Currently enjoying a local wagyu style strip, pan seared in clarified butter, seasoned with salt and finely ground black pepper (after so not burnt and bitter) with a homemade sauce of tomato ketchup, worcestershire, cayenne, garlic, onion puree, cane sugar, apple cider vngr, fish sauce.

people have lots of opinions about steak, and what you like is what you like. I like a lot of different preparations. But my hill to die on isn't crust of rest or any of that. It's that old school American steak sauce is actually good, and if you wanna use it, you're right.

Sen. Bill Demora introduced this. Write him and encourage him to withdraw it.

If you’re an Ohioan who cares about bicycles, or alternative transportation, I strongly urge you to write to Sen. Bill Demora and urge him to withdraw SB 477

unfortunately, I think we can assume a lot of the GOP members are on board with it - or may have their own worse verison in the works. Its both (unfortunately) a bipartisan moral panic, and fits the GOPs usual pattern: anti-environment, anti-poor, and anti-commnuities of color.

ebikes support small and local businesses. They make buisnesses easier to access. They don't require parking, so lhave ower costs per customer, They need repair. They can be low cost delivery solutions.

This is bad legislation that will reduce the accessibility of transportation for young people, people that cannot drive, and religious communities that rely on ebikes for everything from grocery runs to school transport. www.wkyc.com/article/news...

a screenshot of a part of a wikipedia article : "The firm has been investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for various violations. The company has made substantial political donations to Donald Trump and entered into partnerships with Trump's businesses.[11] During the second Donald Trump administration, the SEC softened its regulation of the company."

It's fascinating to learn how many more kids die in ATV accidents every year than in e-bike accidents, then observing that there is a moral panic about kids riding e-bikes but not about kids riding ATVs.

in case you can't tell, i'm really fed up with street racing cars and motorcycles. Not even the racing itself. just If i can hear you five blocks away (on city streets) ... your car/motorcyle/truckthing is too damned loud. And doesn't belong on public streets.

Oh, and the integrity concerns? Not immigrant voting or anything else they've claimed. They're pretty much entirely these yahoos plying, playing shell games with election regulations, and otherwise trying to make it harder to vote.

There are 23 million people in FL. 14 million of them were registered to vote in 2024. 11 million of them voted. That's something like 0.0000017% There are very real election security and integrity concerns. This isn't one of them.

I don’t think the job crisis is because of spam applications but a combination of organizations refusing to expand and also being completely unwilling to consider training a neccessary expense or a part of induction into organizational culture

Raskin made a holy shit observation on MS Now this afternoon: Since taking office, Trump has made a million dollars per hour for himself. Every hour, he has made more than twice the president’s annual salary.

"In 2020, there were only six programs in the U.S. that sent unarmed responders, such as mental health clinicians, to certain 911 calls instead of police officers. Now, these programs — sometimes called alternative or community response — are in nearly 100 cities." www.npr.org/2026/09/22/n...

How unarmed 911 teams are reshaping public safety in nearly 100 cities
Alternative response programs, where mental health clinicians respond to 911 calls instead of police, have proliferated since George Floyd's murder. What does it take to do this work well?
