A painting depicting a scene from Moby Dick, where Captain Ahab stands on his ship facing an impossibly huge white whale. All we clearly see of the whale is the eye; the rest is the whiteness of hsi head and it takes up the whole painting.

Man this makes me want to go do a quick search on Newspapers.com... aaaand... Oh no... I may be falling down a rabbit hole of the development of the idea of cosmic horror before Lovecraft. Here's Feb 3, 1905, from the Larned (Kansas) Chronoscope:
A quote from a newspaper titled "Of Cosmic Horror". The key quote is: "Scarcely a friend of mine will look steadily at the clear midnight sky for a minute in silence. The freezing of the heart follows, the appalling shudder at the dread contemplation of infinity, which may be called cosmic horror, is more than can be endured."

I think we're ready here too. Used brisket for the first timethis year because I had one. Used beans because kosher meat is expensive as hell and you gotta stretch it out a bit.

OK! 5 likes so far, so instead of going through the games I already play, which most of you know, I'm going to highlight some cool games that I haven't yet had a chance to play. First is ORUN by @bggameworks.bsky.social and others. A *beautiful* game with a fun setting. Want to explore it soon!
Text describing how to create a character for one faction of the game called "Oyan", and art depicting a male and female character in futuristic tunics.A sci-fi style map of a galaxy labeled "KNOWN SPACE," depicting areas of space belonging to different factions in the ORUN world.Cover of the game book for "ORUN" by Misha Bushyager, Jerry D Grayson, and Eloy Lasanta. The subtitle is "Post-Apotheosis, Afro-centric, Space Opera."

I made the Times' Cranberry Curd Tart this morning, but on a friend's advice I used Clare Saffitz's sweet tart crust instead of the Times' hazelnut one. I've never made a pastry crust before. I've never made curd before. I think it came out OK but this was TERRIFYING. Not quite ready for GBBO!

I guess I'm kinda basic, but it's the Warthog, always, even though it's associated more with post-Cold War conflicts. I will also shamelessly pander to our Canadian friends by shouting out the Avro Arrow.

B-5 is going to be suitably covered so I'm going to go video-games for a minute and salute the Longbow from Wing Commander. Had a lot of fun in this thing!
