New #TrumpTrial #Trump #legal 🧵starts HERE.

REMEMBER: I can’t/won’t reply while live-posting. Please use NFL (Not For Laffy) so I can skip your reply, but NO hashtag on that. Thx.

Picking up after my "mistrial" thread/ 1/...

All via McB for awhile:

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)

Forget sleek USBs! This clunky device was once the pinnacle of tech. Why does that look like a toaster?? 🤔

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?

Birthday dinner done. Pâté, roast duck with roast potatoes, gin and tonic pie. One of my better efforts. #cooking #birthday #food 🎂🦆🥔

Foreground: Duck and roasted potatoes in a plate. Background: a glass of red wine never to a wine bottle. The promise of hippie for the future.

So anyway, we're driving through Salinas on our way home, and we spotted this. I have… questions… (We did not stop and ask.)

If you're in the mood for some #schadenfreude, the 24 Dec episode of #ThisAmericanLife documents the infighting going on right now in the MI GOP leadership. Amazing to hear them come up with conspiracy theories about their own.

Via Zoe Tillman:

Hello from the DC federal courthouse, where #RudyGiuliani is waiting to get through security as jury selection is set to begin this a.m. to determine how much in damages he'll owe two #Georgia election workers who sued him for defamation.

And jury selection is just getting underway in Rudy Giuliani's damages trial -- Judge Beryl Howell, who was not amused that Giuliani was not in the courtroom at 9am when they were supposed to begin, is presiding #legal 1/…

I will sometimes get an entire album stuck in my head as a earworm. Some random song from the album always playing. It can go on for weeks. At present it's the original Broadway cast recording for Pajama Game. 3 weeks so far.

Any linguists out there? I'm interested in usage patterns for "scaredy cat" vs "fraidy cat". Surprisingly little information online (that I could find, anyways).

Tuna salad recipe doesn't call for pickle relish, but I put it in anyway. Because I'm a rebel. I live on the edge.
