Trying to decide if I'm going to run a marathon on Sunday and then do base2space next Sunday. There are legit good reasons, and at least one decent reason (charity), but I wonder how my vertigo and 46 yo knees will feel about this.

So back on my bs

I just realized my record player fits almost perfectly on top of my 8088 portable, and now I'm trying to decide if I'm designed for a bedside table or a vinyl cabinet.

I’ve been fascinated with other cultures since I was a kid (my dad is a polyglot too), but the thing that really did it for me was a summer internship in college for Senator Clinton where I was randomly assigned to constituent immigration casework. It was a crash course in the field.

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.
For those of you who received a DNF due to issues at the Magnolia Loop section of the course, we will be changing your status from DNF. Instead, we will list you in the results under a 24.2 mile "marathon" or 10.75 mile "half marathon." We will also include a special column which will include an estimated finish time for a full 26.2 mile marathon or 13.1 mile half marathon, based on your averaged pace.

Since the plural of attorney general is attorneys general, then the plural of brother in law should probably be brothers in law. Would that make the shorthand "ins law"?

Shoes going rogue is always such a weird story chain in my mind.

Third time making bagels. They came out a good size, crisp outer, maybe a little underbake right inside the crust. Good flavor overall.
Four lumpy bagels on a bamboo cutting board.

I forgot to buy bagels so I made some. This is the second time (last time was something like 6 months ago), and they look better but I think my dough forming needs some more work.
Six bagels on a cooling rack. They are irregular in shape, and have ranges of coloring showing where they were unevenly baked.

I finally got a book shelf I like, migrated books to it, and now have measured how much* books I have to go. Today, I'm roughly 338 inches in the red. That means I added 360 inches of bookshelf and am still so in the red. * Linear

I’m sorry, this might be a great investigation, but “as it was never intended” is obscene. This is precisely how many people specifically and repeatedly told us — warned us — it would be used.

Second time baking Paul Hollywood's cheese loaf. Very good even though I modified the recipe and messed up both times.

Finally hung my running medals.
Seven running medals dangling from an unseen location. There's an electrical outlet and plug visible below them. From left to right is: a red-green tartan ribbon with a heraldic crest medal; purple ribbon with text saying "Lake Wa" trailing off and red- cream medal; pink 90s mall decor ribbon with a running cookie medal; a green ribbon with text that says " St. Patrick's" and a wreath like medal having a centered leprechaun; a multiple shade of blue ribbon with a blue-black-white tear drop medal turned sideways; a light blue ribbon with a white skull and crossbones circle medal; a blue ribbon with a cartoonish eyes on it with a sunglasses medal with the text 5k visible.

Hey @markey.senate.gov @edmarkey.bsky.social, could you maybe not push to support a bill that if it becomes law, the GOP would use to force useful info for LGBTQ folks offline, by claiming it's "harmful"? One of your co-signers on this letter directly came out and said that's what the law is for.

Bad: I misremembered a tart pan and two cake rounds as being at least one cake round with a removable bottom (should be using a spring form).

It is true, and not just for comedians: the introduction of the ‘like’ button marked the end of Twitter’s golden age. I discovered so many great accounts when they were RTed in my direction. Tomorrow I’m just going to do that for a bunch of funny/interesting people.
