I used to be vegetarian.
🥬 🥕 🥚 🧀
For some reason, people regularly thought they were entitled to debate me about it.
It was especially bad when I moved from Chicago, which had a strong veggie scene, to otherwise-liberal Boston. I didn't expect vegetarian hate from East Coast goths, but I got either trolled about it or debated constantly.
You don't owe anybody an explanation about your dietary commitments.
And that includes going back to eating meat.🥩
MY MOM: Cats act like they're boss.
ME: They're more like the professionals of the domestic animals. They expect to be treated like doctors.
MY MOM, A DOCTOR: OK, well then how they act is fine.

If you start thinking about the McKnowhe archetype, you'll quickly find a ton of McKnowhes & McKnowshes, primarily in American movies and TV.
Now's the part where you guys tell me your favorites.

Some other things about the heroic archetype McKnowhe:
GOÐI: This man wasn't sacrificed. He's hung himself!
VIKING DETECTIVE: The blót thickens!
This book is awesome when you're like 20 and trying to figure out wtf the world is even about & how you're gonna deal with it.

Bunch of new items in my game shoppe today!

One of the first tools I ever bought was a size zero Philips screwdriver.
I got it when I was 9 so that I could take my GI Joes apart & reassemble them as frankendolls.

I tried to write a country 🤠 song once, but it came out all,
"My domestic partner left me/
now my cat & hybrid are all I've got left/
pour me another microbrew/
with an artisanal bourbon back."
By then I was too mortified to even mention my gay little .22 target rifle.
I mean, it's got a truck, a loyal animal, a gun, and drinking--
They're just all the wrong kind. 😁

Meloni leads a party with a deeply anti-women agenda. But the leopards still had a go.
Recently, some jagoff circulated AI slop of her in her barely-theres.
I applaud her as a human for staying dignified through episodes like this (it's not the first). Nancy Mace could take notes.
Did she deserve it? No, nobody does.
Could her own political activities be fueling a public discourse where soft revenge porn of a female pol is fair play?
Seems quite possible.

Tungsten is a vital strategic metal. It's been in the news lately because the US has been depleting its reserves by firing a shitload of it at Iran. All that ordnance—conservatively, tens of billions of dollars worth—has to be restocked. Not just with tungsten, but with several other rare minerals.
China controls over 80% of world tungsten production.
But you can still go on Amazon and buy tungsten tape for your pickleball paddle for ten bucks.
man, all this commercialism…
it's like people've forgotten the true meaning of 4/20
"Trump Antichrist" is currently the most popcorn-worthy search term on the internet.

DON'T THINK ABOUT THE EGGBEAST.
Oh no. You just thought about the eggbeast, didn't you?
See, that's what happens.

Nanni was a Yelp comment section troll.
If you've spent any time around service industry people (which you definitely have if you prosecuted a bunch of mob trials), you know damn well that 86 has two meanings:
1. you're out of something, or tossing it because it's gone bad
2. you're cutting off or kicking out a drunk
Never mind that Comey never worked in hospitality. A lawyer's job is to listen & pick apart what people say. Any non-dimwit is going to pick up some new figures of speech that way.

New things in my lasercut shop!
The Trishula is Lord Shiva's trident, commonly seen in Hindu shrines and places of worship.
This version is laser cut on 1/4" plywood with a hole for hanging it. Black stain with shellac protective coating, 3.75"x3.75". No polymer-based ingredients; this sign will never shed microplastic.
Thanks to my beerseller Api, who checked this for me to make sure I'd drawn it correctly.

The Infopocalypse will take the form of real news, history, and content being obscured by a history-retardant shitstorm of AI nonsense.
Only people's lived experiences will be a sure thing, but the records of those (personal photos, &c.) will also be constantly subject to AI remixing.
Hope you all have good memories.
