Haven't tried this recipe, but... it's typical of the kinds of treasures you find in here, LOL...

"....But she is still worried about the potential impact of AI. When she recently did a Google search for “Italian meatballs”, Familystyle Food appeared as the top result. Then she switched to AI Mode. There, she found the recipe had been Frankensteined – or “synthesized” as Gemini put it – into a new recipe with nine other sources (including Sip and Feast and a Washington Post recipe for Greek meatballs). The AI-generated recipe was little more than a list of ingredients and six basic steps with none of the details that make Tedesco’s recipe unique...."

The core of this is: billionaires believe your net worth determines your worth as a person. Thus, if you have no net worth, you have no worth as a person. Plus, they also believe government is only as good as it puts money in their (own) pocket, and any expenditures of government which do not personally benefit them, is "waste". This is just the embodiment of that philosophy when they are running government. (it us to be "of the people, for the people", it's now "of the billionaires, for the billionaires ONLY")

Yes, yes, the billionaires want you to starve, deliberately.

Seriously, antivaxxers are going to bring back rabies among US pets. Soon you'll have to ask if someone has vaccinated their cute puppy for rabies before petting them!!

Vaccine hesitancy is on the rise among pet owners. Here are answers to some common questions about animal vaccines."

LOL I guess there is no news about the radioactive container ship today. Is this the origin story of Admiral Ackbar? #radioactiveshrimp

Meanwhile, in frog hat project land. #sewing #froghat #hat

Interesting, someone bought all the rights to those sewing patterns and spun it out as a new company. (for a mere $2.25 million)

There's an outbreak of deadly fettucine
I don't know what to do
It's pasta time to get this under control
It's evil, through and through

The noodles have taken over
And have been killing people left and right
Tomato sauce has joined it
And the mess is quite a fright

Watch out for the Alfredo
It will kill you til your dead
Sneak up on you without warning
And kill you in your bed

The deadly fettucine oubreak
must be stopped at all cost
The consequences will be extremely dire
Or everything will be lost

So remember toss that fettucine
With a little broccoli and pesto sauce and wine
Keep it from growing stronger
And then the world will be fine

September 15, 1933 (Nazi Germany)

"First raids against 'vagrants'

First raids against 'vagrants' (the term 'vagrants' being used loosely, to include anyone the authorities are suspicious of). Thousands are arrested, although most are soon released. Welfare authorities tighten restrictions against 'vagrants'. 'Disorderly vagrants' can be arrested, assigned to compulsory labour schemes, or incarcerated.
