From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

In order to annoy the pie haters, I’m gonna fill your skyline with my pies. First up, apple pie. If you don’t like it, don’t eat it. More for me.

Invest in a few trusted, tested cookbooks. And when you find that turkey or side or pie or cookie or meatball or whatever recipe that works well and is delicious, it’s ok to make it every year. There’s no need to reinvent your favorite dishes all the time.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I highly recommend getting a subscription of America's Test Kitchen. I moved there after I couldn't do NYT Cooking anymore. Also when I signed up for a free trial of an annual sub and then decided to cancel before paying, they knocked the annual price down to $25 for the first yr

That was a pretty fun game, fun series, and fun postseason. Heck, even the last couple days of the regular season were pretty fun.
Now what am I supposed to do with myself?
