Earlier tonight. Barrington St looking north near TUNS.
I was taking a pic of the new-to-me mural. Buddy was all smiles thinking I had the camera out for the car. It is a nice car and I have been watching a lot of 3rd Doctor lately (Think Bessie's predecessor in Spearhead From Space :) ) so okay, here, sharing it with you.
The government is alleging that Sam Bankman-Fried shared diary entries by Alameda CEO and former girlfriend Caroline Ellison with the NYT. They describe this as "selectively sharing" documents in an attempt to portray her as a "jilted lover who perpetrated these crimes alone".
The government is concerned this may taint the jury pool and intimidate other potential witnesses. They're seeking an order to limit his extrajudicial statements. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66631292/176/united-states-v-bankman-fried/
“Watching as professional crybabies like Ben Shapiro tried to get people to boycott “Barbie” because one of the actresses in the film (Hari Nef, who played Doctor Barbie) is trans, and seeing that has absolutely no effect on the film’s success demonstrates that the Bud Light and Target controversies and capitulations only became big deals because Bud Light and Target responded to the outrage as though it were genuine.”

This is my state and you can bet your ass I'll be voting for people to have the right to control their own damn bodies #uspol
I don’t trust polls — but can’t help liking these. Young people are increasingly progressive on climate, guns, inequality, LBGTQ rights and abortion.

I'm bad at this but here's a link to my book on how everything -- and I do mean everything -- gets from the factory to our front doors.
We should all be more aware of how this system works. Reporting it was certainly life-changing and worldview-altering for me.

The love that dare not speak ints name!
A plaque commemorates two men who "lived in a course of uninterrupted friendship for 60 years..." on the north wall of the sanctuary in St Stephen's Church, Canterbury.
The two Williams met when they were aged 16 and 20.
and furthermore, the prime minister who actually did fuck a pig did not do it due to a hostage situation, but as an initiation for a uni drinking society.
the other difference between the black mirror episode and the time the prime minister actually fucked a pig was that the pig david cameron actually fucked was dead.
You know all those weird mobile game ads with fake game footage in them? This Japanese game recreates a bunch of them in a series of bizarre minigames, out now on Steam/Switch. https://youtu.be/ixmG35AhgFI

I came across this old photo of a handsome tachinid fly that I never identified. I love the stepped geometric black and white pattern on his abdomen. He's sitting on a wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia).

Do you like to eat beans but find it annoying to patiently wait hours by the stove cooking them? Well did you know you can also bake them?
All you need is a casserole dish with a lid.
1. Cold soak your beans at least 12h.
2. Rinse your beans multiple times until the fogginess dissipates.
3. Add water until it covers the beans, place the lid, and bake them for at least 3h at 200°C or until one's preferred tenderness. Check at 1h intervals to make sure there is still enough water in the dish and add if needed.
Hint: place either a baking sheet directly below the dish or a level deeper. Most likely the pressure in the encasement will make the water rise and seep through the cracks. This will then land on what ever is below it. So if one wants to ease the cleaning process, this is one's best bet.
