Looks like I need to move up production on my soup cookbook.
Anyway, the only thing a *can* of soup is good for is throwing. Make your own.

Ok but seriously. You can get it online from Bookshop.org *or* go to your favorite indie bookstore and request that they order it for you.
It's a short novel that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy, but not before making you laugh and cry.

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social

I want a little photo printer sooooo bad. It's completely nonessential and I don't think I can justify the expense. Such a bummer.

I love Thanksgiving. Not necessarily as a holiday. I never grew up celebrating it (JW), even though we do now. It's really about having this week at the end of November where things slow down, you get a four-day weekend (if you're lucky) and the expectations for productivity are minimal.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

In this painting, the subject reading the Parable of the Sower rests in a field of abundant greenery, suggesting rest as a radical act of resistance in a world that values labor and capital over care.

Listen to me, children. I would not steer you wrong:
Fresh bakery procured sourdough, thinly sliced sharp cheddar, Japanese mayo, Irish butter and the HEB brand dupe for the La Madeline creamy tomato bisque.
Sheer perfection.

Hollywood was always a meat grinder. From the beginning it's been exploitative beyond any standards of ethics. The entire system is built upon abuses of power.
Wizard of Oz deserves its status as a classic piece of cinema but it's also so wild that every story from its production is like, "The producers decided to use face paint that was laced with benzos and ground up copper which kept the actor from being able to breathe during filming"
