Tricolor beagle/dachshund/chihuahua curls up in his dog bed with his snoot buried in his dad's shoe.

Cozy dog thinks "SHOE."

Oh, I have some tribulating news for you...

Oh... MORONism. Utah stands down.

It's the Rapture. Dangit, they finally got it right.

A Space Needle for ANTS?

They didn't fire the social media person? Remarkable.

It's easier to make monitors wider than taller?

My neighborhood is very brown, but it's also copland/copland-adjacent. I'll report what I see.

I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I didn't live under whatever protection Illinois can afford.

Usually there's a crescent moon on the doors of these places.

Chicago could be the Great Giardiniera.

And it's not like the man *doesn't* have a vodka.

There's a feed called "onlyposts" that fixes this.

"Tavern style" is a scam perpetrated by Big Napkin and Big Dry Cleaning to force otherwise careful eaters to go wrist-deep into the middle of a hot, greasy pie when God provided the rim of the crust for a handle.

Lou Malnati's deep dish is our go-to because cheese on the bottom hits different.

Thanks to JJGo, I will never forget that Walton Goggins Has A Vodka.

Du-VAL!

However it is that you still exist, I'm glad of it.

...and remember to add an "R" for rage... either at the end or next to the other "R." The call won't connect otherwise.

And the place is better for it!

The canvas *can* do miracles!

Does Sadie get hold of a liter of Buckfast Tonic Wine, aka "Wreck the hoose juice"?

Did they proceed to sell five copies of "The Three E.P.'s" by The Beta Band?

I coined a new word for our American government: Khairekakistocracy, "rule by gleeful malice."

This adds to kakistocracy, (rule by evil or the worst people) the crucial dimension of "khairekakía," evil done gleefully, being cruel because it's fun to hurt people who don't matter to you.

CGI or practical fx?

Corned beef slow-cooked for six and a half hours rests on a vintage Corningware Cornflower Blue platter. Behind it, a small bowl brims with horseradish mustard cream sauce.

Corned beef and cabbage, final update: it sliced like prime rib and tasted even better. The ancestors are pleased.

Corned beef nestled in cabbage and onion wedges and annointed with minced garlic, viewed through the glass lid of a large black crockpot.

The festive St. Patrick's Day meal is on its way!

That's rather a SCSI joke.

Did it kill any deer during the shoot?

Not *my* hind leg...

Also, unlike in the movies, the leader of the dystopian autocracy has a lot of popular support, and they've been armed to the teeth and brainwashed for decades. Civil wars aren't as glorious as you'd hope, ever if your side wins.
