I actually liked it. It's kind of like beating up Worf. They used a former enemy whose power we are aware of, and showed how trivial they are before Art Vandaley

I need a happy ending for the Silver Blood 😭

So, just in case it wasn't crystal clear enough what this is, one of the prisoners in the article asked if he could be sent back to Venezuela, and they refused.

My brother doesn't like work from home either, and I just don't get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.

I'm not stressed all the time; I don't have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I'll do for lunch. I don't have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.

But I've never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It's the one place where I can't control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually

Not like those poors, who can't be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There's the shitting on the poor part.)

This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed "foods."

RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.

I would definitely agree with the advocates for affordable housing saying that there should be some guarantees, but the bill's sponsor has already said he's considering that going forward. Otherwise, denser mixed housing around public transit sounds great. Bad look for party leadership

They'll just end up on sketchier sites that ignore the rule, or learn to use a VPN. Prohibition doesn't work

You're crazy if you didn't feel the tension between Archer and Shran

At this rate, she'll be a one term senator. I wonder if she's being set up to take the brunt of the anger people have for the democratic establishment. It definitely feels like there's pressure on Michigan from the national party. Whitmer has been talking about working with Trump, which seemed very out of character to me. Some of his goons tried to kidnap her only a few years ago

Surely the leopards will spare my face

Some of my coworkers definitely do this

I think "margins" might imply percentage, but I Am Not A Businessman. I would be interested to see a full cost breakdown. I bet they're saving on shipping! Lol

 
 

More Expanse crossovers? Yes please!

 
 

It must be hard to eclipse the Equinox

 

Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists

  • 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
  • .75oz Cinnamon syrup
  • .75oz Lime juice
  • .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
  • .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
  • 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)

Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

This is for an upcoming session this Saturday. I've never been the kind of person that's into drawing, but I'm GMing my own PTU campaign, and I hated making maps online lol

I've been practicing for about a week now, and I'm pretty happy with this little map.

The setting is a small cave, complete with giant mushrooms, crystals, and a pond, which served as the improvised "break room," for a couple of miners my players found the skeletons of at the end of the last session.

First cocktail made in my new bar! Just moved, and finally have it set up. Lots of decorating left for the new space though.

This is a basic twist on a Daquiri.

  • 3oz Angostura 5 Year Caribbean Rum
  • 1.5oz lime juice
  • .66oz rich symple syrup (.75oz if you use 1:1)
  • 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters

Shake, double strain, and garnish with a lime wedge.

The ultimate brunch cocktail.

Equal parts gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice, shaken and served in an absinthe rinsed coupe.

I think this drink alone is enough reason to keep Lillet on hand. American Fifth is my local distillery; I highly recommend their spirits if you get the chance, but any absinthe will do here.
