I'm cooking more these days, so I'm obligated to share the photos on the socials, so here's a corned beef hash I made for lunch. It's pretty ugly, but at least it tasted good.

A bowl of corned beef hash topped with a fried egg. The potatoes are too light and the meat looks questionable, in the poster's opinion.

I can only assume that the owner of this vehicle has enormous genitals

Black truck with a camper cover and oversized dualies on the back which appear to be after-market. It's hyper masculine, but in a rather silly way

True story: for about three days I was in a Christian ska band called The Flying Buttresses. "Ska" was, sadly, purely aspirational.

We did a WWI tour in and around Ypres today. It was sobering.

I'm always amused by the existence of books like this. "Here's how three disparate technologies are all actually one thing and it's gonna be pure utopia, lemme tell ya!"

Cover of the book "Superconvergence: How the Genetics, Biotech, and AI Revolutions Will Transform Our Lives, Work, and World" by Jamie Metzel (Author of "Hacking Darwin). The design is colorful, sciency, and optimistic.

Been a good weekend for acquiring stuff in my two favorite nerdy fantasy franchises! If I'd gotten a Cosmere book I would have hit the trifecta!

We could make the obvious joke about reading comprehension, but I'd rather wonder about a car culture where the ability to buy something this big entitles you to ignore rules and norms that you find inconvenient
