  • The sterilization part is what I was concerned about. People who make jam the first time don’t necessarily know how critical that is. You really cannot take shortcuts and be like, “I just washed it. It’s fine.”

  • Hey, they stole that idea from centrists!

  • You can just freeze them for smoothies. Everyone is saying jam and that’s a good idea but it’s a whole process and has to be sanitary. It’s not super hard, obviously, and it’s worth learning how to do but the first time can be a bit daunting and you really have to follow every step. A smoothie is easy.

    Another pretty easy thing is to make ice cream and freeze it. A restaurant I cooked at had fig trees that would go nuts once a year and we’d have buckets of figs. We basically made vanilla ice cream and added figs. That was delicious and ice cream obviously freezes well.

  • Rolling Stone has been doing surprisingly good work too. I don’t know how Teen Vogue and Rolling Stone became more reliable than all the other legacy media but come the fuck on. I guess they just had to reinvent themselves sooner because of their younger readership but I don’t know.

    For non-Americans and you’re wondering about bias, they lean left but in a youth way and not a “we’re trying to spread Marxism” way. They’re just able to say, “Fuck that old bigot.” and that’s kind of the real divide in the country right now. But they were rarely overtly political when I was young.

  • Vote blue no matter who, you centrist assholes.

  • What job has he ever had that wasn’t funded by taxpayers? He was a football coach at public colleges and is now a Senator. And he lost to Vanderbilt.

  • On the one hand, I’m against censorship. But on the other, every bit of content on Facebook and X should be removed and all their hardware run through industrial shredders. It’s quite the conundrum.

  • They act like the mayor of NYC rules with an iron fist when there’s a whole city council and even borough presidents and shit. I don’t live there and don’t know the local political structure well but I’m pretty sure mayors can’t just make decrees and have them be binding law.

  • Every spy in my vicinity is going to be dancing to The Meters - Cissy Strut.

  • Has someone told him where his house is?

    Edit: I fixed some grammar.

  • I know there’s rights issues and all but if they made a real BBC streaming service with their back catalog and every David Attenborough special in 4K, it’d be one thing but Americans are inundated with news and streaming services. I pay for my local newspaper’s digital site — mostly because if I don’t, who will? But even The NY Times has to have recipes and word games to keep people subscribed. Why would anyone pay more than a dollar a month or something for BBC News?

    The U.S. seems like an odd place to trial this. It’s the most competitive media market in the world and we’re all already sick of being asked to pay for 40 different services. In conclusion:🏴‍☠️

  • It would harm the A.I. industry if Anthropic loses the next part of the trial on whether they pirated books — from what I’ve read, Anthropic and Meta are suspected of getting a lot off torrent sites and the like.

    It’s possible they all did some piracy in their mad dash to find training material but Amazon and Google have bookstores and Google even has a book text search engine, Google Scholar, and probably everything else already in its data centers. So, not sure why they’d have to resort to piracy.

  • Boiled crawfish and a cold beer. Or maybe turtle soup au sherry and a sazerac. Depends on the season.

  • Of course. It’s not the path you want to take. But I’m old enough to remember similar times and the future isn’t written yet.

  • Who even wants a Bill Clinton endorsement? I don’t live in NYC so it’s not something I’m going to have to deal with but who is thinking “Oh, the elderly sex pest endorsed him? That’s going to change my decision.”

  • Somehow, the most reasonable account on Vichy Twitter is Grok because it’s hard to train an LLM using only data dumbasses wrote.

  • “The Cheapest Motel in Amarillo” will be the name of my next album. It’ll be out once I learn to play an instrument or sing or whatever releasing an album involves.

  • I stayed at a random roadside motel in Amarillo, Texas recently that was not nice but it was $30 a night and I was driving to Santa Fe so I was just glad to be past Dallas and all the traffic. There were no bugs, I’ll give it that. But there were no amenities.

    So, I don’t know how to rate it. It had a bed and bathroom and was $30. But it wasn’t like they had an ice machine or breakfast or coffee or anything like that. You got a bed, shower, and toilet though. Can’t be too picky with roadside motels.

  • They have to fight this battle. Traffic was probably down 80% due to one cabinet member not knowing VPNs exist.
