  1. @MHowell Yes, more comprehensive coverage than the Times, which has been critical of Mayor Wilson's appointment of former EPA executive to head City Light instead of a "businessman [sic]." Hope this is the beginning of City Light decentralized grid building and ultimate dam removal on one of the most amazing rivers in the world. Thank you for the alert.

  2. @MHowell @michael_w_busch yes, and also the rest, led by fools and cowards and thiefs and liars and tyrants all at once, it's all the same people simultaneously, a kakistocracy

    Major retailer Best Buy in Canada resells 3rd party goods on their website that are delivered by Amazon

    I just saw this curious $6,000 ream of paper there

    Possibly a #MoneyLaundering token

    Wasn't me, but I don't doubt it.

    As I've said repeatedly: "It's a #dangerous game The #Media and #pollsters are playing, hyping a close race.

    B/c if we do see a lopsided win, it only feeds into The #Cult's narrative that "the election was stolen."

    "The analysis confirms previous public health findings that #AbstinenceOnly education programs don't succeed in reducing rates of #TeenPregnancies or #STDs. Moreover, public health data indicate that such programs 'have little demonstrated efficacy in helping adolescents to delay intercourse,' the authors write."

  6. An updated recipe for delicious bagels

    I like to post progress notes and photos to Mastodon while doing my Sunday baking. It mostly ends up being about bagels, but not always – sometimes I’ll make baguettes or sweetbreads or something else entirely.

    But mostly, it’s all about the #bagels. I post about bagels so regularly that people have started using my bagel posts as a warning that Monsterdon – the weekly monster-movie watch with live commentary – is incoming.

    (#monsterdon is in fact a monster, trending Federation-wide each Sunday evening, starting shortly after my baking posts wrap up. It’s great. Follow #MonsterdonAlert for news and voting on which films to watch.)

    Anyway, in response to my latest baking thread, MHowell asked me if I’d blogged about baking bagels, particularly for people who bake only occasionally. And the answer was… sort of? So I threw them a short post that linked my recipe.

    But since it’s been a while – and I’ve learned some things – here’s a new, more comprehensive version of the bagel recipe! This version adds more dough variations, includes a couple of important process discoveries, and explains a bunch of steps left unexplained in the original.

    It is a bit wordier, I’m afraid, but it is very complete, which should make it good for beginners and occasional bakers.

    Unfortunately, that also keeps it from fitting onto a single page, so it’s RTF only this time. If you want a single-page version like last time, you’ll have to put together your own. (ETA: And even so, I didn’t have room to describe how to make your bagels nice and smooth and regular. So have a second post just for that.)

    Of course, the more you do this, the less you’ll need the recipe – I barely reference it these days, and then only for ingredient weights. But if that’s you, you probably don’t need a recipe! At least, not more than once.

    Anyway. Enjoy DELICIOUS BAGELS! ^_^

  7. ICYMI Excellent interview about the Voting Rights Act and where it now stands with Sherrill Ifill and Jon Stewart of The Daily Show.

    Civil rights lawyer and founding director of Howard Law School's 14th Amendment Center for Law & Democracy, Sherrilyn Ifill, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss the Supreme Court’s weakening of the Voting Rights Act.

    They talk about how the reinstatement for purposeful discrimination overturned the court’s own precedent, how the Voting Rights Act protects the voting strength of minorities and their candidates of choice, and the dangerous potential for Trump and Republicans to redistrict using this precedent in an effort to turn seats in the House.

  8. @skeletor Bad news, Skeletor:

    Roger Sweet, a Lake Stevens, WA resident and the toy designer who created the He-Man action figure for Mattel, died this week after a battle with dementia. He was 91. “Roger played a pivotal role in the early development of Masters of the Universe, helping introduce iconic characters including He-Man and _Skeletor_ to the world and inspiring generations of fans to find their inner power,” the toy company said in a statement. “His legacy endures in the characters he helped bring to life and the imaginations he ignited.”

  16. RE: flipboard.com/@newyorktimes/ne

    The corrected headline (and the one NYT won't use because of conflict of interest) is "Soldiers scapegoated, prosecuted for winning Maduro ouster bets, while there were zero prosecutions of ultra-wealthy with insider info for doing exactly the same thing"

    Also, John Oliver did a segment on Prediction Markets. Spoiler: It is not a good outcome if you lack insider info.
