I made a cake yesterday and it wasn't great, not that good really. It's okay I guess. The issue is that we've had two cakes from Sendik's this month and this one doesn't compare to those.
Also, I don't really make cakes that often. It's probably been a few years since I made a cake.
It also didn't help that I mis-measured when making the frosting and had to then try to make my own powdered sugar.

Aww… just look at how happy they are, though, at the thought of murdering Palestinians.
Doesn’t it just warm your heart?

There will surely be — must already be! — many other such efforts sneaking under the radar, exploiting the marginalized, or cake-walking past the indifferent.
The thing about having trillions of investment dollars behind your industry is that you don’t really even need a marketing •strategy• per se; you just need to flood the zone, flood the containers of society and see where the leaks are. Efforts like the one in the linked @… article only need to succeed 1 time in 100 to pay off, because once you’ve got the data you can milk it forever.
Double orange cake with fruit and crème fraiche. At the bon papillion in Edinburgh, where the presentation is just as important as the (excellent) taste.

Went to the Japandult, a small Japanese fair in Munich („dult“ is an old Bavarian term for fair). It was nice but also expensive. 15€ to get in. They had some cultural shows (rap, flute music, a presentation from a Samurai school) and booths with handcrafts. Lots of anime plushies. Handmade, yes, but also cliche. You could buy some not so common snacks and sweets and they had a food truck with Takoyaki (balls filled with octopus)

@… I was tired but wanted to make a cake with some aniseed I recently bought, so I more or less jumped into the first recipe I found, which turned out to be a complete car crash - the English translation on the website isn't even the same as the Spanish!
I started to get suspicious when it wanted 2 *tablespoons* of baking powder and some other measurem…

Boekhandel Dominicanen is one of the sights in #Maastricht, and they also sell vinyls and CDs (!), so I bought two recent albums to add to my very small collection of Dutch #HipHop.

Greets from today's #cycling loop. It's been a great time outside. Friendly cyclists, super views. Some rests to have a snack and refill water.
And at the end some cake 😋

„Wij gebruiken taal op de energie van een kopje koffie en een plakje cake. De huidige AI-modellen hebben daarvoor ongeveer een datacentrum met het energieverbruik van Almere nodig. Daarom vind ik een interessantere vraag: hoe bouw je een systeem dat hetzelfde taalgedrag vertoont met dezelfde energie-efficiëntie als een mens? AI-systemen leren om slim om te gaan met beperkte rekenkracht en energie blijft een enorme uitdaging.”
