Photography and bullshit, not necessarily in that order. If you follow me for photography be ready to put up with some bullshit; if you follow me for bullshit good news, you'll also get to see some pretty pictures time to time as a bonus!

My contributions to the family holiday meal today—Kenji's "Hasselback potato gratin" (basically scalloped potatoes assembled sideways for lots of exposed surface area for browned edges), sourdough* focaccia, and spiced apple cake with salted penuche frosting

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Overnight, the Raccoonobahn had this grey fox and coyote commuting, I think the raccoons are taking the long way round rather than use the Raccoonobahn at the moment. Though, neither fox or coyote would really want to tangle with an adult raccoon (they feisty).

That moment when you cross the threshold from just being tired of the hot takes to being tired of the "tired of the hot takes" posts I really should just log off

Post doing the rounds about how great it was on "old twitter" that you could "bully brands in to acting right" and just want to vent about how big-clout accounts never seemed to understand that was something they could only do because of their follower counts

Have you ever had a dream you think about years later and sill get bummed you woke up before you could see the ending? A decade or so ago I had one where I had to fly a spaceship to Mars where an archaeological team had somehow discovered what were uncontrovertibly the bones of John the Baptist...

I'm on the whole positive on Star Wars (if decliningly so), but there is nothing more insufferable to me than arguing about Star Wars rankings. Just the worst.

Food hot take going in to the turkey holiday: The conventional wisdom that light meat poultry is bad is in large part a product of the fetishization of cooking a bird whole.

When's the last time an aging SF/F/H writer has in their late career it was really important to awkwardly retcon all their popular books and series into having taken place a connected universe/multiverse? Seems like it used to be par for the course but haven't seen it in a while...

Every once in a while I find myself wondering why every bread recipe on the internet by default is enough to make two loaves and then remember as a single childless person baking everyday bread for only for myself I am not the primary target audience

Grok: "Hell yeah he does! He's the best at it because he loves turds in his mouth!"

As someone who spent too much of my life feeling an unearned superiority for being "smart" before I learned better it feels like an ironic punishment how that word has now become code for "a product or feature that's thoroughly smeared in Al shit in a way you will not be able to get the stink off"

It's a shame there wasn't more care given when the skeuomorphic default iconography of computer applications was codified, would be nice if you didn't have to guess whether clicking an icon with a magnifying glass is going to pull up zoom controls or a search function
