it's a weird emotion when somebody goes "doesn't this just shake you to your core and rewrite your dna and change who you are as a person" and your honest experience of it was that it was ok

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

Yes, such a claim makes him look like a small-minded piece of shit. To us. But we still shouldn't help Musk create revisionist history.

Musk bought Twitter because he fucked around and found out. He wanted to fuck with Twitter's stock price by feigning interest in buying it. Since that's illegal, he was then cornered into actually buying it for an insanely inflated price.

He's a transphobe. He's a bad father. But he's also a fucking idiot.

This. Please remember that he committed blatant market manipulation by not disclosing that he owned shares of Twitter when he was fucking with the stock market. The SEC was watching him very closely already, and so when the cost became more than what the entire company was worth, he had no choice. Remember when he had his gaggle of lawyers try to get him out of it by saying Twitter didn't disclose all of the information? That wasn't Twitter, it was him trying desperately to get out of a purchase he didn't want in the first place.

I love being a nobody on here because I could make one of those ‘if this gets ‘x’ amount of notes I’ll go and actually work on my original works’ and it wouldn’t get near the goal

Ok let's define that x, let's say, 1k notes?

As something with an 80k post and a 15k post on this website I must say that a post getting 1k notes is regrettably something that could happen to me

So if we are going to do it, then it’s gotta be at least 10k

10k by the end of June and I’ll go and write my gay faerie the horrors of pollution book

the city where we live doesn't allow public barbecues so my brother fucking welded a grill to a handcart and now hosts "chill and grill sessions" where he sends all his friends his live location so they can hunt him down on their bikes with sausages in their backpacks while he carts it around evading the police like some sort of barbecue vigilante, grilling on the run. i have never been prouder of him

According to the company’s website, “Baking Pitchfest 2024” offers a product edition geared toward baking brands founded and owned by people of color across the U.S., and a bakery edition, which focuses on people of color-owned bakeries in the Northeast and Washington state. “Half mentorship, half competition, Baking Pitchfest is an accelerator program designed to foster greater inclusivity and creativity in the baking world by providing equitable opportunities for People of Color entrepreneurs,” the website states, adding that winners will receive financial support, mentorship, and exposure. But the initiative has generated outrage amongst conservatives online, who have blasted the competition eligibility rules as discriminatory against white people.
One X user critical of King Arthur Baking’s contest posted an email she received from the company in response to her complaining. “Helping build joyful, equitable communities that celebrate diversity is an important part of who we are as a company,” the email states, later adding: “We love baking with anyone and everyone. Our simple expectation is that everyone show respect for one another.”

Time to buy more King Arthur Flour!

if i remember correctly, kung arthur has information on their website about navigating baking with brain fog and chronic fatigue, so if you wanna support them but are disabled like myself they have the resources to help you

edit: i did remember correctly (surprisingly)! here's the link

The King Arthur Flour website is AMAZING and has never steered me wrong. Most of what I know about baking bread comes from there. Also iirc they're an employee owned company? Also also their burger bun recipes absolutely slaps

They used to be on twitter and really seemed to walk the walk consistently. I know companies can never be perfect, but my interactions with this one has been consistently positive.

If memory serves @copperbadge is a fan of King Arthur and makes his pizza with it often.

Oh, exclusively. I don't buy other flour if I can get King Arthur, to the point I've ordered it off their website when the local stores weren't keeping it in stock. I wish they sold it in bulk, because I generally buy ten pounds at a time anyway.

It actually surprised me how much the quality of my baking and pasta doughs improved when I started using King Arthur. It's more expensive than most other brands so it was only in the last few years that I felt comfortable dropping that much cash on flour, but using the right kind and quality of flour really improved my cooking.

Even more than that though, I use King Arthur recipes. When you see photos of my pizzas, it's their Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza dough recipe I'm using, with a 50/50 mix of their bread and pizza flour. It's reached the point where if I want to cook something that involves flour, I check King Arthur first -- for example their cheesecake recipe was a really good, really basic recipe for my first try at cheesecake in a while.

If you have access to a local mill, like Barton Springs Mill in Texas, it's good to at least give it a spin, to support a local business and buy good grain. But King Arthur is the national equivalent of a Local Mill and while pricey it's not unreasonable, so yeah I'm a big fan.
