I'm making a huge chicken pot pie for Thanksgiving from scratch tomorrow and I'm already just vibrating from the notion of devouring the flaky crust 🤤

You GOTTA stop being so desperately afraid of the audience. Look at me. Look in my eyeballs. Stop being so desperate for approval. Stop writing for the whiny babies in your audience and start writing for the freaks who like cool fucked up shit

What I love about being able to take a week off for Thanksgiving is that I can prepare some fancy small plates during the week.
Today: fresh figs roasted in a balsamic reduction with oil-soaked feta, thyme, and salt. Served topped with smear of elderberry jam

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

Alright! Let's actually talk about this waterfall thing. It is an amazing showcase of many things that I adore from late 90s/early 2000s graphics.
I am replicating this in Blender through mere observation, so some things might not be fully accurate to the mind-boggling effects of the PS1.
