It's so damn good. I think about it all week between episodes, and that doesn't happen often for me!

I tried making bread once. Got divorced a few years later. Not saying the two events are related, but I'm not not saying it.
A screengrab of an old tumblr post with the text: 

By the way, just in case this helps someone - 

COOKING - creativity is okay 

BAKING - stick to the recipe (you can usually adjust sugar content to taste, though) 

BREAD - wait for the right weather conditions (or engineer them), be one assertive and self-confident motherfucker because dough can feel it if you aren't, a blood sacrifice probably helps, trust the gods

@kagi.com I often get this "We haven't found anything" screen for search terms that, I mean, would definitely have something. Usually if I hit 'retry' a couple of times, it'll work, but... what gives?

@reloader-au.bsky.social Folks, any idea if the absence of images in my Reloader RSS feed is a bug at your end? Occurring in both Inoreader and Feedly.

Oof, the addition of gen AI as a 'feature', and pushing it so hard, is definitely poor form for a company that targets creators. But yeah... I confess I really want this thing. The price though 😬

On this day 108 years ago an 18 year old boy was killed in the basement of a house in France by an artillery shell. That boy was my Great Uncle George. It's a sad one, but it has some lovely bits too. He was known as the Baby of The Battalion, red more here yelpar.blogspot.com/2026/08/geor...

Cafés should have a sign you can put on your table that says "we haven't seen each other in months so we're gonna chat for ages before it occurs to us that we should look at the menu; please stop asking if we're ready to order, but definitely bring over a couple of flat whites in the meantime"

do they sell pillows for screaming all our rage and frustration into or do we just use the ones we've already got? I feel like our employers should have to provide a fresh pillow every few months or something

Holy shit this is life changing
A social media post featuring a screenshot of a structured, flow-chart-style brownie recipe table. Above the table, caption text reads, "I can't believe someone solved recipe design decades ago and everyone just decided to ignore it". Below the table, a repost from @howstuffworks adds, "YOU’RE TELLING ME I COULD’VE BEEN PUTTING MY RECIPES INTO SPREADSHEETS THIS WHOLE TIME?????". The recipe chart lists ingredients on the left (butter, sugar, vanilla, espresso, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt) and uses connecting block columns to visually map out action steps like melting, mixing, folding in, and baking.

Even the man stubbornly fights the man in Australia This is the KFC reaction to a postal worker getting fired after an unauthorised KFC break (other stuff too, but everyone likes a good tale)
OFFICIAL BRAND STATEMENT
Unfortunately, not all scheduled work breaks line-up perfectly with a KFC craving.
While we don't set the schedules, we do know how chicken obsessed our fans can be and that the call for 11 herbs and spices can strike at any time of the day.
To ensure future visits by postal workers are strictly 'official business,'
KFC is immediately posting a bunch of very urgent postcards addressed to...ourselves.
These will be arriving to select local KFC restaurants across the country soon.
The good news for posties - we need you to deliver this essential mail right inside the restaurant. When you do, simply hand the postcard over the counter to a friendly team member, and it is redeemable for a free meal.
Consider it postage paid in chicken.
Kind regards,
KFC

Started watching Masters of the Universe with my son last night – why the fk is it so long?? We paused it with 45 minutes left because it was getting too late. I haven't seen such a poorly edited movie in forever. It's been fun overall, with some great scenes, but damn it needs to be cut way down.
