Y’know what, with ratios that size I can’t imagine there is anything useful left to say to the main character of the day and no further need to demonstrate consensus disapproval. Further dogpiling seems unnecessary and I think I can safely sit this one out.

Mostly whited-out and anonymised screenshot of two Bluesky posts, with the first one having 420 replies and 295 reposts (presumably largely quotes) and only 18 likes, and the second one having 107 replies, 63 reposts, and only 8 likes.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

The cover of Deep Purple’s album Abandon, with text saying the band name in white and album title in red over a make diver in diving shorts superimposed over a city skyline viewed from a high angle, all under a heavy blue filter.

I think the Audioslave youtube channel might have been hijacked.

The Redwall Cookbook agrees! (Although they hadn’t quite caught up with chilling it.) (Shared because I know you like Redwall.)

Alas I did not save the whole thing with process and everything but here is the intro:

Among the breakfast options at Single Thread is an English menu, with toad-in-the-hole as its centerpiece. Mr.
Connaughton calls it an homage to Heston Blumenthal - the innovative English chef and owner of The Fat Duck — for whom he worked for several years. For the eggs, Mr. Connaughton uses sous-vide techniques: vacuum-sealing the eggs, processing them in a water bath and using a siphon canister. Lacking such equipment in your kitchen, you can still approximate the result by gently and softly scrambling the egg mixture. And if you prefer, even a well-trimmed poached egg can be centered on the toast and cheese. —Florence Fabricant

I DO.

A screenshot of a New York Times recipe title and photo which claims to be Toad-in-the-Hole, a dish which is sausages cooked in batter, but is clearly scrambled egg on toast with grated cheese arranged in a circle around the egg. The original recipe is credited to Kyle Connaughton and adapted by Florence Fabricant.

Red Barn Murder of 1827! There’s a whole wide of Staffordshire commemorative murder pottery (see link for some others) but this is particularly… cutesy. Bucolic. Etc. So it tends to particularly stick in the mind. www.orderofthegooddeath.com/article/vict...

A porcelain figurine of a very pretty little rural red barn, flanked by flowering trees, with a man dressed in a blue coat standing at the open door and gesturing in welcome to a little woman in green shawl, white floral dress and straw hat standing to the left of the barn. In the foreground is a black and white pig on the right and two chickens on the left standing on a field of grass and flowers. There is a written label saying The Red Barn and the integrated stand is dark brown with four clawed feet and little flower garlands around the base.

When I saw Roth with Van Halen, he did indeed stop the show for a bizarre rant. Even put on a short film on the same subject.
What subject?
How much he loves his dogs.
This is what you could've been, Kiddo.

@gonzoengineering4894 • 1 yr ago @LittleGreenSoldier I want to reiterate here that he did not show us his pets.
He showed us a professionally filmed mini documentary about his pets.

None of the other bottles fit together this nicely, but these formed quite satisfying rows in their shared box (mostly Essie and A England, 1 Chanel and a 3ina). I approve.

If you go to Settings, then Accessibility, you can set Bluesky to yell at you to add it before you can post, which I for one definitely need because I forget otherwise
