Everyone’s horrified about evangelicals glorifying a public execution when like their whole religion is glorifying a public execution

This is Riley. She's my beagle. She dresses up like an orange cat named Kevin to get more meals. She also strongly disagrees with Kevin's dieting restrictions. Do not feed her, she already ate.

They were nowhere near a nuclear weapon and were not even enriching uranium per Tulsi under oath. The day Epstein files were released showing a former 13 year old girl accused him of rape and assault is the day he ordered the first strikes.

Interesting dish: Old Number 7 taco. Flour tortilla, melted brie, arugula with apple cider vinegar, pickled blueberries and red onions, and topped with pistachios. #foodsky
An enjoyable taco, plated, on a table. Ingredients described in the post.

#Foodsky: I submit to you kalua pork, mac salad and corn, alongside a mai tai at Trader Vic's in Atlanta. Really hit the spot.
A photo of Kalua pork, mac salad and grilled/blackened corn heavily seasoned with pepper. Served with a sweet bbq-like sauce and some wrap dealies. The classic Trader Vic's Mai Tai served with it was a delight as well.

Is there a #DessertSky? If not, there should be. #FoodSky might be okay with it. Idk.
Pineapple upside down cake at Trader Vic's in ATL. Delightful dessert.

Tom Barrett wants every local township to fend for themselves against trillion-dollar tech companies. Here's how 'local control' actually worked in Saline: Residents and local officials said no to a hyperscale data center. Then Oracle and OpenAI sued them into submission and built anyway.

It’s been a terrible week to understand economics. US bond yields are up because the govt are spending like they’re trying to get out of a recession, the rates have gone up from 1%-5% and not because they expect inflation to go up.

#DrunksOfBluesky why haven't you told me about the mescal mule? They're exceptionally delicious; the smokey flavor balanced with the bite of (Fevertree) ginger beer and lime juice is a delight.

A ton of effort is going to go into pretending taxing rich people doesn’t work just like a lot of work went into immediately ignoring and getting rid of that expanded child tax credit once it was revealed it worked way better than expected

I don't remember what I ordered, but the fact that they light something on fire (the glowie burning steel wool[?]) to serve it to you immediately makes it twice as delicious.
A fine alcoholic beverage I am consuming at a bar at the Venetian. They lit some steel wool on fire to stage the drink nicely while serving it.

Late flight from DTW to LAS and it was even later thanks to poor coordination from #delta and the ops team on the ground at Detroit. Had to wait over two hours for gate checked bags to get loaded.

Oh, I'm sure not. BG3 is wonderful, but I don't speak for everyone on how it's played. Just elder Millenials with a penchant for jaunty hats who enjoy obsessing about the minute details in well-designed games, but also have to bail for other committments after putting in far too many hours /1

I don't normally eat like this, but I gotta say, when in Canada, get the damn poutine. The burger also has breaded, fried jalapenos. The flavor is so good, and it really showcases the Canadian beef. The place is Burgers Priest in London, ON. Great workers, great service, too.

Last minute booking to Jacksonville. Exit row plus no middle passenger isn't bad. At least I'm not squished into a middle seat in the back.

So Denver is pretty nice. Was at the Convention Center for a talk to a nice sized crowd, and got to get out for some good food at La Loma and checking out a cool clock tower from my hotel.
Not pictured: the delicious Denver Green Chile. This is, however, a photo of tasty carnitas Mexican City Tacos from La Loma in Denver -- the one by the Coors stadium.A cabaret, burlesque and clock tower all in one building, visible from my hotel room? Sign me up!

A somewhat janky digital rendering of the 60s version of the USS Enterprise rendered in greenish grays with orange highlights on the front of the nacelles and the deflector dish. There is a burst of whooshing rays behind it but the background is the default natural paper color I’ve been using and not space black. Reddish-orange text around the ship set in a Star Trek TOS font reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.
