grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Golden Girls: Love is Golden is out TODAY! What would be REALLY cool is if you bought it at your local bookstore like, say, Bookstore Plus here in Lake Placid NY where I am for the holiday. Shopping small does wonders for your community as well as your SOUL. Now go forth and spread the love.

I sometimes dwell on the past if #Crew96 didn’t get food poisoned for the 2024 CCC Final what we’d be now. The team would stay together through the Club World Cup, etc. Now our best coach and players are gone. It’s all food poisoning’s fault and will continuously hashtag so. #FUFoodPoisoning

I've been learning to play guitar, and I think the folks who invented the guitar did not believe you'd ever need a B chord.

On its own, I thought Predator: Badlands was a good movie.

But I think "relatable Predator" runs kind of counter to the concept.

It'd work really well if you just CTRL-f the script and sub in a Klingon.
Still from Predator: Badlands where the Predator holds up the android. The android is missing her legs.

Random thought - if they ever use Looker in a movie or TV show - Nikki Glaser.

Looker is far from a household name, but Katana, Black Lightning and Metamorpho have all been portrayed in live action. That's most of the Outsiders!
Comedian Nikki Glaser DC Comic character Looker in her original, very odd costume. This picture probably crops weird in the preview.

This is honestly a great book.

my novel VEINS is now available at drewtoothpaste.com and i'm including some excerpts here. it downloads as a PDF and it's $4.99
Veins by DREW I started doing slogans when I was 18. That's just a phrase you say to advertise someone's company. They're free to make, but they're worth a lot if you get the right one. For example, "It's cold. It's dessert. We call it ice cream." That works for any ice cream company. Or you can make a specific slogan like "Take a bite out of life. Apple Computer." The logo of Apple has a bite in it, so it's perfect. Every company needs a slogan so you remember them. Even regular things like lamps need a slogan. A lot of people probably think lamps are no big deal, but wait until it gets dark outside. Then you really appreciate them. A hundred years ago when it got dark, we would just have to go to bed, but not now. "Thanks, Lamps." That's a lamp slogan. "Don't live half your life in the shadows." That's another one they could use. In Finland, they only have sun half of the year, and they get depressed. It can happen to anyone. Companies like Apple or lamp companies can afford to spend money on slogans, because it's all profit. You don't need anything special to make a lamp. All you need is a lightbulb and a dream. Put quotes around that, because it's another great slogan. Bug spray is really expensive, so I tried to catch some spiders and put them in my apartment, to be natural predators. I only got 6 spiders, and after I put them under my bed, all they did was make spiderwebs. I had to pull all the spiderwebs I found (they are gross and make your apartment look dirty) but they kept making more every day. I got tired of pulling them, so I squashed the spiders I could find and looked on the internet to find other predators. When I searched online it said the main predator of bugs was lizards, but I didn't want to get them. Lizardwebs would be even worse (because they are bigger than spiders) and I didn't want to be sitting at home and have them stare at me with their dead eyes. You don't know if they are going to just snap and bite you, or s---- on your bed, because they don't have eyebrows, or emotions. I still don't like swimming. When I drive by the water park I start feeling nervous like someone's going to yell at me. They'll take my glasses, and they'll put me on the slide, and when I get to the bottom I can't find my glasses, and I'm cold, and my skin is poisoned. Swimming for me is like going to a store, and as soon as you walk in, they put a blindfold on you and spray Raid. Then, when you get back home, everyone tells you "I love that store."

the matrix exists in a brief historical window of time when the phone and computer were both powerful, but existed separately.

At this time in 2022 Max Arfsten was an MLS Next Pro player about to enter the SuperDraft, with zero first-team appearances to his name.

Today he's the best player on the pitch for the USMNT, bursting with confidence, delivering end product. Quite a comeup.

I sent our couple friends a text saying I’m glad they’re not taking on Obergefell.

“Congratulations” feels like the wrong word.

I looked for a Hallmark card for this, but I don’t think they make one.

Sigh.

> there’s a precedent for this, if we’re going to take seriously the idea that AI is a new industrial revolution. The last Industrial Revolution was great, … but had a long transition period ... In particular, the industrialisation of food production was an absolute public health disaster
