This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...
Because apparently this is the year where I elevate my childhood cereal box recipes, homemade Chex Mix with Hot Old Bay and extra hot sauce mixed into good butter and Worcestershire sauce is GLORIOUS
Made fancy Rice Krispie treats with brown European butter, sweetened condensed milk, almond and vanilla extracts, and finishing salt, and now I’m questioning what have I been doing my whole life

re: what is the earliest game that let's you be non-binary, someone responded with this: "wizap ankoku no ou" on SNES, a game that lets you literally pick your gender on a spectrum. unassailably cool!
Huh didn't load up the game myself but hot damn you are correct. Still later than Ultima III: Exodus (1983 vs 1994) still cool though.

A reminder of ways you can get involved to make your voice heard on this (and other city budget issues): Contact your council member and the mayor: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/c... www.minneapolismn.gov/government/m...
I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

Great opening talks by @lookitup.baby and Rick Hudson about the importance of a diverse support community in cybersecurity, not only in terms of gender, sex and race, but also self taught vs degree background. And yes, Fuck ICE, loved to be in the audience for that heh.

@lookitup.baby is a Minnesota treasure.
Brilliant keynote by @lookitup.baby at @bsidestc.org. Taking care of one another is key, and they drew a clear line from mutual aid to infosec community.💜💗

I certainly hope nobody makes the mistake of conducting business with this company in the future, or involving them in any processes.
these fucking guys, man. “surely there must have been some mistake” “nah bro we did that on purpose and our company culture is so wild this is a normal thing to say on the public Internet”

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
