It can actually be super fun finding ways to efficiently make your own food.

One thing we started doing:
- make Greek yogurt from milk (way cheaper than store & really easy)
- use leftover whey liquid from yogurt to make biscuits and homemade bagels
- make own froyo from yogurt

Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch

[Jared Boggs @RicanSamurai]

This is not, in fact, a $28 plate in most restaurants in America

[Sean Olson @ManitobaSAO]

This is a $28 plate in most American restaurants and for some reason everyone’s big take away in all this is “pack your lunch” when that’s a lateral move in quality and a fractional move financially.

$15 plates shouldn’t be $28! THAT’S the real issue at hand here…

Justice Clarence Thomas took a blowtorch to the 8 Supreme Court Justices who established the despicable “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 that sanctioned racial segregation.

Justice Thomas says they acted with “cowardice.”

“It could not have taken my Court sixty years to know that Plessy was a hideous wrong and that racial segregation was grossly incompatible with our colorblind Constitution.

The Justices must have known it all along.

The right thing to do, as Justice Harlan spelled out in his lone dissent at the time, was obvious as it so often is.

What stood in the way was cowardice.

The Justices were afraid of the societal consequences.

They were afraid of coming under political fire.

They were afraid that, if they began to enforce a colorblind Constitution, they would have to address interracial marriage next.

So, for sixty disgraceful years, they made American children like me grow in racial caste system because it was easier to do nothing than do the right thing.”
------
Because the Justices used social science (the infamous doll study) to strike down racial segregation in schools in Brown, rather than on an equal protection clause basis, the Court delayed striking down anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, another disgraceful episode.

THAT is why Justice Thomas has criticized Brown. In his view, the Supreme Court should have struck down those disgraceful laws on equal protection grounds, echoing the Declaration’s promise that all men are created equal.

In Justice Thomas’s view, the Justices hid behind social science out of fear of reaffirming the simple truth that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights.

This is why Justice Thomas does not give a damn about judicial precedent. He has personally felt the lash of a barbaric ruling and there was no reason whatsoever to give it any deference. And he believes there are many cases like this.

Justice Thomas’s courage to take as his guiding light the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution without any regard to the barnacles that have attached to these documents is why he is our nation’s greatest Justice.

The speech is titled “Remarks on the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence,” delivered at @UTAustin on April 15, 2026. (link below to full speech)

@PaulinusOfTrier @cappuccinoo2000 Great article!

@MorosKostas Excellent read. I especially like the historical precedent you lay out in the brief

@NilesSankey @Grummz Just played through the playtest (and sent over a vod of me playing in feedback form)

I was definitely wanting a close-up mode like this, looks awesome! The more tactical room clearing segments were the strengths of the game IMO vs the more open combat arenas

To be clear the wildlife bridge is a good idea.

It's a no-brainer money saver. Either pay for the bridge or externalize the cost onto a bunch of different people's cars and lives over time. That's not to mention the loss of the animals lives.

Don't let rampant corruption and weaponized incompetentence trick you into thinking good ideas are bad.

These are the kinds of protest photos that instantly become historical record. Amir Balat lighting the bomb in one frame, and an NYPD officer mid-air over the fence in the next, already in pursuit.

Rarely do still images preserve both the act itself and the split-second response this clearly.
