Someone I love gave me this new sticker for my yeti cooler, can you spot it?
The side of a blue yeti cooler covered in stickers from fly fishing shops around the country and a big brown trout, and one sticker with smoky the bear and the words “remember, only you can prevent fascism”

On the menu…
“Many recipes at Fonda San Miguel were inspired by our dear friend Diana Kennedy, who liked to describe herself as the ‘Mick Jagger’ of Mexican Cuisine.”

What a delightful distraction from the news these two are, @roxiqt.com and @crocketthoughton.com. Yay love!
Skeet exchange: Roxi: So if you want my advice on how to find your future spouse, it's easy, be funny on the internet & wait for someone to think that someone else stole one of your posts and then wait for the person they accused of stealing your joke to fall madly in love with you. There are probably easier ways though. Crockett: Honestly, life DID hand us lemons and we made a marriage. Roxi: So true, husband. So true Crockett: Smooches and whatnot. We have to stop being disgusting on the internet but also, it is bringing me joy lmao

They are so fun. These little antique aperitif/shot glasses are also delightful. I never get to use them so we’re bringing them out tonight

I am generally not a gin drinker but a friend introduced me to this small batch gin, Bart Hill, from Vermont and it’s delightful. Especially in our spiky little Halloween glasses

“The deal is a deep betrayal of U.S. law enforcement, whose agents risked their lives to apprehend the gang members,” said Douglas Farah, a U.S. contractor who worked with federal officials to investigate and help dismantle the MS-13 gang. Nixing the agreements also threatens to damage the credibility of the Justice Department, which routinely relies on informants to build cases against high-level criminals, officials said. Informant agreements are based on assurances the cooperators will be protected by the United States. Reneging on promises made in exchange for information could hinder the ability of U.S. law enforcement to develop relationships with potential cooperators in the future.

Every once in awhile I pop over to the bad place and see a last gasp of old Twitter goodness
MAGA weird posts video of a woman wearing a mask protecting her mouth and nose with comment “Gal got ARRESTED for REFUSING to remove her mask at No Kings protest in Savannah, GA. Why would she need a mask? Because she's up to no good. I voted for crap like this.” First two responses to post are 1. A photo of a bunch of ice guys fully masked in black balaclavas, with comment “Right! Why would they need a mask? Because they’re up to no good.” 2. “lol. You mean like ICE with their masks? Why would ICE need masks?”
