@Lily_and_frog I feel like the next Epstein batch of files might make us all reassess the Lizard People thing! Keep an open mind?? wtf ffs

Was thinking more like satellite imagery as background. I feel like there’s no way such faint an object would be visible through the atmosphere. But maybe I’ve just never been far enough away from civilisation.

Fox News Sends Trump Quarterly Tithe Of 3 Blond AnchorsWASHINGTON—Saying the sumptuous gift should slake the administration’s thirst for the next few months, Fox News sent President Donald Trump its quarterly tithe of three blond anchors, White House sources confirmed Friday. “We have traveled south to the White House steps to present you with these three Kayleighs,” said Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoc…#theonionhttps://theonion.com/fox-news-sends-trump-quarterly-tithe-of-3-blond-anchors/

@katemorley I hate it when people mix these up!

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve played FInal Fantasy 7. Like, probably 25 years now. Maybe 20. But definitely before I permanently moved away from home. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, but also, one of the hardest for me to revisit. I’m at the City of the Ancients now, and I’m finding myself woefully unprepared to handle it.

Wild, people talk to me with an alarming frequency. Maybe Haligonians are just uncomfortably chatty.

When was the first exoplanet discovered? You might read it was in 1992, but in fact the first evidence for the existence of alien worlds was found before then. Way before then.Like, in *1917*.I love this story.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-was-the-first-exoplanet-discovered/

I’ve been doing this for a while, but it’s a problem I’ve never solved. Dunno if it’s my crust recipe or something I need to do during construction. The recipe is as follows: 1c water, 120°F 1 packet dry active yeast (2.25tsp) 1Tbsp granulated sugar 2Tbsp olive oil 3.5C white flour 1tsp salt Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm water, wait to bloom Add everything else and mix into dough. Knead, proof Roll out, transfer to pan Second proof (optional) Preheat oven to 425°F Construct pizza with favorite toppings Bake at 425°F for 15min or until cheese is sufficiently browned Step 7 usually has jarred marinara, meats (except pepperoni), spices, and cheese, and all the veggies (and pepperoni) go on top. Still, the very middle part of the pizza ends up a little doughy, just where the sauce meets the crust. The outside of the pizza is just fine, but the only thing I can think is that the sauce is adding too much water. Do I need to add a layer of oil before the sauce, or should I try to reduce the sauce before adding it? Should I reduce the temp and increase the time? Thanks!

Friend: Which one, Mastodon or Bluesky?Me: Mastodon has scientists and experts in their field who love to share about their lives, and everyone is super nice. Bluesky is not so much. Friend:Me: Mastodon is Star Trek. Bluesky is Star Wars. Friend: Why didn’t you say that first?
