I’ve been told #breadsky might appreciate this breb.

I’ve been making the Tartine country loaf for a couple months now, after years of yeast bread baking. They’re really turning out nicely so far!

Incredible
STATE HOUSE — In response to a string of tariffs levied by President Trump, Rep. Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) is calling on Gov. Dan McKee to establish free trade zones in Rhode Island under powers granted to the governor by King Charles II in Rhode Island’s Royal Charter. According to the charter, which was granted by the king on July 18, 1663, the governor and all successors are empowered to “hold commerce and trade, with such inhabitants of other colonies peaceably.” In a letter to the governor, Representative McNamara suggested that the Commerce Corporation could explore the possibilities of establishing trade agreements with international car manufacturers and name the Quonset Industrial Park as a free trade zone. He also suggested that Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport, which is currently building a warehouse, would be ideal for duty-free importing, and that the Port of Providence has been underutilized as a working port and would be booming if it were named the first Free Trade Port on the East Coast. “Our state has a long history of resisting unfair authoritative trade mandates and taxes,” wrote Representative McNamara. “One only has to reflect back on our 252-year history to be reminded of the action that our early colonists took in 1772 when faced with an unlawful British vessel. The burning of the Gaspee was not only the first meaningful event of the American Revolution, but it also solidified our belief in free trade and the rights that were given to us by King Charles II in 1663.”

And exactly what "era" have we been living through for the past four decades?

I know Elon has claimed he’s on the spectrum, and people have various theories on it, but what if he’s just a racist asshole who’s high on ketamine all the time?

“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told

DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

People feared the computer glitch would mean "the end of the world as we know it." Thankfully, Y2K didn't live up to the hype after years and billions of dollars were spent on painstaking preparation.

Elon "joined" tesla 5 years after it started. Not because of his engineering brilliance, but because he wrote a check for more money than most of us will ever see.

This is not necessary because Trump & Musk said they would cut the fed budget by 33% while increasing defense spending to record levels without touching these things. So get that done - you run everything now. No excuses. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."
