This is true of course, but also sometimes the recipe is just vague as fuck
5-6 cups of flour and no instructions
(The recipes worth keeping assume the baker knows how to bake)

I laughed at the “recipes could fit on recipe cards because they were simple and real” thing I saw going around because often times they could fit on recipe cards became they would tell you to use a can of soup or a boxed cake mix 😂

@liberationastro @dilanesper a doctor informed me that I am “normal size” last week and I am still kind of chuckling about it
English
@dilanesper "normal size" is maybe an interesting choice of words here!
English
Since I got a bunch of "Lindy is overweight, that's why she has to go along with what her husband wants", this point is important. There's plenty of thin or normal size women who have the same fear of being alone and self-esteem issues Lindy seems to have.

@EyeOnStalk @dilanesper Thin women have never ever ever settled ever. 🙄

@chucktodd I only learned about her yesterday from cinnabon

So what does it say about you if you get breaking news alerts about someone named “Taylor Frankie Paul” and you have zero idea who they are even after you find out who they are?

now imagine teaching entertainment law 🥰
Fansince O’Nine@FanSince09
actually excited for the first attorney to cite Cooley v Afroman
English
@svershbow he was like, “you go to yale? oh yeah that place is ooooold and DUSTY!”
(I am allergic to dust & dust mites)
English
@svershbow I hope you get some memorable quotes. I will never forget the allergist who told me “you’re allergic to your law school” and “the ideal job for you would be forest ranger!” 🥰
English
I'm so excited to find out what I'm allergic to when the dermatologist reads my patch test today. This is my gender reveal party.

sub-unit on use of trademarks in expressive works for my undergrad class just happens to feature 3 rhyming examples & i swear this was not by design:
"vuitton, peloton, louboutin"
English
just remembered I accidentally misidentified colonel sanders as “the quaker oats guy” and all my students were like “PROFESSOR, NO!”

@TweetTonyMac @jkimballcook no we must give barbra her due

Can we start referring to it as the “Afroman Effect” instead of the Streisand Effect when people file frivolous defamation lawsuits and become a national laughingstock?
Meghann Cuniff@meghanncuniff
Victory for Afroman over the sheriff's deputies who sued him for defamation and invasion of privacy through false light. "In all circumstances, the jury finds in favor of the defendant. No plaintiff verdict prevailed. So the matter will be concluded with defense verdicts."
English
What a world we’re living in where Afroman is the #LawTwitter hero of the day. And I’m 💯 here for it.

@Tyler_A_Harper I loved shrill & liked the witches are coming but this one sounds like a skip?
English
I wrote about Lindy West. Her memoir, in which she is guilt-tripped into polyamory by a husband who vaguely implies that monogamy is racist, is a cautionary tale about turning marriage into a political project. Her polyamory is just the coastal lib version of being a tradwife. 🧵
The Atlantic@TheAtlantic
In her memoir, Lindy West describes how she went from resisting polyamory to embracing it—but her version of it is strangely politicized, @Tyler_A_Harper argues: “She doesn’t seem enlightened. She seems to have been wheedled into buying a fantasy.” theatlantic.com/family/2026/03…

@lexlanham I'm being given the option to translate this from Turkish

@sdiver100 oof. so sorry. sending good thoughts your & their way.
English
If y'all could throw some good thoughts into the universe today, I'd appreciate it. My sibling I like has been diagnosed with an extremely rare (500 people/year) aggressive terminal cancer and today's the "how long" appt. 3rd sibling w/cancer right now. Where's my lightning bolt?

Taylor Swift’s LIFE OF A SHOWGIRL trademark app suspended, USPTO refuses to register Snoop Dogg’s SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY app, and patent application refusal cites Borat’s iconic neon swimwear as prior art. More in this week’s I ❤️ Trademarks Newsletter: hubs.li/Q047fNt80

@McCoySmith do you think we will see legal challenges bubble up from these AI-generated contracts in the future, or the uses are different in kind & less risky than what's happening in litigation?
English
@lexlanham Shock value might depend on the uses being made.
Write your brief? Get ready for sanctions!
Draft a contract? TBH not a lot different than how most contracts have been historically drafted, based on templates (either agreements, or clause banks).

That asymmetry is the real AI governance crisis nobody is addressing. 90% of lawyers now use AI tools daily. Wolters Kluwer 2026 confirms it.
