@jextxadore Pretty much anything you do with rye bread is going to be wonderful.

@matigo Finland used to be part of the Russian Empire, so the question is who stole it from whom? :-)

Cory Doctorow posted this on Twitter, and I immediately felt the need to share it with @jussipekonen. :-)
@kdfrawg My grandfather was a professional baker, and my mother always said that if he were alive today, he would not believe that there was a chain that sold nothing but cinnamon rolls. [cinnabon.com]

@kdfrawg Out here, Santa Cruz and Anacapa islands go missing on a regular basis. ;-)

Just got a voicemail from my local community college reminding me to register for spring semester classes.
I haven't been a student there since 2001…
@literary Well, there you go, then.
The question of the dignity of work reminds me of the father of a friend. He was a Designated Engineering Representative for the FAA, one of a handful of men who had the authority to sign off on aircraft maintenance and design projects on behalf of the federal government. He used to travel the world meeting with executives and government officials, and he would speak to the busboy at a restaurant in exactly the same way and with the same respect with which he spoke to the president of United Airlines. And if it was somewhere he'd been a year previously and got the same waiter, he'd remember the man or woman and ask after his/her family. Remarkable man, and something to emulate.
@literary Never be embarrassed by honest work. It has its own dignity and is worthy of respect.
