A push-button phone and two shirts—that’s all 77-year-old Kharkiv resident Volodymyr Kravtsov managed to save after a Russian attack drone destroyed his home. He survived the massive strike on Kharkiv on November 23, when a drone exploded just five meters from where he was sitting.

This one is excellent, and I’ve made it about 2000 times. I do add a secret ingredient, and that is “Velveeta.”
Also amazing with a topping of crushed Cheez-Its.

This classic (but epic) is loaded to the hilt with both cheddar and gruyère cheese, both in the form of a smooth béchamel and with fistfuls of grated goodness.

For the first time since 1988 the U.S. government is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day. So, I'm posting a few photos from a 2015 exhibition at the Tacoma Art Museum. Hard to pick just one. Here is an Altar Piece by Keith Haring, his last before his death. #WorldAIDSDay

this movie freaked me out, highly suggested
The thing that's weird for me about Lake Mungo as a Christmas movie is that it's Australian, so the movie takes place in the summertime. Which is weird if you're in the northern hemisphere.
Anyway it is quite brilliant. Highly recommend.

I have tried to get RealID three times, and every time they told me I had the wrong paperwork, even when I pointed out that I had all the correct paperwork. My theory is the DMV just doesn't want to deal with it. Now I just carry my passport.
