I'm normally a scratch baker but after being out of town last week I needed something quick

Doctored it up a little with a spoonful of sour cream in the batter 👌

A thing that's been driving me up the wall lately is when I book a plane ticket and the airline subsequently changes the time of the flight. Happens all the time now. Sometimes the new time doesn't work for me at all and I have to redo the whole trip. This is going to make me become the Joker

Today’s betterbraddock.org comments so far are absolute gold.

Could email subscribers let me know if you got this issue in your inbox this morning? Our open rate is much lower than usual - between that and the broken link preview, I'm wondering if there's a technical issue with Ghost

(Also re: @alexandriabrief.com's issues yesterday)

If I had a nickel for every time I went on vacation and came home to learn that a major home appliance had broken while I was gone, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Good morning Alexandria! @oconnell.bsky.social and I heard everyone is looking for bad takes this morning so here's a whole newsletter full of them!

P.S. Ghost link previews don't seem to be working but the link itself seems to work ok?

Being targeted by the algorithm with perimenopause related ads is one thing but today I started getting ads for retirement homes

The contrast between the hope and inspiration of #ArtemisII and the apocalyptic war criminal countdown from the White House feels like it’s tearing my brain in two

Good morning. I heard we could all use a timeline cleanse.

I'm sorry all the bike lane posts but it's hard to overstate how upsetting it is to be surrounded by people who have all put up signs that basically say "I don't care if you get hit by a car"

Anyway I will try to post less, it was just very jarring upon post-vacation re-entry today

Oh my god there are twice as many anti-bike lane signs on my street as when I left I would like to re-exit the country
