They should stop writing recipes for food processors. You can usually make the thing without them!!!! People used to make things before they were invented you know!!!!!!!!!!

If there’s anything I’m never doing again, it’s forming a parasocial attachment to a politician.

Some of the way people are posting it’s like noooo please stop you do not know these people! Please stop falling for this stuff again and again 😭

Marquette Park this morning, ~45 min ago at 70th and Washtenaw per anon FB post. Through a screen, someone films Border Patrol agents taking a man into a red minivan and driving away. Another angle of this shared to social media shows it happened in front of a daycare.

The new song I’m working on has a few time signature changes and a section with an ambiguous key 😃

Idk how annoying this will be to play but I really don’t care!!!!

Every time I open Threads it’s like looking into an alternate universe where nothing of significance has ever happened and the most important thing going on is some niche interpersonal drama or some pop culture “debate” about an episode of S*uth P*rk.

I knew we were cooked as a society when everyone just sorta decided they were sick of dealing with Covid and everyone just decided to pretend like it wasn't a thing anymore.

Today, Chicago Park District workers used heavy equipment to evict unhoused people from Gompers Park on the Northwest Side.

While residents were given some opportunity to save belongings, all remaining tents and possessions were destroyed this morning.

Every time a creamy soup recipe is like “now transfer hot liquid to a blender” I feel triumph because I have an immersion blender and it saves me from such nonsense

I really need to work on not searching for context when someone makes a vague post about celebrity or internet drama I hadn't heard about.

It's NEVER worth it! It's filling my brain with straight up garbage!!!!!!

Ok one of my hot political takes is how people use the word "brunch" as a pejorative.

What did brunch do to anyone??? Is there something objectively wrong with hanging out with your friends and eating a waffle??????
