I spent the afternoon Doordashing a half dozen mixed roses with balloon helium lips adorning them, and delivered a big ol box of heart shaped Lindt truffles to an older couple all the way in Melrose, MA. Meanwhile my offering of a " Funfetti cupcake " ( deliciously retro cake mix with little fruit flavored bits ) and frosted with sugary white, fluffy frosting, sprinkled with vanilla dragees to my Valentine 💝 was roundly ignored. As in the Film " Bridesmaids, " my Romeo roundly ignored my offering all day. The target bag with the glass Tupperware ( I am Martha Fucking Stewart !!! ") sat untouched on his doorstep all day. I checked. I wish actual raccoons had eaten it. All is fair in love and war, n'est-ce pas ?

Long but interesting video here about a Japanese man who has been running a street food stall in Fukuoka since he was 17, and is now 45, although he was involved in his family's food stall younger than 17. This includes moving the whole setup from its storage spot in a parking lot, assembling the whole thing, cooking, then taking it apart after the working evening is done. And of course if you like Japanese food it might make you hungry.
I grew up before the internet existed. Well, not as we know it. I'd have to hold all kinds of information in my head.
I got pissed off with The Kids when the internet came along. "Yeah, nice, but that's just google knowledge" because any fuck can google a thing. Knowing is different. How the fuck can you have a decent conversation in the pub if you don't know anything? Get your phone out? Fuck off.
Now we have AI. I could probably have a decent bat at "religious references in Stendhal's Scarlet and Black" right now. I'd be better if I had the book in front of me. Now you just type that shit in as a prompt and get a clippy++ spew.
Donald Trump and his MAGA movement are not "Conservatives' in the true sense. Nor are televangelists In both instances they are unscrupulous charlatans who exploit traditional values held by those who could be regarded as marginally informed. They prey upon decent people and garner their support through deceit and trickery, Their supporters are victims of this well orchestrated con game, our fellow Americans We must continue to educate people and be patient. The MAGA base cannot be viewed as enemies They are good people who have been drawn into this web of deceit,. much like children who have fallen victim to cult leaders.
I tend to view people that want me dead on enslaved as enemies, but that's probably the Highland Scot in me talking. Half of the GOP voters might be salvaged, but the MAGA base are not good people. They have been set free to be their worst selves.
None of the MAGA I know are good people and most are willingly ignorant fucking losers. Maybe 2016's dupes could be forgiven, but now it's voluntarily abetting fascism.
Besides, do you think they DON'T view US as enemies? Have you met any of these fucking people in real life?
If we had spent $12 trillion on medical research rather than chasing ghosts in deserts and blowing holes in rocks and sand, we would already have a cure for cancer.
You pedo/sexual predator protecting piece of SHIT.
At this time in history I am currently contemplating toxic levels of unmitigated HATRED that I didn't even know I was remotely capable of. I want to inflict some PAIN on these pricks.
Reporting from Minnesota to state once again that I know it's not healthy to hate this much, but I am right there with you. If these fuckers think we won't outlast them, they are woefully mistaken.
"Has he ever met fuckface on that whole creating evidence thing?"
I have no doubt he helped
I'm with Skepti
He makes me so angry I could spit
I read that one of the reasons the Republicans are so flaccid in their duty and so fierce in their shielding of the predators is because they're protecting their donors
This looks FABULOUS & PERFECT for Valentines day.

I must make this soon! Tonight it's two batches of scones, one sweet, one savory.

Suggestion for site improvement... More food , less Trump!!
More Cat and Doggo pics
also, Hedgehogs
I've been a lover of chocolate cake since it became the standard for my birthdays. This one is a beauty.
Growing up, my standard birthday cake request was devil's food cake with seven-minute cooked icing. Still my fave.
Is there any other kind of cake?
I've heard rumors...
The original funder for the Steele Dossier may have been Rubio

This whole fruit thing has me re-thinking banana cream pie for its potential health benefits.
Yes
Also strawberry 🍓
Banana cream pie is both nutritious and comforting It feeds the body, mind, and spirit!!
IMPORTANT NOTE
The recipe lists cocoa butter, it should be cocoa POWDER.
This is added along with the flour and other dry ingredients.
I will correct yhe recipe when I am able to access my laptop (probably tomorrow morning).

Headed out there with the fam in March.
Cakes: I see you have cocoa butter in the ingredients list, but can't see where it is in the directions.
Not cocoa butter. It should say cocoa powder. And it goes in with yhe other dry ingredients. It may have been changed after I submitted it.
Maybe AI thinks it should be cocoa butter.What would that cyber creep know about baking anyway!
I can't edit it on my phone, so it'll have to wait until i can log in on my laptop, which will be tomorrow.
Thanks! It sounds wonderful. ;-)
I dream of cooking breakfast with Nigella Lawson…
FEB!!~ Don't forget the black pudding and baked beans!!

Only thing PAB ever did for them: give them permission to be ignorant, racist assholes in public and proud of it.
None of the MAGA I know are good people and most are willingly ignorant fucking losers. Maybe 2016's dupes could be forgiven, but now it's voluntarily abetting fascism.
Besides, do you think they DON'T view US as enemies? Have you met any of these fucking people in real life?
Many of them And have been successful in turning them. Very few are in reality racist or misogynistic. They just have been sold a lie
Good on you for trying.
I've given up for something more attainable, like a cure for cancer*
*improved type of immunotherapy with the potential to increase clinical responses
If we had spent $12 trillion on medical research rather than chasing ghosts in deserts and blowing holes in rocks and sand, we would already have a cure for cancer.
Good people who just happen to be attracted to racism and misogyny?
They don't openly call it that, but rather "traditional values" As I said 'deceit and trickery" They utilize fear, a powerful motivational tool
It's not 'deceit and trickery' when it is blatant.
That is the most effective form of deceit and trickery. It's not racism and misogyny but rather traditional values and Bible teachings.
Very nice cake! I subscribe to Marissa Rothkopf's Substack and she has this recipe for chocolate cake:
https://open.substack.com/pub/marissarothkopf/p/my-favorite-chocolate-cake?
Even though my cardiovascular specialist wants me to stay away from chocolate, I will never be able to break this habit.....or is it a vice?????
I'd say it's a moral imperative.
The Guardian:
"TODD BLANCHE says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over’
Deputy US attorney general says victims ‘want to be made whole’ but that doesn’t mean ‘we can just create evidence’"
https://archive.ph/AUt7f
Seems like a weird justification for covering up evidence.
*shocked face *
Translation:
"Everything we haven't released shows Trump to be GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY"
"...shows trump & my other daddies to be GUILTY..."

I would tell you to go to Hell, Todd, but I assume that you accepted that fate when you signed on for this evil gig.
Has he ever met fuckface on that whole creating evidence thing? You know, like the current slaughter going on in Minneapolis and elsewhere?
Creating evidence/hiding suspects/intimidating witnesses...

As Bitcoin plunges, I have to just sit and ponder the insane headlines around crypto:

Wow
Do you think Anonymous came through after all
