NYT: must drop out bc he can't handle 's lies.

Also NYT: The lies that we, the journalists whose job it is, instead call "boisterous."

It's just confession after confession from NYT, about their own rank failures to do what they demand of Biden.

Greg Mitchell:

Disgraceful NYT headline: Trump merely "boisterous." Yesterday they said "Blustery." They do it every day.

@GottaLaff @lolgop I don’t understand why people still subscribe and pay attention to the NYT. They have been closet right wing wankers for years.

@MichelleRNCHPN @GottaLaff Yes, the fact is Americans have some of the shortest memories on the planet. A month from now the very few voters who actually paid attention to the debate will have completely forgotten about this. Hell, most people look back on 2020 now as “that quaint time we had to stay home from work and bake bread.”

You could’ve fooled me!

“Active shooter incidents in the U.S. declined by 4% from 2022 to 2023, according to new statistics released by the FBI on Monday..48..compared to 50 in 2022

Last year also saw the number of those killed decrease from 313 in 2022 to 244 in 2023, according to the report. The shooters were largely male” #GunViolence

@raynetoday @GottaLaff It should also be noted that the dip at the end of that graph is entirely due to the pandemic year 2020. Without that, the trend line would still be up.

@Nonilex We don’t want “several GOP members “! Name them you cowards. Who were they? What districts do they represent? Why haven’t they been confronted and questioned by journalists about their actions. You, the media, are failing all of us with your cowardice.

Just for shits and giggles, someone like JaredEMoskowitz
should demand a hearing on why the FBI is so inept that--according to Trump--they attempted to assassinate him knowing full well he was not present for the assassination attempt.

I guess Jasmine Crockett will have to do the job, since she's on the Jim Jordan Weaponizes Congress Committee.

@GottaLaff According to emptywheel, it was started by propagandist Julie Kelly. Some of us here used to interact with her in the old days on the bird site, but after 2016 the mask came off and the full fawning Nazi was revealed. It was shocking and disgusting.

By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.

I have a question, if anyone can help me.

In recent months, I've started using vital wheat gluten in making bread. I'm a big fan, it really does a good job.

But I only use half a tablespoon in a white loaf, so a bag lasts for a while. The bag I have is still half full, and says Best Before May 2024.

What I'm asking is: what happens to it beyond the Best Before date? I notice it's not a Use By. Is it like flour, where you have to check for weevils if it starts getting old? Or is it like yeast, becoming less effective over time?

(Please, I'm only looking for an answer from people who have experience of this, I'm capable of doing a five second googling for myself but I'd prefer expert advice.)

@RolloTreadway It’s primarily protein, so keeping it from heat, light, and moisture/humidity will help longevity. Personally, I keep mine in a ziplock bag in the freezer (yeast as well). I’ve had it there for longer than I can remember with no issues.
