The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

As @rbreich.bsky.social notes billionaires and their families own X, Paramount, CBS, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, the Washington Post, Amazon, MGM, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and New York Post, and could soon own Warner Bros and CNN

And they are all Trump supporters

"Liberal media" indeed

This shutdown deal does nothing to help those in our state struggling with the cost of healthcare. Half a million Ohioans will face skyrocketing premiums because once again Washington politicians have made a mess.

Used these Bolillos for breakfast sandwiches and French bread pizzas! Definitely super tasty! Thanks @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social for the great recipe in The Big Book of Bread! #breadsky #homebaker

It was super tasty and is already gone 😆

Been making a ton of baguettes - need to work on how evenly I split the dough, but the taste and texture are great! #homebaker #breadsky #baguette #sourdough
An overhead view shows three freshly baked baguettes resting side-by-side on a light wooden cutting board. The baguettes have a golden-brown crust with prominent, rustic scores along their length and a light dusting of flour and salt crystals. The cutting board is set on a dark, mottled gray countertop.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Made a chocolate chocolate chip loaf and a garlic and herb loaf! It had been a while and I thought there was a chance it wouldn’t turn out… #sourdough #homebaker #breadsky
A high-angle shot captures two loaves of sourdough bread on a black wire cooling rack, which is placed on a wooden countertop in front of a window. In the foreground, a light-colored garlic and herb loaf with an intricate, leaf-like scoring pattern on its crust is visible. In the background, a dark, round chocolate chip sourdough loaf with a prominent, deep score rests on the same cooling rack. The window behind them looks out onto a sunlit, grassy yard.

I made pull-apart focaccia rolls and it may be some of the best bread I’ve made to date! Will be getting back to sourdough soon enough 🫡 #bread #baking #castiron #homebaker
A homemade cheese and herb pull-apart bread, baked in a cast iron skillet, is presented on a wooden surface. The individual dough balls have a golden-brown crust, melted cheese, and a generous sprinkling of green herbs. A blue oven mitt with a "KitchenAid" label is placed on the lower left of the frame. A glass baking dish is partially visible in the top left corner

I think these got over proofed in the fridge - maybe could have done some better preshaping/shaping… one is a sun-dried tomato, basil, and mozzarella sourdough focaccia (which was all I could do to save it) and the other is a cheddar jalapeño sourdough! #homebaker #breadsky #sourdough #practice
A large, oval-shaped cheddar and jalapeño sourdough loaf sits on a silicone baking mat at the bottom of the frame. The loaf has several diagonal scores across its top, with pieces of baked cheese and jalapeño visible on the surface. In the background, on a black wire cooling rack, rests a round, dark-colored focaccia bread with a rustic, bumpy texture, likely a sun-dried tomato, basil, and mozzarella sourdough focaccia. Both are on a wooden table in front of a sunlit window. A close-up, overhead shot of a freshly baked cheddar and jalapeño sourdough loaf resting on a silicone baking mat. The loaf is oval-shaped and has a light brown, floured crust. Several deep, diagonal scores are visible on the surface, with a slice of jalapeño clearly embedded in the top center. Baked cheese and other pieces of jalapeño are visible poking out of the crust. Sunlight casts shadows, highlighting the texture of the bread.

Just a regular sourdough loaf, but I think I might have found my favorite scoring pattern! #homebaker #sourdough #breadsky
A round sourdough loaf with a pale, starch-dusted crust is centered on a black wire cooling rack, viewed from directly overhead. The loaf is adorned with an intricate, artistic scoring pattern. The left half features a design of various sizes of star-like shapes, while the right half has a band of pale, unscreened crust from the expansion score and then a wheat shaft pattern on its outer edge. The cooling rack sits on a wooden table, with a colorful, blurry window curtain visible in the top left corner.

It is entirely reckless to abandon this lifesaving research.

Our country is a global leader in vaccine research and disease prevention and this will seriously undermine our ability to respond to future health threats.

This makes us less safe.

Made sourdough bagels and a focaccia as backup if they didn’t turn out 😆 I definitely have some thoughts one what to do better next time but they’re still tasty! #homebaker #breadsky #sourdough
A top-down view captures a round, golden-brown focaccia bread, seasoned with rosemary and sea salt, resting in a black cast iron skillet at the bottom of the frame. Above the focaccia, a rectangular blue-rimmed plate with a decorative border holds several sourdough bagels, some plain and some topped with various seeds. In the upper right corner, a small teal vase displays a bouquet of bright yellow Black-Eyed Susan flowers with hints of green clover. All items are arranged on a light wooden table.

Double chocolate sourdough for the morning! It had a great rise and I can’t wait to have a slice!

#breadsky #homebaker #sourdough
A dark brown, round double chocolate sourdough loaf, sprinkled with what looks like salt crystals, sits on a black wire cooling rack. The loaf has several artistic scores on its top, including a longer cut down the center and two leaf-like designs on the right. Sunlight streams in from the right, highlighting the crust and casting a shadow of the cooling rack on the wooden table. In the blurred background, a chair back and a floral patterned curtain are visible. A dark, round double chocolate sourdough loaf with a rustic, heavily scored top rests on a black wire cooling rack, viewed from directly above. The scoring creates a deep cross pattern, revealing a slightly lighter interior of the crust. Specks of what appear to be salt crystals are visible on the surface. The cooling rack is on a wooden table, with sunlight casting shadows on the left side.

Made a marbled loaf of rye sourdough and I’m really happy with how it turned out!!! #homebaker #breadsky
A round loaf of marbled rye and pumpernickel bread sits centered on a black wire cooling rack, viewed from directly above. The top crust is heavily dusted with starch, revealing a rustic baked surface in the center, and a decorative pattern of small, cut-out star shapes around the edges. To the right, part of a rectangular, colorful tray with a floral pattern and what appear to be baked goods is visible on a wooden table. A marbled rye and pumpernickel loaf sliced in half with a visible swirl pattern are propped up on a wooden cutting board. The loaf has a dark, rustic crust, and the interior shows contrasting light and dark brown dough. The cutting board rests on a speckled, light brown countertop, and in the blurred background, a window with a floral patterned curtain is visible.
