Neat, thanks!

Hi! I’m an internet rando and this came across my discover feed! I strive to make good eggplant. Did you brine or salt this before stir-frying? I know Japanese eggplant is easier to work with than the mongo globular western varieties.

I ran out of words eight years ago to describe how much I despise this cruel, racist, idiotic administration. But yet, I strive.

Also, we rewatch the show every year and would you believe it? It really holds up!

My impetus to do this was first learning Mondo was releasing sets of the figurines from the show. Thinking it would make a great gift, I went to the site to learn they 1. were a $150 2. were already sold out

For my kid’s 17th(!) birthday I made her this sculpture of Enoch from Over the Garden Wall. It’s the first time I’ve made any kind of 3D project since college and the process was clumsy, despite the character being a sphere on a cylinder. Still though, a lot of fun and I think it turned out alright!

How could anyone be sad when they live so close to the Leinenkugel brewery?

I reserve my darkest thoughts for him and not a single one troubles my soul.

In Crusaders of the Dark Savant they had the classic D&D-defined porcine appearance, but I can’t say how they were presented earlier. The example you’re sharing certainly looks more like the classic troll type.

The only thing worse than having a job is looking for one.

Alien parasites have more natural delivery than this guy.

Apple pie! Not my best. I should have left it in the oven for at least five more minutes for the crust, and the filling was too dry. But! Lattice work!

A not great but perfectly serviceable apple pie.

my first question for every 2028 candidate: what will you do to stephen miller?

Careful, you seem to be demonstrating an excess of yellow bile.

But Ken Paxton couldn’t have been in Dubai that New Years! He was here with me all night at the orphanage! Trying to figure out the best way to extract all the money we had laundered through the facility.

It’s especially egregious because those 90’s figures were still riding the post-He-Man aesthetic with completely massive chests and bow-legged physiques. 70’s: cocaine-thin. 80’s onwards: Steroidal bruisers. It’s a deep misunderstanding of your depicted era.

No matter what women think they may have to contribute to the conservative cause, it’s always going to hit the ass ceiling.

If any bloated republican alpha rep had to deal with a single one of what Omar has been dealing with for her entire life they’d be huffing and blubbering at the unfairness of it all.

I have yet to see any creative application of AI to justify the ethical, economic, and environmental cost, but it sure isn’t a glorified Ken Burns pan.
