today's #cooking projects may include two firsts: homemade pigs in a blanket (with my own dough and everything) as well as airfried crabless crab rangoons (which is going to be filled with primarily just cream #cheese and i have zero problem with that).

this is of course another endeavor brought to you by the good people at Using Up Whatever Ingredients I Got In The Fridge and Hey What's This In My Cupboard.

Hi! And thanks for joining me on this wild ride.

My colleague Paul Farhi wrote up the news on journalists' Twitter suspensions last night: https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/12/15/twitter-journalists-suspended-musk/

Twitter's owner joined us briefly on Twitter Spaces before vanishing into the night: https://twitter.com/ForeverEversley/status/1603612770892918784.

More news this morning from @rachellerman on the European Union's response: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/12/16/musk-journalists-suspension-europe-backlash/

My last two Washington Post stories on Elon Musk before Twitter suspended me and other journalists discussed his flirtation with QAnon and the public data about his private jet:

my absolute favorite flat earth "explanation" for what really happened to the #dinosaurs.

@ScottSoCal Another thing that I do is set up a separate "Home List" and switch back and forth between the standard Home screen or even have them both up at the same time as Pinned Lists. You can easily move folks on or off your home list whenever you want to clean up your incoming messages.

This helps me to be more engaged with my core group of folks that I like to carry on conversations with; and yet still keep in touch with everyone I'm following.

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY

As much as I don't like Scarborough, I did get a laugh out of this montage. It is pitch perfect for what a former Prez is restoring to. Wringing more $$ from his culty rubes.

NFT trading cards. Wow.

I know we always say "there is no bottom" but even we're surprised at the new and innovating ways #Trump finds to be the most pathetic person on the planet.

Why buy any digital NFT nonsense when you can actually see me live and on stage in London, from Jan-Apr next year?

Fictional situation.

Sitting at a lesbian biker bar. Patron, "woah, that's quite a scar you have down your breast there. Fighting TERFS, Nazis?"

I chug my ice cold water and slam it down. "Baby kittens."

Major Tom?

When Muskrat said comedy was gonna be legal again, I didn't think he was gonna volunteer to be the butt of the joke.

Pro-Elon trolls are joining the #TwitterMigration so here's your regular reminder to block and report them immediately. If a server continuously fails to take action against abuse, block that server and demand your instance admin do the same.

Here, we're the content moderation. I've got major respect for the folks who built this place because, while the rest of us were complaining over on the #birdsite, they were successfully de-federating Gab.

Let's continue this proud #Fediverse tradition.

Well, Tim. You actually are not going to prison because of the orange stain. You are going to prison because of yourself; because of your own personal toxicity and bad decision making. You own it, babe.

Every day I wake up and want to REMIND you: Social Security is OUR money. Never forget this!

Musings on growing up as an #AltBlackGirl

I listened to mostly rock and new wave music growing up. It drove me crazy when my family would make fun of my for listening to yt music. Like, you sent me to a school that I was 1/3 of the black student population, you let me watch way too much Mtv (this was back when they actually played music all day kids), & y'all don't play music at home. Fuck did you think was gonna happen?

White people didn't invent nor do they own rock music (Country music neither actually). Which is why my #sotd for #BlackFriday is brought to you by Bad Brains.
