Enough with "I'm running on COMMON SENSE values." I want absurd values. Clowns on every train. Possum cops. The government pays in live goats. Worms in every gas tank. A war on clouds. It can't go any wronger than what we've already got going on, here.

Keep track of what happens to this claim. It’s pretty straightforward, it either happened or it didn’t. I’ve seen nothing that suggests it did.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

So the state has started "cracking down" on gas station THC and kratom. The gig glass cases must be filled though. Most just double down on vapes. The bold owner of a gas station near me has started filling his with nitrous. Godspeed, you genius.

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

I will say after a few of these that the microplane brand one is definitely sharper/better but also dulls quicker, for an extra 4 bucks

Blood River Flow @pearlriverflow.com · 14h

yeah, I go through one a year, but they're like 10 bucks sooooooo

Blood River Flow @pearlriverflow.com · 15h

if we're being real here, when I use a LOT of garlic (more than 3 cloves) I just smash it all with the broad side of my cleaver, then chop like mad. But for the fine stuff, the microplane is absolutely unbeatable.

Plane grater: these bad boys changed my cooking when it comes to parmesan, garlic, and ginger - which are three of my favorite things

geoffrey, 💀 mode @parsnip.bsky.social · 19h

ok i'm bored so i'm gonna post some small high-utility kitchen stuff i think more people should have. starting with likely the most common: please get a plane grater. garlic, ginger, citrus, cheese, i use it 90% of the time i cook. needs replacing after 9-12 months so no need to splurge, $13 is fine

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."
