#BreadSky #Bread #SchoolLunch #WestVirginia #PepperoniRolls #TheOutpost #Baking #FoodSky #CookSky #recipe Testing out pepperoni rolls for trick or treaters this year. We get 300-500, it’s a long night without actual food. Apparently it’s a WV thing? So soft, but BIG! Have to size them down.
Vertically placed on parchment paper sitting atop a cooling rack are four soft, browned oval shaped rolls. If you didn’t know better, you’d think they are hot dog buns. But nay, you would be wrong. At least in West Virginia. Because they’re actually stuffed with pepperoni and cheese before they’re baked. Trick is on YOU! We’ve never had them, and I doubt we will be in WV anytime soon or ever, it’s off the path of our travels so we made some. They don’t make me sad. If you get there, or feel ambitious, you really should try some.Horizontal to the screen are two soft browned oval buns brushed with garlic and Parmesan butter. Inside the buns are hand cut pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Apparently these are sold at markets, gas stations, and bakeries all over West Virginia. Seems they’re a big regional favorite for the locals there.

Good morning, pals. Mom figured out what’s “bugging” my tummy. She caught me eating cicadas. 🐞 🤭 She was really upset, I tried to tell her they’re so fun to catch! And CRONCHY!!! She won’t eat one. 😢 What’s on your agenda? #TerrierTuesday #DogsofBluesky #Yorkies

Everything that is wrong with the GOP can be explained in these 4 charts The principles of Abuse The failures of racism The Special Snowflake chart The Virtue/Abuse Quadrant chart redloraine.wixsite.com/website/post...
A chart of an asshole - each pucker of the rose represents another spoke on the wheel of abuse - it includes things like abuse, exploitation, transphobia, misogyny, sexual assaultn	The inability to tolerate discomfort
n	No self awareness
n	A lack of a strong internal sense of self that isn’t rooted in hate
n	Which creates a lack of selfactualization outside of racist tropes

n	Not being able to selfsoothe
n	An inability to sort out general information using a basic logic familiarity
n	No distinction between external fears & internal biases
n	A difficulty in changing perspective which translates into being trapped

n	Which all creates 
a self identify rooted in the persecution 
of others
n	Internally understanding 
these actions as wrong means that they will always doubledown because to do otherwise 
would dismantle 
their entire self

Repeating this process is unsustainable. 
Come away from racism. Work on all of these faults
within yourself. Learn how to change your brain.1. Always distort the truth to make you seem favorable and frame the target of abuse as unfavorable.
2. Always misrepresent your motives to be beneficial while hiding the principles of abuse that are being used in whatever action is taken.
3. Frame any call to responsibility or consequences as invalid, and deny, deflect, distract, and attack the source of those calls.
4. Always promise what the targets of manipulation want, frame what you are doing as delivering what they ask for, and then do whatever you want anyway.
5. Undermine any circumstances that stand in your way for example if a wilderness area you want to exploit is pristine, get in and make an oil spill then there is nothing left to protect; or if you want to destroy public education install an abuser, destroy the agency, point at it as a failure of government and then implement your private education plan for profit.
6. Isolate the targets of abuse by dismantling support systems, cutting off access to resources, and opposing anything that could bolster the targets of abuse.
7. Always take the best and leave the least possible for the targets of abuse such as funneling PPE dollars to military contractors while heath care workers use trash bags for protection.
8. Always use unfavorable circumstances to your advantage and if possible, turn circumstances against the targets of abuse such as allowing COVID to ravage blue states while funneling dollars to red states.
9. Always blame the victim for anything bad that happens to them or anything that you do to them.
10. Always pretend to be the victim in any situation, co-opt any symbols or methods your targets use for selfdefense.
11. Never allow scrutiny of your actions and always reject any investigations.
12. Use high control, propaganda, fear, threats, and manipulation to manage the victims of abuse.
13. Never admit to any wrong.
14. Whatever you want to do is the only thing that is important and any suffering you cause along the way is inconsequential or ev…A quadrant chart is a type of data visualization that divides a scatter plot into four quadrants, often used to identify trends, patterns, and relationships between two variables.

Something people really need to understand about abusive agencies and platforms is this: Predatory systems are not chaotic. They are not random. They are not stupid. They are usually extremely calculated in who they mistreat and who they treat exceptionally well.

Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...
I'm sorry. As a technology writer, I'm supposed to be telling you that this bet will some day pay off, because one day we will have shoveled so many words into the word-guessing program that it wakes up and learns how to actually do the jobs it is failing spectacularly at today. This is a proposition akin to the idea that if we keep breeding horses to run faster and faster, one of them will give birth to a locomotive. Humans possess intelligence, and machines do not. The difference between a human and a word-guessing program isn't how many words the human knows.

I'm sorry. I know that when we talk about "digital sovereignty," we're obliged to talk about how we can build more data-centres that we can fill up with money-losing chips from American silicon monopolists in the hopes of destroying as many jobs as possible while blowing through our clean energy goals and enshittifying as much of our potable water as possible.
