Random thoughts throughout the day that seem to be very important at the time.

Good morning!

Anyone else make bacon in the oven?

Probably one of the easiest ways to make it.

Depending on how thick the slices are, it takes about 15 - 20 minutes at 375°F.

I buy bacon from Costco and slap it down on non-stick foil in a baking pan.

Pretty easy and doesn’t make a mess all over the stovetop.

I can't get enough of these videos of World Cup fans partying in the US, Mexico and Canada

@DisgracedProp @toyotabedzrock @_hamilton_matt Dear child we don't use that word around here. It's offensive and shows you lack class which I don't think you intend to do. If this is no problem, why the lies surrounding it? Why the story? Just made the situation bad for himself. Sloppy.

Every so often I think about how, in 2022, for $24B we could had "prototype vaccines ready for each of the 26 known viral families that cause human disease" so they can be deployed in 100 days if there was ever a need.

This effort was not funded. https://t.co/TJBuqp69Nn

This chart from the new @NPR poll starkly describes the erosion @POTUS has suffered from year to year.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board goes to town against Trump admin mass deportation policies.

Focuses on empirical study finding ICE arrests have decreased employment among U.S.-born men with less formal education.

"In other words, deporting law-abiding workers reduces job opportunities for American workers. ... This isn’t a novel finding, but it shows how deporting noncriminal immigrants is economically counterproductive."

@Phillyvol85 @TVietor08 Can you point to words in the quote about "being killed"?

@jamesetta_w Trump 45 ruined the media. Seriously — it’s measurable. Trump’s reading level is so bad that White House reporters reduced the reading level of their questions. They didn’t meaningfully improve this even though Biden significantly higher reading level of answers.

[Jonathan Reiner @JReinerMD]

Acting CDC Dir Jay Bhattacharya has delayed the publication of a report showing that last winter COVID-19 vaccines provided significant protection, cutting the risk of severe disease leading to hospitalization by about 50%. The vaccine was the greatest achievement of Pres Trump’s 1st admin, but HHS Sec Kennedy has alleged that it’s the deadliest vaccine ever made. The president should brag about this endlessly. It’s saved millions of lives over the last 6 years.

Iran Deal By Obama:
•Strait of Hormuz open for free
•Iran limits Uranium enrichment
•Iran agrees to make no nuclear weapons
•Iran allows Int'l inspectors to ensure compliance
•Inspectors confirm Iran's full compliance

Iran Ceasefire By Trump:
•Strait of Hormuz closed, only open for $2M Per Ship
•Iran makes no guarantee of limit on uranium enrichment
•Iran makes no guarantee of no nuclear weapons
•Iran makes no guarantee to allow Int'l inspectors

MAGA: Trump Playing 5D Chess! Art Of The Deal!!

Candidates get more support by moving to the middle of voters' ideological spectrum, but that may not mean the middle among elites. Democrats benefit by moderating most where the public is more conservative, Republicans where the public is more liberal

@nancyayoussef Please run your worst stock photo then for the crybaby. Maybe the one of him shooting another person with an arrow on Fox.

This billionaire thinks that asking people who make over a million dollars to pay an income tax is a "dystopian and malevolent scheme."

This should be a massive issue. Every American knows people suffering from these diseases. RFK and his clowns are literally yanking away hope from them. It's evil.

Minneapolis reached a low of -21°F and a wind chill of -45°F this morning! Ouch! Obviously I had to do the pasta experiment 😝

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

As a former McCain and Romney supporter who now:

-Wants to get rid of ICE
-Supports higher taxes
-Would vote for AOC
-Wants Nuremberg style trials for these goons

Radicalized is almost an understatement.

So in Trump’s America, if you disrespect law enforcement you deserve to die

This was a good bit but three days later it's too real.
