So OT, and I won't remember this: Warcraft is such a great movie for one thing: Travis FImmel's (of Vikings fame) hamming it up in every scene. It's not to the point of distraction, but it makes the movie so much more entertaining if you just watch him!
WH Presser: Intrepid Reporter asks ‘Who started war in Ukraine?” Walz, Miller say things, none of which are related to question. MSM goes, huh, and moves on. Meanwhile, KA$H is confirmed and Cabinet from Hell is duly installed. Asteroid will be arriving WAY too late.
As a future story wanted to make me imbibe things, does anyone know when middling-shelf (say-$25-$30) wines started going to screw-caps? I grabbed what turned out to be pretty damn good California wine, and after "fishing" through my tackle box for my Victorinox with the corkscrew, I found that it had a fucking screw-top! I know you saved me like a dollar, but what the hell, damn guy? Makes you look janky.
dropping by to say I'm still here. I feel like every day I'm not reading/participating in the non-comments makes it harder to come back but also hard to cope with the daily shitshow of the news.
I threw this little post together and I promise to try and start being around more even if it's just lurking.
I wouldn't make a recipe from the fucking New York Times if it was the last recipe on earth. Saying you're not okay with their bullshit while playing wordle and reading their recipes is absurd.

Filefishes and boxfishes and seahorses and pufferfishes are the best weirdos in the ocean. :D
The little fella should move to the Baltic Sea because his extremities are kind of finnish.
"Southern Pygmy Leatherjacket"??? Somebody was high af when they gave that wee fishie that name.
"They're making jackets out of Pygmy leather? That's horrible!"
"Calm down. No Pygmies were harmed in the manufacture of these fine jackets..."
Southern Pygmy Leatherjackets is the name of my Mieczyslaw Weinberg tribute band.
Get me two tickets for your first concert! I just love Weinberg. (Really) I'll be glad to play along on harmonica or any of my five recorders.
To have a filefish as a pet
Would be my greatest wish
But if I tried to catch one
The worm might eat the fish
"On a scale of one to five, that's about a 4.5," he announced with baited breath.
I'd say that poem is adorsal. It paints a pretty pectoral.
OK, I'm done.
-fin.
Swim little fishie, swim.
If you see the lime swimming around in your margarita, it's probably time to stop drinking.
Put that lime in a coconut and call me in the morning.
Yrs,
Doctor Who
Kinda tickles, on the way down...
Fish head fish head, roly poly fish head
My daughter adored that song when she was like four years old.
It was cute.
In the morning happy laughing fish heads,
In the evening floating in the soup!
RolyPolyFishHeadsAreNeverSeenSippingCapuccinoInItalianRestaurantsWithOrientalWomen........ yeah....
Nothing to do and all day long not to do it...
Fish life, like they're retired or something
I'm gonna sit down and do nuthin'
Big fat nuthin'
Might stay up late and do nuthin'
All night long

Really enjoyed that one. Can relate...
Mmmmmm….wasabi peas…
He's cute in a badass way.
What an odd little guy. Just hovering around.
Evan, you should also try the NYT cooking Golden Potato Leek Soup - it is seasoned with turmeric, yummy!
That Pritzker link is a keeper.
Wishful thinking. He is the King of Wishful Thinking.
New: WP is reporting that Donald Trump is going to fire the USPS board and take control of the USPS himself.

I suggest an alternative. Eat bacon in front of them and say, "You're next."
That would be King of the Assholes, it’s a size thing.

His first scene:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRdd51m_X0Y&ab_channel=FEAR
Nice homage to 'boomstick', but that was 30 years ago.
https://hartmannreport.com/p/does-putin-own-trump-48b and never forget, it was the Jeb Bush campaign that commissioned the Steele dossier. Only after he withdrew was it shown to the Clinton campaign.

All blessings to JB Pritzker. Wish we could clone him 10,000 times. The country is sorely in need of his courage and leadership.
speaking as an Illinoisan jesus god never in my entire (long) lifetime have i had the grace of being proud of my elected reps.
(well except barack also jan and briefly quigley and sometimes durbin... but still you know what i'm saying.)

Rant over. Thinks finally kicking in.

Glad you're still above ground, anyway.
“Does Putin Own Trump?”
How is this even still a question?

The consequences for all of their fascist lies and propaganda should be removal of their tongues and fingers.
Perhaps those could be cooked in a stew once we're all living in shantys down by the river. BUTT THEIR RECIPES!!!
Only 47 (hopefully) more months to go!
