Pork experiment. Hatch Chili pork butt. Pre-Seasoned wet rub from Costco. 14 hour low temp smoke on the pellet grill, the last 3 hours wrapped in paper. and then rested for 2 hours. Shredded just a couple handfuls for supper.

This is going to be a long walk for minimal payoff. One of my hobbies is antagonizing MAGAts on Faecesbook and elsewhere. I've read that the way to convert MAGA cultists it to listen to them, be understanding and try to offer helpful advice. I want to be clear: I'm making things worse. What I offer to the MV MAGAts (who haven't blocked me) is scorn, derision and mockery. All of which I couch in a few layers of internet speak that makes it just a bit of a challenge to understand. It's less true now, but for the last decade a big part of the online right has been being part of the "in the know" crowd. The Proud Boys, 4chan, incels etc. all make huge use of their own (not so) coded language. It's not too difficult to turn said language back at them. If I tell a MAGAt he's "smoking the cope rope" he might not precisely know what I mean, but he has some idea he's being insulted. I am a big fan of OkayBuddyRetard meme edits. The format of OKBR is at this point a fundamental part of internet communication. As a student of graphic design (seriously, it's what I studied in college) I find them amusing. I love David Lynch's 1984 film Dune. I saw in theaters, when I was frankly way too young for it. The movie freaked the shit out of me. In spite of that, over time it became one of my favorites. One of the best lines, that stuck with me for 40 years at this point is "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which GOD has never seen." I've had the notion to turn it into a meme for ages. Also, I am a lazy shit. I've done a number of searches for screenshots with subtitles enabled, and the only one I could find it lousy. I can't make a meme from an image where Stilgar looks like a goddamn Soyjak. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Three ...totally legitimate "backups" of Dune (1984) later [Xref comments about Ubuntu and Proton] and one search for a subtitle file, and I have the tools I need. Next is finding where in the film is the famous line delivered. Google AI (bless its miserable little heart) says 2h5m. BZZZT. It's ~1h57. After carefully selecting a still where 'Gar looks less like an idiot, and a few minutes with Comic Sans in Photoshop, I present How I Antagonized a MAGAt Claiming the Economy Was Fine: None of this does any good, I realize. I drew amusement making it. It's not ever day Gurney Halleck makes a cameo in one's shitposts.

No reflux! 😎

I've said similar myself Knucks.

Reasons. Duncan Sheik by Duncan Sheik (1996) https://open.qobuz.com/album/0603497998852 Example: Originally found Duncan on the Soundtrack for "The Saint" movie. It was overshadowed by Duran Duran, but I liked the layering of the vocals and the overall production sound around the good lyrics. I picked up and listened to the first album a lot. I Also picked up the 1997s - Humming. But by time the 2001 release came along I had lost track of him. Missing completely that he was involved in a musical. Sad it takes his passing (56yo too young) to find his work again. RIP...

'Murica Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated. Starting off gently with what the Australians would call "a sausage sizzle" Spousal approval achievement unlocked.

smoked pork belly is back on the menu boys.

Not someone I was familiar with, but RIP 27 year old son of Cindy Crawford, Presley Gerber. Addiction is an MFer and it cares not for wealth or class. Apparently Presley had been struggling for quite some time. Call me a boomer, but I will never not associate hand and neck tattoos with anything but poor life choices.
