Geek of food and tech. Plus sundry other things.
Yoda is such a great actor. He’s so underrated.

Before he got famous from his cameos in Star Wars, he worked for decades in children’s TV, enduring over 9 hours of make up every day in order to complete his transformation.

I love translation fails so much.

A much nicer costume.

But Space Giants Goldar has better hair.

Is there a Goldar in Power Rangers too or is this just a Space Giants deep cut.

Space Giants and Ultraman were my jam at age 6.

The wait is over!

Just got a copy of Queen Demon, by the inimitable @marthawells.com from the library.

Going to devour this sequel to Witch King for the joy of it, but also so the copy can be passed on to the next person as soon as possible.

We need to remember that Obama never promised to lead us to some post-racial promised land. It was harebrained pundits who proclaimed the arrival of a post racial America—because it sounded exciting.

It was about as premature a claim as Bush 2’s “mission accomplished” speech.

That’s a fake account.

We all know what the *real* King Arthur looks like.

Anyone caucusing with the GOP is a fascist or a quisling. Climbing into bed with them to ensure that the weapons that will be turned on Americans are reliable is denialism.

At least we can take comfort in knowing that our tanks were a good value & won’t break down before the mass killing commences.

A Dyson sphere around the solar system, you say?

Gonna need a bigger vacuum cleaner!

Naked Gun is good, and do go see it. But don’t forget the TV series that spawned it.

All six glorious episodes of Police Squad! (IN COLOR) are shining diamonds of peak Zucker, Abraham, and Zucker wit.

I can’t eat the ramen (fucking gluten sensitivity fucking sucks, I miss real bread and ramen so much). But this sauce is great.

If you like the sauces, check out their tinned kimchi. It’s super good.

The only down side is that you’ll risk missing out on content related to the most underrated Sweathog.

That and fertilization seem to be their top kinks. Pretty sure they also make racist peanut butter cups with the both flavors.

In a moment of weakness I asked an AI to make an image for this.

It came out better than expected.

Okay, WTF is a swampers blanket?

Google turned up useless horse crap.

At least you aren’t stuck in the hellscape of Thomas the Tank Engine. Be sure to behave or the humans will rip your wheels off and trap you in a box and use you as a generator.

My dog is fundamentally opposed to the existence of squeakers and had developed advanced surgical methods for their eradication.

Sauce is bottled back up. Now it just need to rest for a couple days.

Making barbecue sauce today.

Using a recipe based on one from Joe’s KC (nee Oklahoma Joe’s).

One batch uses a 32 oz bottle of ketchup. When you cook it down, it fits back into the same bottles. Just be sure let it cool so you don’t melt the bottle.

I make two bottles worth at a time.

Looks like it might be bigger on the inside.

Improv fermented giardiniera.

Super tasty, but ferments with onions smell pretty bad when you burp them.

Digging through old boxes and found these save icons.

These are very much of their time.

After we got our Christmas tree in 2023, our dog decided she liked the tree water best. So now we keep the watering can out for her all year.

And yes, it must be on the hearth or it’s not good water anymore.
