All right, BlueSky, it is Thanksgiving which means it's time to brave our sensory issues and touch sticky-ass cookie dough so we can bake tasty treats for our friends/loved ones. This entry, terrifyingly named Corn Cookies, comes by way of Joanne Fluke's Fudge Cupcake Murder.

There's no corn in it, thank God. They are pumpkin cookies meant to be decorated with candy corn. Which would have been cute and thematically appropriate! But I couldn't find any at the grocery store so I used a different confectionary abomination: Hershey's snickerdoodle kisses.

"It does not appear that such memos were furnished." lol, lmao even.

Boat strikes put US service members in legal jeopardy: "Some junior officers have asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general or JAGs, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes .... It does not appear that such memos were furnished, said one of the people."

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/

I missed #ShamelessSelfPromo Monday and today I fell at work and skinned my knee. Coincidence?? I think not. It's Oct so I'm doing my annual Horror Watch. Currently up on the blog are Weapons (25), The Meg (18), House on Eden (25), CAM (18), Match (25), Dead of Night (1945), & Haunted Mansion (23).

It's such a strange, revealing argument. Why should any of us give a shit about protecting people in Epstein's files? Why do they think we do? Since when is the most sacred tenet of society "privacy for relationships of the rich & powerful with the pedophile child trafficker"? Reveal them all.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

A hybrid catalytic system can synthesize the amino acid alanine directly from used bioplastic, air, and water. The system could enable the recycling of waste plastic but also makes a valuable product from a cheap feedstock and without dangerous or expensive reagents. cen.acs.org/synthesis/ca... 🧪

ok #booksky do your thing When my dad was about 11, so somewhere around 1950 to 1952, he read a series of non-fiction books, probably aimed at children, about American Indian chiefs, which he loved tremendously but doesn't know much more about other than their subject matter. Anybody got a lead?

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

In the film The Princess Bride, a spectacular duel is fought atop the Cliffs of Insanity between a man in black, who we will later know as the Dread Pirate Roberts (and still later as Buttercup’s beloved farm boy, Wesley), and Inigo Montoya, the Spaniard.

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers. I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better. Please share :)
