24 hour dry brine + a basket-style air fryer (45 minutes breast-side down at 350Β°, flip 15 min at 400Β°) perfect every time for a 3.5-4# bird

I was skeptical of the air fryer, but now I’m a total convert

December 2025 through February 2026 was the 2nd warmest winter on record for the Contiguous U.S. according to Prism climate data. The widespread record to near record warmth in the west easily outweighed the cool temps in the east. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

New poll: Voters would rather pause deportations than pay more for groceries, housing Trump's State of the Union address was largely about crime and immigration. Voters in our poll want to hear less about immigration policy and more about how he's going to bring down prices

New poll: 42% of adults say they would spend a hypothetical $75 billion surplus on reducing housing, health care, & food costs, vs 5% who say immigration enforcement.

Voters also say they'd want to pause Trump's deportations if they were causing inflation.

Exactly.

GenAI literally CANNOT apologize to you. It can barely β€œapologize.” It cannot think. It is not sentient. It does not feel or understand. It is not β€œglad” when you catch its mistakes or β€œcall it out” on its bullshit.

PEOPLE.

Safety and alignment staff at Meta watched as AI speedrun deleted her inbox despite her repeated and emphatic instructions that it not do so.

When it was done, the AI responded:

β€œYou're right to be upset… OK. That was wrong - it directly broke the rule you'd set. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”

Wanted to make zucchini muffins. Needed to make them gf/low histamine (in accordance with my current restriction listβ€”histamine bs is hard. YMMV.)

Started with a friend’s recipe, then made modifications β€” and it worked! I’m getting better at making things I can eat!
