I’m gonna eat so many baguettes this year
Especially if it’s from a place I haven’t tried
If I have the opportunity to eat a baguette in 2026 I’m gonna say yes

Off to a great start for Baked Potato Wednesday

I feel like any day where you have a fire alarm that is NOT A DRILL AND you have actual
Fucking sewage dripped on you should be a day to leave early.
Oh well.
Mozzarella sticks save me!

I went for a walk today to break in my new shoes.
A horribly disturbing scene happened on my street and hood; a large black truck rode slowly down the streets with a megaphone mounted on top blasting recorded messages from Noam about ICE and turning “illegals” in.
What the absolute fuck, America??

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

If you would like to be in the slightest bit an ally, at the very least, when you see someone else masking, in a store, at the doctors, put one on yourself. Let that person know by your action that you have not abandoned them and they are not alone. Because they could be living on rice and yeast.

Next time you are tempted to say “back during covid” please understand that I didn’t get sick until after Biden declared the pandemic over, and there are millions struggling to get safe access to care because of this idea. It’s not over. People are getting sick today who will get as sick as I am.

Part of the continued problem with denialism is it makes people who are already suffering the effects suffer even more. I should not have to beg to be protected from infection in a health care facility, especially during flu season!

Which is why I’m really writing this. I am malnourished and running out of food because of this stupid illness, and the covid is over delusions are so strong, my DOCTOR can’t understand why I’d want to avoid infection. Why should this even be a question? Why don’t they have protocols in place?

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.

![Dominic: So do you know what's going to happen?
Finch: No. It was a feeling. But I can guess. With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty.
[A young girl wearing one of V's Guy Fawkes mask is shown being shot and killed by a secret police officer. Angry people surround and attack him, undeterred by his badge or gun.]
Finch: And then, Sutler will be forced do the only thing he knows how to do. At which point, all V needs to do is keep his word. And then...
