@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social , you’re a chef. I’m in need of help. I ordered a cut of Wagyu flat iron steak online and I received this cast iron. I’m looking for cooking, serving, and how to eat instructions. I’m thinking molten iron lava cake dessert, but you’re the pro so idk.
Picture showing the not a flat iron steak but instead showing a shiny bronze colored cast iron pan with light reflecting off and into the bottom of the pan giving an appearance of spokes in the bronze wheel. And, like most wheels I cannot eat this cast iron pan.

DC Federal Grand Juries need to keep holding strong. Hold the line!!
Screen grab of last paragraph in wusa9.com’s article about the man charged with federal assault charges for sharing his sandwich with a Nazi. Dunn is not a Nazi. He shared the sandwich with aplomb and created the HERO sandwich. It says: “Prosecutors will have 30 days to seek a grand jury indictment for Dunn. In a hearing Thursday just before Dunn's, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office was forced to admit it had twice sought indictment of a D.C. woman this week on the exact same charge as Dunn — and twice been rejected. That woman, Sydney Reid, was accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an inmate transfer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).” Full story link: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc/dc-man-faces-serious-federal-assault-charge-after-throwing-subway-sub-at-federal-officer/65-df40e8da-febf-44ef-8ebd-4f3d190974be

Haha. My wife said almost the exact thing during a chat. I may have taken it places. For context, she hates dill pickles and anything they or their juice touches must be destroyed.
Text convo with wife about Hormel dill pickle flavored pepperoni: Me: Did an executive at Hormel get upset that pickles would get unpleasant during the pizza making and order staff to figure out a way to make his dill pickle and pepperoni pizza dreams come true? This shit is taking up space in my cluttered head and I need it out Wife: Burn it with fire Me: My head? That'll hurt but it might work. You've always looked out for me. I'll go to the stove and try. Wife: sent image of do not enter sign Me: I'm burning my head with Focus turned on. I'll see your message when the flames get put out. Me: Would have been better had it been sent right away, but...

I can’t even with this. Just, NO! Bad Hormel, bad.
Picture I took at the Qrogersafemeyer (QFC, Kroger, Safeway, Fred Meyer mash up. Still working on it) store: It’s a package of Hormel Pepperoni, now dill pickle flavored. You know this because the package has a nice picture of a dill pickle toothpicked onto a slice of pepperoni that sits upon a slice of white bread. Just bread, pepperoni and a dill pickle sitting there to tempt you. You can almost taste the nausea. Bravo Hormel!

Found a new account that is totally worth it. Also, I just discovered that the author of this Equal Justice Society piece is the author of one of the children’s book we use to teach our kids about diversity and acceptance.
Screen grab of quote from @mtylerwrites.bsky.social children’s book “The Skin You Live In” “ And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our wonderful hues.. We all make a beauty so wonderfully true. We are special and different, and just the same, too! So whenever you look at your beautiful skin, from your wiggling toes to your giggling grin... Think how lucky you are that the skin you live in, so beautifully holds the "You" who's within.” Michael Tyler, The Skin You Live In

You just reminded me of a discussion I read over at TPGTA about ABA and how PE is starting to do chatbot ABA. Horrific! You can read the whole thing here: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/04/the-...
Screen grab of discussion found at https://thinkingautismguide.com/2025/04/the-troubled-history-of-aba-therapy-talking-with-author-anne-borden-king.html TPGA: Oh my God. King: I think what's happening with that is that they are cheapening a system that was already problematic, and everybody's happy because they're paying less. That's the deal that's happening. They're even now downloading ABA to robots and having a kid sit in a room with a talking robot, because it's cheaper. TPGA: Part of me wonders how many of our kids might actually figure out how to game the robot and make it into something that would work for them. laughter] King: It's so dystopian and horrible. TPGA: I think it's crucial for people to understand how problematic ABA therapy is and how it doesn't actually help our children. It traumatizes them. It continues to traumatize them if they're older and they're still in day programs and group settings. ABA continues to be a problem for people like my autistic son, who's 24, and is a one-to-one guy. He aged out of his school program and services at 22. He's been home for two years. I could not find a single day program for him that would do one-to-one support that wasn't ABA-based. I will say that I also have the ability and the good fortune to sti home with him and hire people for him, but I have

TIL that the fax machine dates back to the middle 1800s.
Screen grab of the Wikipedia on drum scanners. The highlighted part states “The first working fax machine, invented by the English physicist Frederick Bakewell in 1847, was in essence an early drum scanner.”

I’m thinking a birding dictionary might give me a deeper appreciation for the dumb birds field guide. Might have to check this out.
Photograph of the front cover to the book “The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America” by Matt Kracht The cover has a blue binder with the title in black typeface against an off white cover. Below the title and going across the cover diagonally is a drawing of a wire or branch with the low side of this scribbled object on the left or binder side, and the high side of said object being on the right or page opening side. A bird is hanging upside down on this line/branch/scribbled object. The birds tummy or up side is mostly white with some brown in the region poop comes out, and the downside shows mostly blue feathers tapering to black at the top of their head. The bird has a label naming it the “White-breasted Butt Nugget”

All you need to know about this statement is this:
Screen capture of a section of the UAW statement where I highlighted the words “COULD BE” in yellow highlighter. The statement reads: BRINGING BACK THOUSANDS OF GOOD, UNION AUTO JOBS With these tariffs, thousands of good-paying blue collar auto jobs could be brought back to working-class communities across the United States within a matter of months, simply by adding additional shifts or lines in a number of underutilized auto plants. Right now, thousands of autoworkers are laid off at Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis following recent decisions by auto executives to ship jobs to Mexico. Across a dozen Big Three auto plants that have seen major declines, production has fallen by 2 million units per year in the past decade, while millions of vehicles sold here are made with low-wage, high-exploitation labor abroad. That means auto companies that have made record profits get to drive wages down further for both Mexican and U.S. workers while Wall Street and

Not sure they’re taking him seriously at all. From the article:
Screen shot from the above linked Reuters article so this can fit in one post. I’m lazy and do not want to break it into multiple posts. The part of the article I am posting states: "I'm spending a lot of time talking to CEOs who are really trying to understand the consequence of some of this," said Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon at conference in Australia. "Until there's more certainty, we have a little bit more runway time. I think we're going to live with a slightly higher level of volatility. But I think he (Trump) has a purposeful direction that he's pursuing, and we should take him at his word that he's going to pursue that direction."

But it’s Fancy!!
Image of a cat food can. The label has an ombré color gradient that starts pink at the bottom and transitions to white in the middle of the label and then to chartreuse green at top. On the left side of the label is a white kitten with blue eyes (kinda racist vibes here purina). With “fancy feast” written in old timey calligraphy. The sub text in block print below that says “tender turkey feast” and specifies kitten below food title.

Right, it’s exhausting! Right after the election Coretta King posted this advice:
Screenshot of a FB or Instagram or maybe BSKY post. Text: #NEVERSAYHISNAME Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott King posted this advice as the next 6 months are going to "get real". 1. Don't use his name; EVER (45 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work. 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow: 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration," or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves.

Mines more a bag. A leaking sagging bag. That Bsky thinks is written in Tagalog
Screen capture of mid writing of comment when a screen pops up inquiring if I’m writing in Tagalog. Image is comment before I added the Tagalog sentence showing the cursor at the end of sagging bag Bottom of scre has a text popup asking? “Are you writing in Tagalog?” With a Yes, and no No, option to press on the left. I’m not sure what this app thinks of me. But my writing is definitely questionable and maybe foreign to USA readers. Please smash head against wall if you understand me.

Gotta love packaged food cooking instructions that call out your cooking skills in the instructions:

“Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on your cooking skills”
Picture of the how to eat a pupusa instructions from the back of a frozen bag of Xinca loroco and cheese frozen pupusas. Photo text: HOW TO EAT A PUPUSA .... Feel free to enjoy your pupusa by eating it however you'd like! But, if you'd like to try it the traditional way, we suggest adding some pickled cabbage (known in El Salvador as curtido) and a bit of mild salsa. Cooking times and temperatures may vary based on your cooking skills, equipment, and preferences. Do not Microwave.

I did the thing and placed it the ballot box. I rejected all fascists and assholes (because I care).
Picture of my “I voted” sticker that arrived with my ballot. The top of the sticker paper has the text “Wear and share!” with a heart on both sides of the text with left side red and right side blue. The sticker is mostly red and blue hues with top 1/3 being a representation of Seattle and the lower 1/3 being Washington stat with a large river with a waterfall with mountains in the distance and tree all over the land. The near side of the river shows a farm and a few homes with trees of red, blue, and tan. There is some white scattered throughout: the sky above Seattle and above the mountains, in the river at bottom of waterfall, and the “I VOTED” text being large white text on top of the middle third of parallel lines on a diagonal with right side angled higher. The lines start blue on the bottom and changes shades moving up towards the Seattle third. They reach a deep dark blue at the middle of the sticker and transition to dark red the changes shade to a light pick by the time it reaches the bottom of Seattle.

The Economist saw it cuming first.
Cover of this last weeks The Economist titled “The Trumpification of American Policy” with a giant erect red tie splitting the title between the words Trumpification and of. The tie is taking the place of the Washington Monument and is taller than the monument. The base is the knot, which appears to be a double or full Windsor representing the balls and taint with the red penis, er tie, pointing straight up coming to a fine red point, like a baboon enjoying their sunny day at the zoo; looking to sploosh all over Washington and the pools.
