I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.
If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

This is how I am with recipes - I have so many from people I love, and it’s a delight to think of them while I make their recipe. An unanticipated moment of softness and connection through something mundane. Such a gift.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

A secret apartment to escape to where NO ONE could talk at her or need anything from her. No having to find things that are in plain sight.
(This was also the “one bedroom” apartment that had the bedroom separated from the living room by a wall made of frame and two sheets of beadboard. They cut a spot in the wall for the baseboard heater to go through.)
I lived in an apartment that had carpet in both the kitchen and the bathroom, and that carpet had been there for at LEAST 25 years. And after the water heater died, wetly and mold-ily, the landlady said, “oh, there’s cement underneath, so I don’t have to replace the carpet! Great!”

Sam Altman @sama · 21h I'd like to answer questions about our work with the DoW and our thinking over the past few days. Please AMA. melissa “cancelled student debt” byrne @mcbyrne · 20h Will you turn off the tool if they violate the rules? Sam Altman @sama Yes, we will turn it off in that very unlikely event, but we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law and policy. What we won't do is turn it off because we disagree with a particular (legal military) decision. We trust their authority
"we believe the U.S. government is an institution that does its best to follow law" not a history buff I take it

Good LORD. This house has no soul, no personality, no taste, and the cold, too-bright vibes of a police interrogation room. I hope the new owners gut it and start fresh.

Today is the first day of Ramadan, the first day of Adar, Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras.
This means that for one reason or another, the majority of humans on the planet have a reason to eat fried food, and that is beautiful.
This year I am making myself a semlor-inspired birthday cake at the weekend - Samin Nosrat’s almond cardamom cake, which I will torte and fill with whipped cream!
