Ah who the hell am I kidding? Macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and cornbread will pair with any chicken dish imaginable

With watermelon too.

I don’t know why anyone gets bent out of shape about this. The food is delicious and everyone loves it. Black culture needs to own it and love it when white folk ask to eat it.

I’m so glad for this. Now a few extremely rich people can make a lot more money. This is really good for humanity. Who needs human beings participating in creative expression when one dude can do it with the push of a button?

I am firmly entrenched in women’s spaces on Tik Tok. The algorithm feeds it to me on a daily basis. I find it fascinating, so I make sure it keeps popping up.

Every day I’ll get a few videos that have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of likes with tens of thousands comments all about how it’s not worth dating men anymore. That women are just fine being independent. That research shows men have a higher quality of life when they’re married and women have a higher quality of life when they’re single. That traveling, boss girling, and social time with other girls is way more fulfilling than dating, getting married, or having kids.

Type “is it worth getting married” into the Tik Tok search bar and you’ll see thousands of videos of mostly women talking about how it’s not. Even in the comments, you’ll see married women say they found an amazing husband but would never recommend marriage to younger girls. My favorite line from them is: “an exceptional man is only as good as an average woman.”

Because the only good things a man can bring to the table is easily accomplished by women on their own.

This tells me a few things. 1) Women are fricking delusional right now and have completely lost the track of what can be a meaningful, fulfilling life. 2) Men suck and are doing very little to advocate for their role in a relationship.

If a man can improve himself to be worth half a shite, it’s shooting fish in a barrel on the dating scene. Women still fawn over men; they’ve just convinced themselves they deserve the best, no matter their actual sexual and relational value. So when men can catch a girl’s attention, she’ll be interested. Women are just making it harder for men to catch their attention.

The network told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement on Wednesday, “HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict. Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees — it does not align with the values of HGTV. Accordingly, we have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace.”

She also shared the statement she sent to TMZ, which read, “I’m grateful for the 15-year journey we’ve shared. It’s been a meaningful chapter, but my focus isn’t on my career. My focus, at this moment is rightfully on my relationships, and my community — the people who truly know my character and where my heart is.”

I agree with this. Government will likely have to step in and establish barriers to entry ( human credentials) for many professions.

How does this work with a capitalistic economy? Especially on a global scale? How can we argue that the best for generating revenue and thus tax dollars is to use human labor over AI labor?

If we decide that human credentials are required by law and European countries or China decides that they're going full throttle with AI, how does that help us?

I have no idea about the future. We'll need UBI but welfare has already shown us that people cannot handle receiving an income when they have no responsibilities or purpose.

What does a governing and economic entity do with unimaginable levels of technology and a large surplus of people who no longer serve any functional purpose?

Well I tried it. Here’s it out of the oven:



I decided against the cream cheese filling and went with a brown sugar-cinnamon filling. The dough didn’t rise much at all during the 24 hour time in the fridge.

I let it sit for an hour to warm up and then rolled it out. It was firm but pliable and seemed to have little risk for tearing.

Braiding the dough was tough and it didn’t want to seal at all. I’m surprised more filling didn’t leak out as I added quite a bit to the dough.

I let it do a 2nd rise for an hour after I shaped it. It didn’t change much at all in that time either. I figured it was a dud.

But it doesn’t look too bad?

My plan now is to freeze the king cake since I’m not going to serve it until Thursday afternoon for my son’s class. Defrost it tomorrow night. Ice Thursday morning. Thoughts?
