These light and fluffy buns hold a secret: they are 25% masa harina so they taste like corn tortillas
14 roughly round buns on a cooling rack. They have turned a nice golden brown on top

Local knitting clubs getting closer every day to reenacting this legendary event but with an ICE agent.
Herodotus states the dress of the women in Athens was changed from the Doric peplos to the Ionic chiton after the widows of the men killed on military expedition to Aegina stabbed and killed the sole survivor with their peplos pins, each demanding where their husband was. This lynching 'seemed a thing more terrible than the disaster'. Thereafter their chitons were held with buttons, often styled with the face of the Gorgon.

I'm sorry, what did this Danish movie just call me?
A screen reading "SLUT." then as a subtitle "THE END."

Literally zero percent fresh. I hadn't realized it was so poorly received on Rotten Tomatoes, it's an incredibly fun movie!
The Phantom of the Opera (1998) directed by Dario Argento. It has a 0% fresh score according to 9 critic reviews. A 22% popcornmeter rating according to over 5,000 ratings. The description says "A menacing catacomb dweller (Julian Sands), raised by rats beneath the Paris Opera, falls for an understudy (Asia Argento)"

He's more of a manager than a helper. Doesn't do any manual labor himself, but tells me loudly when I'm doing it wrong.

I love scoring my sourdough like this. It's so funny to have a silly little raised platform on top of the bread.
Loaf of sourdough bread shot from above. There is a square raised up in the top of the bread. The edges of the square are extra dark brown, contrasting the light golden color of the rest of the crust. The same loaf of bread shot from the side. From this angle you can see that the square is a full inch off the top of the bread. It's like a little raised platform.

Cat O Nine Tales (1971) laying down some truth about cops.
Two men sitting in a dark living room. The subtitle reads "Naturally. Cops are all Bastards." The same living room, the man not speaking has stood up to leave. The subtitle reads "We beat confessions out of people. Take Bribes." The shot shows the man not speaking trying to leave the room. The speaker is still sitting on the couch. The subtitle reads "We oppress minorities."

This Pascal quote at the beginning of What Computers Still Can't Do is making me want to go read Pascal instead. But I will soldier on.
The difference between the mathematical mind {esprit de geome- trie) and the perceptive mind {esprit de finesse): the reason that math- ematicians are not perceptive is that they do not see what is before them, and that, accustomed to the exact and plain principles of mathematics, and not reasoning till they have well inspected and arranged their princi- ples, they are lost in matters of perception where the principles do not allow for such arrangement. . . . These principles are so fine and so numerous that a very delicate and very clear sense is needed to perceive them, and to judge rightly and justly when they are perceived, without for the most part being able to demonstrate them in order as in math- ematics; because the principles are not known to us in the same way, and because it would be an endless matter to undertake it. We must see the matter at once, at one glance, and not by a process of reasoning, at least to a certain degree. . . . Mathematicians wish to treat matters of percep- tion mathematically, and make themselves ridiculous . . . the mind . . . does it tacitly, naturally, and without technical rules. PASCAL, Pensees

The feeder is popular today! They've got a line all the way down the windowsill waiting to get in

This comic nearly killed me, I don't know why
A comic panel showing conquistadors confronting native Americans. The native Americans in question look like they have been stretched side to side, very wide bodies and heads. One is standing in a fountain. The speech bubble says "Youth? No, Sorry, this is the fountain of width."
