Hate is a tell.
There is no good person in this world who ever lived who needs you to hate anything or anybody.
Be aware when someone is trying to get you to hate something. They’re not doing it to help you. They’re doing it to use you.

Terrific words from Mr. Kasparov.

All right… when it’s Eclipse day, time to pick a side.
Is the Moon rude and pushy, or did the Sun need to be taken down a peg?

i believe it’s not appropriate to judge a book that way - just the way i was raised i guess
Read aBannedBook @RetiredLibrarianHave you ever bought a book because you liked the book cover? Maybe it looked interesting because of it? If so, did the book turn out like you expected or were you disappointed?07:11 PM - Apr 07, 2024

Wow what a game so far. Tough that Caitlin had that little lapse of attention on her dribble to give SC a buffer to their slim lead, but still, what a half.
These athletes are *good* and playing *hard*.

Hey puzzle-loving Spoutans (looking your way, #thursdaynightpuzzlegang )
The NYT editing team has given me a publication date for my crossword - Sunday, April 28. They’ve improved a lot with their editing and I’m excited to share the work.

This is of course true. Yet…
There’s a hill I may yet die on: “Apology” is overrated. “Acknowledgement” is the good stuff.
Refusal to apologize is refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing. Fake apologies that also avoid acknowledgment are every bit as common.
Apology overrated. Acknowledgement good.

Good on Rep. Swalwell to remind us that hypocrisy is a tell.
It’s how those who want to dominate over you demonstrate that they can.

Republican policies bring on the most pretzel-twisted questions.
For example, what is the best way to arm a frozen embryo? How do we get an AR-15 into those unformed hands?

I’m livid.
Claes Brameus @ClaesI learned today that this ruling isn't just a "blow to the reproductive industry ". They quoted the BIBLE in their ruling. Yes. A court ruled based on a religious text. Why isn't everyone livid?09:55 AM - Feb 21, 2024

They’re holding Smirnov in a facility in Pahrump, Nevada.
I’ve been to Pahrump.
Honestly, that may be punishment enough.

BUT!
I’ll pretend I have a droid and my droid is Artoo-DeTHREE and we’re having a great “beep-baloop-bleep-beep-baloop” conversation to pass the chore time.
That middle “bleep” was Artoo cussing. He’s got a fuckin’ potty mouth.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a baking fail. Here’s one!
This was last week, making a cake for a family birthday. I think I both underbaked the sponge and tried to de-pan them too soon. The result was cake layers that just don’t hold together.
It looks better than it was. #SpoutibleBakes

I promise these are two pictures of the same cake. The lighting got very different.
