Bill Burr: “There is so much fucking money in this country, and there’s so much work being done. If you work a full fucking week, you should be able to pay your fucking rent. You shouldn’t have to go and get another fucking job and still be struggling. It’s bad for the country.”

@ChiarchiaroTena @DutchRico @outbreakupdates We know from birds that H5N1 can spread through contact w/ infected feces. Likely mechanism: Cows transmit to nursing calves --> calves crap on the ground --> fecal traces spread by rain, hooves, etc. --> other adult cows graze on grass that has had contact w/infected waste.

@ScRadishes Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be caught reading the thing to find out -- just my brain looking for a way to laugh instead of cringing vicariously 🤣

(I want to say "Who *does* that?!", but alas, didn't someone else write a real-person-fic & get a movie deal out of it? 🙄)

@ScRadishes Hmm... that could lead to some funny head-canon hijinx... maybe the (author's-self-insert?) protagonist turns out to be a set of 7 clones, or an alien from a species with hive-mind, so the couldn't-be-a-beekeeper rockstar character ends up effectively dating a whole planet?

@TheMoCoSnow Does PGCPS already calling an early dismissal for tomorrow change the MoCo pencil prediction at all?

Our Imbolc feast: roast duck w/ blackberry-blood orange sauce, roast chicken (hey, there are 8 of us), colcannon -- vegetarian & w/beef bacon -- corn roasted w/ garlic-herb butter, rolls, carrots & onions roasted under the birds... and cheesecake.

[Brigid's Ember @BrigidsEmber]

Still grateful for @seananmcguire's cranberry sauce recipe, which my household & I love & which I make every Thanksgiving... and now it's also become the template for a blackberry-blood orange sauce to put on roast duck! 😋

@EricDLombardi @Always_Me_Jeff As one of the ones who didn't vote for this and does protest it (not that oligarchs care): I'm so sorry for my country's actions right now, and for the lasting sense of our unreliability & untrustworthiness as an ally to which they contribute.

[Brigid's Ember @BrigidsEmber]

@LolaaLibraSun Yay!!! 😘
