Just a guess, but thought you could use some fudgy raspberry brownies.
Brownies are made with hazelnut flour, btw. And, like, beyond good.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...
I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

It's possible that Trump/Musk mass layoffs could be so large the US actually loses jobs this month.
Fun fact: The US hasn't lost jobs in a single full month since the last time Trump was in office, per US government stats.

FAA says a military helicopter collided with the American Airlines passenger jet from Wichita near DCA.
There must be immediate hearings on how the federal government/Department of Defense allowed this to happen and if removal of safety protocols and recent personnel changes led to this incident.
