Baked a cherry pie. Still waiting for it to cool down even if I think burning my mouth would be worth it.
A cherry pie sitting on a grey towel on a wooden cutting board. The pie top is golden brown with some darker brown spots where egg wash pooled and I didn't bother removing it. The edges of the pie are a bit cracked where the crust let some of the cherry filling out and it stuck to the sides of the pie dish. One bit of the cherry filling is still bubbling. The center oozed a bit where it was scored, showing the dark red filling inside.

A screenshot of the image in the quoted post that reads: irritatingly, the list of Al settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one): • browser.ml.enable • browser.ml.chat.enabled • browser.ml.chat.menu • browser.ml.chat.page • browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge • browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge • browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled • browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled • browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled • browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled • extensions.ml.enabled • browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate in addition to nuking Al, it'll also speed up your browsing

Thinking it's time I switched away from Firefox. Tired of scanning about:config each update to disable more LLM garbage I don't want.

Tried to make mechado (the stew kind anyway, I think two years after I said I'd try to make it). No idea if I did it totally correctly but it tastes great.
A bowl of mechado over rice sitting in my cutting board. The mechado is a beef stew in a deep red sauce with red bell peppers, chopped carrots, barely visible sliced onions, and yellow potato chunks about the same size as the pieces of beef. The sauce is mixed into the rice and has a visible bit of oil around the edges of the bowl. There's a spoon stuck in it at the top.

A drawing of my OC, Dreamkeeper (a humanoid figure with a blue dress with star patterns, a giant night cap, brown-ginger hair holding her dream wand (a big golden key) looking at a monster figure with a dark body and tentacles and a bright multicolored eye surrounded by fangs. It's high up on the ceiling of a nonsensical room filled with stairs that lead nowhere and windows emitting golden light.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It is the invincible meme based on the "look at what it takes to mimic our power" scene The top panel is "look at the cow" with a scene from Harvest Moon 64 The second panel says "moooo" with a close up of the cow Harvest moon 64 is a well-known and loved Nintendo 64 game much like Quest 64
