Two non-vegetable “salads” at every holiday gathering in my childhood in southern Illinois in the '80s were Waldorf Salad and Watergate Salad.

Elementary school teacher here. 95% of “he hit me” tattles are followed up with, “Only because he hit me first!”

Based on what we learned in the very short window when Twitter let people see location information about specific accounts, I think we can trace a lot of Trump’s “grassroots” support back to Russia.

Bernadette Banner does historical (largely Victorian) sewing techniques and patterns but sometimes branches out into health and beauty recipes as well.

Abby Cox does historical fashion on a broader scale and sometimes has content about other historical trends or myths that she encounters in her research.

Townsends has really interesting content, but I find one of the hosts to be a bit rambly.

I like the way Legal Eagle has branched out and invited other attorneys to help keep tabs on … gestures broadly.

Yes! Both are interesting and well researched.

Apparently not.

I had some friends in undergrad who tried several of the recipes, and they said it was a huge waste of time. (These guys were honors students in science majors, so I wouldn’t chalk it up to user error in all cases.)

Kentucky has had a Democratic governor since he beat the carpetbagger Republican incumbent during Trump’s first term.

But the General Assembly is overwhelmingly Republican (86% in the senate, 80% in the house), so his effectiveness is limited.

The article indicates that there’s a monthly fee for the “service.” So it’s not a passive income situation.

Oh, yeah, I had to learn how to block communities pretty quickly when I arrived. It’s been so long that I had almost forgotten about that process.

My experience with Tumblr was largely the same. My list of filtered tags there is rather long.

Lemmy currently feels a lot like reddit used to in the beginning, when posts came from real people who just wanted to share ideas about things they cared about. I’d rather keep it as is than see it grow into the bloated bot farm of garbage and advertising that reddit has become.

Are you my mom?

If you’re not acting on behalf of a government or its military, I think it’s usually considered terrorism instead of a war crime.

Jericho was fantastic. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Don’t forget hate-watching the late-night shows.

You can tell when he learns a new word because he’s like a first-grader and wants to tell everyone the “new” thing he just found out about.

Groceries, affordability, magnets … The list of basic concepts he’s learning at 79 is kind of shocking.

Also, forensic lab results come back in less than two months (which appeared to be the national average a couple of years ago).

Except that Meta has already admitted that it is using AI bot accounts to “drive engagement.”

After an outcry from real users, Meta said it had removed some AI bot accounts. But nothing else they said indicated that the experiment is over.

Eventually, social media is going to be nothing but company-generated AI bots, “bot farms” run by humans in developing countries, and (hopefully) a small number of actual users who can’t tell the difference between those things and real people.

At most, my stomach is a funeral home.

If you eat meat and it remains permanently in your body, please seek medical attention.
