Counsel approaches, brief sidebar

"Binoculars down."

As I mentioned, courtroom rules strictly enforced. During sidebar, court security doesn't allow reporters to use binoculars they had brought to see exhibits and facial expressions better

If people would just send me pictures of their homemade bread, I would both appreciate it, and be full of bread lust.

Before jumping to conclusions, wait for facts. And FFS, please don't wish death on people, at least not in my feed. Thank you.

CNN: "Investigators are now fanning out to collect the flyers the unknown man threw into the air, another senior law enforcement official. A CNN team on the ground observed one of the flyers. It said "NYU is a mob front" and had various allegations of wrongdoings against the school"

For those in the back, a reminder:

Yes, we have a place to stay in Canada. We've been leasing a townhouse there for nearly 2 years.

No, we haven't found a place to buy yet. We've only just begun to look (when we were there last week, our agent showed us 6 houses/townhomes just to get a feel for what we needed). Plus, we missed out on 2 places that sold before we could tour them.

That's where we are as of today.

We move at the end of May.

🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 “Exceeded his authority..,”

“Lawyers for #Trump have filed another appeal in the hush money/interference case to challenge the trial’s judge’s order denying him from arguing he has presidential immunity.

Trump’s attorneys also challenging Judge Juan Merchan’s “refusal” to recuse himself from the trial and a previous ruling related to how dockets are made publicly.” #legal

As my mouth is absolutely on fire and delighted from my latest takeout from the local #Sichuan restaurant, I find myself wanting to learn #cooking in this style.

Anyone have English language YouTube channels or recipe books to recommend? They should assume I have access to Asian groceries, rather than trying to sub ingredients. I know of Souped Up, who seems to do a variety of styles. But no one else.

Would love suggestions or boosts!

How I make ‘half boiled eggs’ (skip if you don’t love runny eggs)

This is a typical breakfast food from Singapore / Malaysia / Thailand (probably more SE Asian countries too)

Trump now owns the RNC. The GOP Fascist Party is in full swing.

Via NYT—Donald #Trump will attend a high-dollar fund-raising dinner in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday that is expected to raise at least $25 million for a new joint fund-raising account for Trump’s presidential campaign, the #RNC and roughly 40 state parties.

You guys sure love to speculate.

We don't know a lot. Speculation may be fun (not for me though), but rarely accurate.

I prefer to stick to facts. It's really more rewarding.

"It's spelled 'Fani,' like your ass" -- #Trump on #FaniWillis

Me: He went on for some time, mocking the pronunciation of her name.

But there was more. He went on to say "Mr. and Mrs. Wade. Which his wife did not appreciate..."

How about a gag order for him, Judge?

Then he went off on how he got "more votes than any sitting president in history."

Except both Hillary and Biden got more votes than he did. Millions more.

Sen. Mitch #McConnell’s legacy will be that he purposefully undermined America’s first Black president, he broke the Supreme Court, he helped elect a fascist President, and he abetted up an insurrection on American soil.

Aladdin (disguised as Prince Ali) tries to coax Jasmine onto the magic carpet by asking "Do you trust me?" Jasmine recognizes that question from her adventure in the market, and starts to suspect funny business. (We know this is true from the tone of voice in her answer.) So why does she say she trusts him, when she clearly doesn't?

I saw a headline along the lines of “Move over kale. There's another vegetable with fewer calories.” Like, who is out there thinking, “I gotta lay off the kale, it's really going to my thighs!”

Ugly looking. The cheese looks wrong somehow. Time to taste.

Tastes good. But the crust is too bready/crumbly.

I need to find a better recipe.
