Don't know if anyone pays any attention to YouTube "Shorts" (short videos) meant to compete with TikTok. Last time I checked (which was a few years ago), user uploaded "Shorts" were "remixable" and there was no way for the smaller independent content creators to disable that. I generally avoid YouTube Shorts and wish that there is a way to permanently suppress Shorts from being suggested to me by YouTube.

Fake news! Everybody knows that it's not a real Thai restaurant if it doesn't display a portrait of the King of Thailand.

No one would have guessed that Lindsey would go before Mitch. Condolences to the Graham family, and may he rest in peace.

@AdagioM Never realised the coffee machines did anything other than frothy hot or icy cold.

So sorry they’re surprised.

Interesting. I didn't realize the Seminoles were in Oklahoma too. Must have been trail of tears origin. I only recently found out that the Seminole nation owns Hard Rock Cafe.

Are they practicing for Trump's demise? Shenanigans to hold onto power.

@wtg thank you!

Blueberries, raspberries, and the yellow plums are now ripe in a friend’s yard. There will be JAM.

Zucchini pancakes today for lunch. Very nummy. Hopefully you can see the recipe in the pic: [image: 20260710-201902.jpg]

Another Vermont bread maker. Just north of Burlington. Wish I'd known when I went over to Burlington last fall, I might have looked for a loaf... which was probably sold out. Just amazing ... Link to video

They are the villain in the right to repair battle. Repairs being controlled mean those that grow the food would face higher costs. Timing is very important when growing and harvesting crops. A breakdown during crucial time and a wait for the dealer to repair would be disastrous.

Was raised in New Madrid County, Missouri. 200+ small quakes a year are measured there. I only felt the one that was a 3.2. The earthquake of 1811 was centered there. It rang church bells in Boston and made the Mississippi River run backwards.

The disability stuff is probably unfair. Unlike SSDI the fact that he can farm oysters doesn’t make him ineligible for VA disability. But the ‘prolier than thou’ stuff was always a ruse. He was an upper middle class kid who went to a very fancy private school until he got kicked out. His father bought his house for him. He told friendly press that he only makes about 5k a year farming oysters and his mom’s restaurant is his only business. He makes almost 5k a month on disability.

I'd say so. Might try it.
