Had to wait 10 minutes for my mobile order because the Dunks was swamped. September 11 is a day that will live in infamy.

People can criticise Leni Riefenstahl for her opinions all they want but the fact remains she taught love for the moving image to a generation of German children. And I don't expect everyone to understand, but when the Sorting Hat made me a Scharführer, it was a formative moment in my childhood.

I bought the fancy Masienda masa harina last weekend and finally took it for a spin. They say the poor craftsman blames his tools, but sometimes he's right! Better texture, more flavor, raw tortillas are firmer and easier to transfer to the griddle, and I went four for four on the full puff.

When I'm dictator, it will be mostly fine if you're cool, but if you call it shawarma or gyros or al pastor I am sending armed inspectors to verify the presence of that vertical spit thingy. No spit, no life.

Thank you to everyone who liked my post. I couldn't have done it without the person I QTd and the GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Feels like cheating to say "The Dispossessed" by Ursula K. LeGuin, "Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler, or that whole "Broken Earth" trilogy by N.K. Jemisen, but what are you gonna do, not read speculative fiction?

It's very fitting that the admittedly small number of Russian leftists I've encountered online seemingly all bought Twitter premium so they could post nine paragraph screeds back and forth at each other. It is in fact exactly what Lenin would have done.

Sorry, but the "Ukraine" Laura Loomer supports is not a free, democratic country, but a new place on which to project the image she and folks like her previously had of Russia as a white Christian ethnostate upon realizing that image was more or less just the Kremlin gassing them up.

Glad to have gotten to watch some baseball this evening.

View of the Sox/Jays game from the pavilion at Fenway. A friend's company seats were free tonight and they got them.

I'm a long time The Long Dark fan, but man, I just played part 5 and it was dogshit. I get the feeling they had to rush it, which, yeah, probably. The "big reveal" didn't land for me, but I could forgive that if the gameplay leading up to and surrounding it wasn't full of baffling decisions.

US defeats Bosna. Bloodied, but still standing. Just when they start to head off the field, a second health bar appears. "Hercegovina, the Duke of the Mountains" rises from below. Orchestra goes crazy.

I love these Grainger ads where it's like "When you're an ice cream machine technician at a third-rate water park, you know that every scoop counts. That's why Grainger has exactly what you need, like thermocouples and number six paddle attachments to quickly get your cream churning again.

I was worried about World Cup traffic fucking up the T, but by God were getting 3 minute headways on a weekend. I hope the Scotland and Haiti fans realize this is not normal.
