27. I could have had my son pick up this little mind bender, but I don't really like stunt food.
A pack of Lay's potato chips sourced from somewhere in Asia, maybe Taiwan. The flavor is "Italian Red Meat Flavor"

Two panel comic. In panel one, a stick figure is about to make a point. In panel two, expression and body language make clear that there's no point.

14. I miss airbrushed van art.
a black van with art from the movie Phantasm. It features the tall man, the funeral home, the flying sphere. At the top is the word "Vantasm".

12. This is probably the best thing I put on the Thanksgiving table every year. But I cook it to a dark mahogany color, not "slightly browned".
A recipe for Glazed Onions: 1 pound small white boiling onions 5 tablespoons butter 1 and one half tablespoons of butter Salt Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the onions and boil for 5 minutes. Drain and peel. Melt the butter in a skillet and stir in the honey. Add the onions and cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about ten minutes or until the onions are slightly browned. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Create an arts organization that pays me a reasonable salary. Use the money to license IP from ttrpg designers and make low budget movies from them. Profits would be split with various charities. Maybe start with these:
Cover for Annalise, a GM-less game about a vampire Cover for Passing, a ttrpg about aliens living in secret in America Cover for Brindlewood Bay, a cozy mystery ttrpg with a touch of cosmic horror Cover for the first edition of Chill, a ttrpg about horror in general

describe your bluesky account with a single image
A screenshot from one of the hobbit movies--it doesn't matter which--showing an unshaven, uni-browed man with a simpering expression offering a platter of food. The platter is beautiful silver. The food is pale, gummy-looking drumsticks. Very unappetizing.

Cartoon stick figure in two panels. First panel he is about to say something. Second panel shows him not saying anything, his expression making it clear it would be a waste of time.

NYTimes pre-spinning the prosecution of Trump and Trump's allies for their flagrant law-breaking by portraying it as a kind of tit for tat.

To be clear, Dem must win the next election and must file criminal charges against members of the current admin. #NYTFuckOff

If the precedent set by Mr. Trump takes hold, America may be entering a period when each new administration takes aim at the last one in a cycle of retaliation, a what-goes-around-comes-around pattern more familiar in authoritarian countries than in developed Western democracies. Even presidents more restrained than Mr. Trump may succumb to the temptation to follow at least some of his example.

It is a simple but morally powerful formulation: A leader who uses military force to suppress their political opposition forfeits the right to govern. You could call this the “tyrant test,” and Trump is already failing it.

Honestly, I'd settle for this breezy confidence that the next step in the story is the right one.
A televangelist, head bowed, saying (via subtitles) "Jesus, I see what you've done for other people, and I want that for me."
