@americanair.bsky.social the oil in your oil/vinegar dressing was solidified in J on 2207 today. Apparently stored 40-50F and takes hours/days to rewarm to a liquid. Not going to warm up at any time during the meal service. You might want to have your caterer put it in a different storage area.

“You’re not a contradiction in terms when you’re the one writing the terms. It’s a lesson I wish younger people — sorted into boxes not only by social pressure, but by panopticon data miners — understood through experiences beyond life as prey.”

Read Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. What it reveals about Zuckerberg and Sandburg is much worse than I expected.

“The concentration camp the Trump administration built in Florida is being marketed as normal.…As concentration camps become more common, they will offend fewer people — and they will be called normal…you must remember that normal is not the same as right, no more than law is the same as justice.”

Often when I warned about this attack, people couldn’t comprehend it because it harms the GOP and their supporters. You never understood: they don’t think dollars are “real.” Do you get it now? This is an effort to kill the dollar and replace it with “hard” currency.

Read & learn. "No one advocating for a government shutdown “fight” with Republicans seemed to give any thought to how such a shutdown might interact with the debt ceiling X-date, coming up in as little as 60 days, and whether an ongoing shutdown might increase the likelihood of default."

So RFK Jr’s CDC is planning a study to look at autism and vaccines despite numerous studies showing there is no connection. What will happen is he hires the right “scientists” to get the answer he wants and then health insurance no longer covers vaccines because they’re “harmful”.

He’s working hard to hold up GA voter suppression laws, inc Senate Bill 202, which limits mail-in voting, shortens election timelines and prohibits line warming.

The events unfolding now are, in several material ways, worse than estimated. There are still major issues to address (budget; debt ceiling) but the capture of the treasury and dismantling of agencies by force is beyond even P2025. This is an attack by hostile foreign powers.
