Peanut butter whiskey - is it the best whiskey? Nawwww.
Is it full of peanut-buttery goodness that goes great after a warm cinnamon roll and a nog latte? You bet your first-day-of-PTO ass it does.

So Rumplestiltskin signed an exec order to reschedule cannabis to Schedule III. Sure this will be good for plant touching businesses and is a baby step of sorts to ultimately rescheduling the plant and its extracts... (continued)

I personally have not yet crossed over from “cautious” to “cautious optimism”.

2025 in general: Enjoy what you have today, for tomorrow someone might fuck it up.

Satisfying Saturday Shop Day, soon to be followed by a good helping of Caturday. Countersinking some holes in 11G cold-rolled for a tabletop to that Harbor Freight stand and wheel base in the background, and saving a good deal of skrilla!

This is brilliant. Good luck with that Meta!

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

I modeled this eyeball pattern on a whim for a special iron cupola pour… 30 years ago in my metal sculpture class at SJSU.
I finished it this week with an iron phosphate patina - mounted it today with these integrated clamps.
Never too late I guess… just waiting for the right place to install it!

As I oh-so-slowly work to build up my network of cannabis professionals in the Blueskies, I found this article to be a great share... a summary of how taboo and stigma were built to protect big money interests through a convenient scapegoating.

Sound familiar?

1925 – 2025: The 100 Years War on Cannabis – How Big Industry Demonized Marijuana – Cannabis & Tech Today
Despite brief reprieves driven by the needs of war, the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act became the nail in the coffin. By 1982, another tax code, 280E, further ensured that even if states legalized cannabis, distribution would remain financially untenable.

So AI-generated music is not only all over Spotify, spammers have figured out how to get AI songs onto the profiles of real artists, many of whom are dead. Reason #23723487849 to quit spotify and also a reminder we live in hell

The amount of zen achieved when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today, is directly proportionate to the amount of giddiness experienced when using one’s new bare-bones 12” disk grinder for the first time today. They oddly don’t cancel each other out either.
