Okay #blind community. I need help something. Recommendations for a kitchen thermometer that can be connected to an accessible app. I seem to recall iGrill brand used to have an accessible app. Any others?

I used to make videos about books and language learning, but I wasn't really in the right headspace for it these past couple of years. But recently I've been wanting to pick up my camera again; I just love documenting things in my daily life that make me happy and talking about books!

Before supper last night, I whipped up a chocolate cake, because it's CHOCOLATE CAKE… and we didn't have any around.

This breaks every rule in the book, but I'm having lunch cake today too.

My Wife: Now don't eat all of the cake at once

Me: sorry I'm driving and you're breaking up

My Wife: I'm right here in the passenger seat!

I think my dog is a Gumby/Lab mix. Maybe I should have named him Gumby. Then when someone asks his name , I could say “He’s Gumby dammit!”

Don’t ask me who Gumby is, you young whippersnapper. Also don’t ask me what whippersnapper means.

Good news today: A coalition of 25 state governors announced a major push to reach 20M deployed heat pumps by 2030 -would represent a quadrupling of the number of heat pumps installed in 2020. Heat pumps are energy efficient replacements for furnaces & ACs -use electricity to transfer heat, as opposed to generate heat & can either heat a building when it is cold outside or cool a building when it is hot outside.

Good morning fediverse :)

Journalism today...

What does disgust for disabled people look like in its purest, most densely crystallized form, like a black diamond of hatred spat out by one of the most twisted, hollowed-out, f*cked-up criminals in US history? Imagine supporting this man and calling yourself a "patriot," a "Christian," or even a "human being"? https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/general-mark-milley-trump-coup/675375/

I love the weird, overly annunciated voice people use when responding to automated customer service voice prompts. I just walked by a colleague's office (who is clearly trying to get into his bank account via phone) and heard him practically bellow:

"LOG IN"

(Ten seconds of silence)

"CHECK-KING ACCOUNT"

(Another ten seconds of silence)

"YES"

(silence)

"CUSS-TUH-MER SER-VICE"

It's 'person with allism' actually.

It now looks like, per another brilliant report by ProPublica, that our dear Justice Clarence Thomas also participated in Koch Network donor events. Is there no end to his corruption and influence peddling? Don’t answer that, I know the answer.

MAGA IS TO BLAME FOR
A SHUTDOWN.
PERIOD.

“K-911. What’s your emergency?”
“THERE’S A SQUIRREL!”
“Please calm down, sir. Where is it?”
“IN THE TREE ACROSS THE STREET!”
“Have you tried barking at it?”
“YES! DUH!! I’M NOT AN IDIOT!!!”
“Okay, put down the phone and try again now, I’ll stay on the line.”
