Does he realize that 3/4 of his information consumption is causing him to misinterpret the 1/4 (old books) that might possibly inform him? Also 0 empathy + 0 imagination = 0 useful understanding of any information.

Why do they dress like twins when they're not twins?

Yes, and rusty needles are nothing to joke about.

Sheep live out in the rain. You can certainly knit in the rain. Buck up! I'm saying that as I sit comfortably inside the house, while the rain comes down outside. But still.

Pokemon! I remember long ago knitting one fingerless glove for my (now adult) son so he could look like Ash! He now tells me that Ruby and Sapphire were what he played. Thanks for your post; our world is both smaller and larger than any of us know...

I love following you. I follow for the political stuff, but then I see all this gaming (I think? I'm old!) and I understand all of the words, but none of the meaning of them put together, and I bask in the loveliness of a world that exists beyond my own! It really warms my heart! โค๏ธ

I've cancelled more replies than I've ever posted. So, awkward, yes.

And browse some patterns, buying any that tickle your fancy. A tickled fancy fixes so many things.

I'm Medicare-old but totally get it because I partook heavily in the "1950's/60's nostalgia craze" of the 1970's (when I was a teenager).

Civil rights are a kitchen-table issue.

It would be nice if headlines would read more like, "France responds to U.S. ambassador's improper and unprofessional behavior."

In America, we can't eradicate racism with law or policy. But we can make racism shameful again. Doing so is ultimately a political and cultural act, and it must be a conscious one. And it is an important part to restore some semblance of our liberal democracy.

A handknitted, light-colored small teddy bear in a stranded colorwork, dark green sweater with an orange, yellow, and light green motif on the yoke. They're standing, propped up against a stack of other handknitted projects.

Animals? Here's a bear in a seamless yoke sweater:

Here's my cynicism: it was probably because of something simple like the name had a hyphen in it, because all it takes for software to go hooey is one tiny thing...

At least it's a little voice. Time to turn up the music!

Okay, but why is my brain doing this? Also, now that I've identified where they are, I can see them sequentially in a fraction of a second - why is that?

Sourdough Discard Crackers Sourdough Discard Crackers are thin, crispy with that amazing tang that you can only get with real sourdough! Never throw away your sourdough discard again!

You have sourdough starter, right? Have you tried this recipe?

I make it with olive oil instead of butter and add chia seeds, plus, like, 2 Tablespoons of cumin (that's just me). Took me a while to get the hang of spreading it out on the baking sheet.
