In 42 years of life on this earth, I have yet to find a hot sauce that is better on my eggs than Taco Bell Fire Sauce.
Sriracha is acceptable. Cholula Garlic is satisfactory. Frank's Red Hot will due.
Nothing beats Taco Bell Fire.

Strixhaven. Which a wiki tells me is a plane called Arcavios.
"You mean.... a magic school made by someone who isn't a shitty phobic person? Let's go!"
Also.. it's got one of my favorite characters in Magic, Dina.
Also also, Seanan McGuire is writing a book set in Strixhaven in the spring.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

Transphobia is recycled 90s homophobia.
HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.
They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

Hilary Cass here arguing for children to be prevented from being known by a preferred name or getting a haircut in case it encourages them to continue later in life to transition.
Hilary Cass acts like gender variant children should have the transness hazed out of them.

Taco Bell Fire Sauce is objectively the best. Any trip to Taco Bell is an excuse to grab two extra handfuls to later put on your breakfast eggs.
all taco bell menu items exist purely as vehicles for transferring fire sauce into the body

Highly recommend being a slush reader. I've done it on two separate occasions. It was a couple hours a week of reading. Not nearly as much as a time sink as people fear, especially on a fully staffed up team.

Today I discovered that an Irish language phrase for "dang, your hot" is...
"Cuireadh bodán an fear sneachta thú"
"You'd give a snowman a horn"
Ha! I love idioms in other languages.

Apologies and regrets are worthless without actions.
Like okay, sure, you're sorry for electing a pedophile rapist who organized his own private SS to kidnap and disappear brown people, but what are you going to DO about it?
Because they'll still vote Republican after saying sorry.
I guarantee it

The people with the "molon labe" aka Moron Label tats that love to think they're a bunch of Spartans from 300 forget that every single damn one of them as killed to a man.
So when the Spartans were all "come and take them" the Persians were all "ok" and housed them.

I would have bought you faster based off that tho.

Finally… Edgar Wright was once asked by an interviewer why he felt the need to steal all of his quick-cut montages from Snatch. Wright replied “I didn’t. I stole them from Martin Scorsese. Just like Guy Ritchie did.”

Film industry, especially mainline Hollywood movies, don't do this anymore. It's blockbuster or nothing. A tidy 60 mil profit off a small budget just doesn't happen anymore.
On a budget of $16m, Hot Fuzz took $80.7m at the box office, so was a big money spinner. It has gone on to be regarded as a British comedy classic, and was rated in the Top 100 Best British Films by Empire Magazine.

HOT FUZZ was released 19 years ago today. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy and one of the most beloved British comedies this century, the tale of how it was made is like firing two guns whilst jumping through the air…
