Poached eggs, for when you kinda want soldiers but the last time it was too hot while trying to take the top off and you made a mess (big endian, naturally).

Two medium eggs, poached for slightly over 3min. Seeded sourdough from Tartine. Glenstal butter (salted, of course).
Coffee Angel Forsa Gala as americano.

In retrospect, I should have made my lazy hollandaise, but I was much too lazy.

3/🧵Hardly a day goes by without Trump’s telling us that no president has amassed a political movement like his or accomplished as much in such a short time or built such a rich economy or worked harder. Me, me, me. Best, best, best. He can’t find enough hours in the conventional workday to proclaim his glory adequately, so he has been known to spend the wee hours strutting on Truth Social, as he did from 9 p.m. to midnight on the first day of December, in a narcissistic meltdown of more than 150 posts.

About six hours later, as he reflected on what terrific fun that was, he awarded a superlative to the platform designed to accommodate his superlatives. “TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE BEST!” he wrote. “There is nothing even close!!!” Exclamation points are like pluses. You can’t have just one. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Trump #Huckster #bragging #Republicans #TrumpRegime #USPol

2/🧵When Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, gave a status report on his agency’s work in mid-October in the Oval Office, he effused: “These are the best numbers for fighting crime in U.S. history.” He used “historic” less than a minute later, and another “historic” less than a minute after that. As Shakespeare might have written, methinks he doth “historic” too much.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, giving a status report of his own at a cabinet meeting two weeks ago, pronounced: “It has been a historic year at the Department of War.” He added that “the spirit in our ranks” was “unprecedented” and that recruitment and retention were “at the most historic levels our country has ever seen.” Not just historic — most historic. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Trump #TrumpRegime #Republicans #bragging #boasting #character #USPol

Trump and his team exuberantly violate just about every precept of character that I was ever taught, and so it goes with moderation and humility. They’ve normalized bragging. Scratch that: They’ve fetishized it. It’s a naughtiness they allow themselves, a perk they accord themselves, a rite by which they identify themselves to one another as birds of a feather — peacocks, in this case. It’s a competition: My superlatives are bigger than yours. —Frank Bruni, NYTimes #Bragging #character #braggart #boasting #Trump #TrumpRegime #USPol

#Bragging on my cousin, Kristin Larkin! She's a brilliant woman, musician, writer, mom, etc. and she made it out to The BlueBird Cafe in Nashville, TN this week for their open mic.

Here she is doing her original song, "Tread Lightly", and it's a Doozy.

She and I both grew up covered in dirt and sticks, and while my forays into the forest have been stymied by fate and wheelchairs, she's still foraging away! Hope y'all enjoy :).

Today I did 1307m of climbing with the #bike !
A first for me. I will sleep well tonight!

Beautiful (but quite hard) ride, with some surprises and bike pushing.
I did 60km but my legs tell me it was 150 😆

Everytime #Trump did or said some right Thing, he #instantly "blows" it up, by adding some #dumb and #idiotic or #bragging #Arguments, may it be #historical or else. He is just dumb as Hell. He proves it every single Day. This is for all those, who think, the #Man is "smart". No, he isn't.

But here's what the #Mars2020 mission team have to say, at this time:

"Last week the #Perseverance Science Team were astonished by a strange rock comprised of hundreds of millimeter-sized spheres… and the team are now working hard to understand their origin."

A quotation from Molière

CLÉANTE: There’s true and false in piety, as in bravery,
   And just as those whose courage shines the most
   In battle, are the least inclined to boast,
   So those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly
   Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.
 
[Il est de faux dévots ainsi que de faux braves:
Et, comme on ne voit pas qu’où l’honneur les conduit
Les vrais braves soient ceux qui font beaucoup de bruit,
Les bons et vrais dévots, qu’on doit suivre à la trace,
Ne sont pas ceux aussi qui font tant de grimace.]

Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]
