@FrankCannon @publickovacs @th3j35t3r Oh, come come now.

...wait. Let me rephrase that.

🤣🐺

Me, replying to someone: This chat is notoriously prudish and puritanical. Ask me in DMs.

SFW Chat Owner: Me and the whole mod team were irked by your derogatory description of the chat.

Me, to myself: Thus proving my point.

@Render The orange flash made me wonder because I was pretty sure that had to be buckshot (rubber or otherwise) or a bean bag. So, you.

@Render It's couched in "possible" terms, But there's video from - I think - last night LAPD using rubber bullets.

@TheLegend_AZ @th3j35t3r

The United Appeal for the Dead taught me to recognize the warning signs. That's clearly a corpse in that courtroom! Stiff, rotting smell, occasional drowsiness? Yup!

@publickovacs @th3j35t3r I would have asked, "Are you having a medical emergency? If not, sit down and you can get it yourself, after class."

This is why I love teaching privately. I see them for a scheduled hour. How they use that hour is up to them. So I tend to get focus and little bs.

@Render When did that change? During the US protests a few years back police were firing rubber bullets at the eyes of media reporters.

@Stonekettle I smile every time I think about him shitting his pants and now everybody knowing that nickname.

But Bullying Is Bad™️!

I love that one of the articles correctly spells it, then points out that the stenographer wrote it in the court record as "shits in pants." The article author having fun getting to write it twice in one paragraph.

@th3j35t3r There's a line of Jester action figures? Where can I buy it? Does it come with a mountain lion action figure? Laptop accessory? 😁🐺

@Render I mean, I contend this started around 615 CE when the Prophet Mohammad suddenly and inexplicably* went from "love thy Jewish neighbors" to "death to those scummy merchants."

* The implication in various texts I read, decades ago, was that he lost out on business dealings to Jews. Suggesting the flip-flop from love to hate was all about money.

@LnzyHou Unfortunately, it's also where all the artists post their work now. Sadly, CoSo isn't built to support art and art searching, so Bsky is where to go for that.

Per my previous post about Bsky becoming the hellsite (re: campus protests):

It's amazing just how fast people shut the fuck up when it became clear - as Jews have been telling them all along - this campus bullshit was stirred up by outside antisemitic agitators.

I have to walk away from BlueSky, at least for a month. All my acquaintances are falling for every piece of Gaza propaganda that comes out.

I've had direct conversations with several of them and yet they keep reposting agitprop and lies. I've had long conversations about ethno-nationalist cleansing terms like River to the Sea, Blüt und Boden (Blood and Soil), Lebensraum, and Manifest Destiny yet it doesn't seem to break through the perasive haze of antisemitism.

I'm tired. And angry.

Not to sound flippant or dismissive of the death of a human being, but how is this news?

A) It's a Waffle House.
B) There was a murder.

A always implies B. In fact, all jokes aside, I don't think there's a single Waffle House in the US that hasn't seen at least one murder.

That said, the macabre humor is kinda funny, anyway. Or maybe it's just that I have to laugh so I don't scream at yet another mass shooting in the US.

@Render As someone who did duck and cover drills, I feel this so hard. 😭🐺

Someone posted the first image to my chat, and the second came flooding into my mind.

Because I'm old.

@NaomiSkarzinski According to that old Alton Brown video, and I wish I could find it, it's the rounded vs pointed shapes. Supposedly the rounded with a large air pocket behind the blades allows for great emulsification. But that video was also over a decade old.

It looks like most review places test for mayo making, now. So if the reviews are good on making mayos, trust that.

@NaomiSkarzinski Oh no! That's a V shaped cup. Well, we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't work for mayo, check out this list from F&W Mag.
