He had salt and pepper hair. And oregano eyebrows. His lips were basil leaves. His entire head was a jar of Italian seasoning

This is Scotty. He is not chasing his own tail's shadow. If you'll notice, he actually has it cornered. 13/10 (TT: lifewithscotty)

How the Mike Johnson Shut Down started, vs how it's going now
how it started, expressed by two skeletons sitting around drinking wine and appearing to laugh as their jaws hang slack how it's going, expressed as two costumed dead slumped on a bench

Happy Mole Day, everyone! 10 to the 23 is a biiiiig number. Here are some incredible drawings from @chemscrapes.bsky.social illustrating the bigness of moles and the smallness of atoms and molecules.
A ChemScrapes illustration showing how big a mole of eggs would be. The size would be roughly that of 5 moons. The image shows two people staring up at 5 moons. The person on the left asks, "Mum, what are the moons made from?." The person on the right says, "A mole of eggs, Dear." An image by ChemScrapes showing how far a mole of gasoline (octane, by approximation) will take your car. The image on the left shows a car filling up with a mole of gas. The image on the right shows that the car has traveled just over a mile before the gas runs out. An image from ChemScrapes showing that a mole of Skittles would fill the Atlantic ocean. An image from ChemScrapes showing a person (me ... I'm the person) reading directions to add a mole of water, roughly 3.5 teaspoons, to a recipe. The person (ahem ... me) says, "Now, let's see ... 1 mole of water ... 3 1/2 teasppons? Doesn't seem like a lot!"

Snacks for #drbc brought to you but the government shutdown. Cream cheese and pesto stuffed peppers. Messy, but tasty.

I made my grandma's yeast waffle recipe. It requires planning ahead, but is always worth it.

Yeah, I have been getting in a lot more steps since the shutdown started. Is the situation overall healthier...? (Stress eats cookies).

White woman puts Mexican flag on her truck to waste ICE’s time.
Scooby I am as white as a hotel towel, and the closest thing to Mexican I am was a single all inclusive resort stay in Cancun. I put a Mexican flag sticker on my old Tacoma abd was promptly pulled over by ICE in San Antonio. I'm happy to waste their time 1d RookaTX This is the way Scooby • RookaTX Their big question was like, "why the sticker" I told them it was on the truck when I bought it-and they suggested I remove it. Obnoxious creatures. 1d
