Critics have claimed the recipe requires half a dozen eggs, while others have noted that only six eggs are required
How did the @nytimes.com editors let this sentence appear?

"Critics have likened Mr. Trump’s approach to extortion, while others have chalked it up as a cost of doing business with this administration."

“hey hangman you promised us pics of plants, this is just a bunch of leaves what gives?” newsflash dumbass, leaves IS plants. leaves provide winter shelter for insects like lightning bugs and butterflies, fertilize the soil, and are a pain in the ass to move anyway so just leave them where you can

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

If my cat could talk I'm certain every day we'd have the dumbest arguments and she'd yell my personal business in the background of every phone call I made.

In Indianapolis for a couple of DMB shows. I thought road construction in MN was bad, but it doesn't even compare! Now, if they could just focus on the side roads instead of adding two more lanes to every freeway.

Here’s a neat thing to look for a tomorrow’s Pride parade: all local law firms are marching together for the first time, not separately by firm. It’s to show scale & solidarity as Trump illegally targets law firms. Banner will say “Law Firms With Pride.” My wife helped organize & I’m proud of her.

How are these guys still around?

[non-Minnesotans, before you re-post the thing about the splits in the House and Senate: the legislature is not in session (literally just adjourned in the last week) and won't be back in session until next year]

While MN waits for news on the conditions of the Dem legislators, we can look back at one of the times that Melissa Hortman was a great ally and refused to apologize after she called out the shitty behavior of fellow (white male) legislators.

State Rep. still not sorry after complaint filed over 'white male' remark
A formal complaint says Rep. Melissa Hortman's comments needlessly invoked race and gender.
