L'Etoile du Nord, motherfuckers.
A stone casserole dish with a hotdish which reads FUCK ICE written in tater tots over French's onions so you don't have to argue which is better. Fuck ICE! Recipe to follow. Fuck ICE Hotdish 2 lbs mild sausage 8 oz mushrooms 1 onion, diced medium 2 packages green beans 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup milk French's onions Tater tots Fry pork, onions, and mushrooms. Meanwhile, steam green beans to bright green, or thaw if using frozen. Add soup, milk, & steamed green beans to pork mixture and stir until mixed. Pour into a 9x13 pan and top with onions and tater tots with the exhortation to abolish an agency which is terrorizing and killing people at the direction of an administration run by a convicted felon, an administration which is illegally still sitting on the Epstein files. Bake at 350º for 45 min.

Friendly reminder to please be kind to and patient with the folks driving the plows this week. They want up be in pajamas sipping cocoa with their families, but instead they're out in this nasty shit at crazy hours so the rest of us can be safe.

another Tuesday, another Firehouse primary. And since there are no official "I voted" stickers, we're repping these gems from @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social instead

(Yes I know these stickers were for last week's primary, but I didn't get them in time)
brilliant woman and scruffy man smile after voting and hold up stickers that read: "Alexandria decides again" , and in tiny text around the outside, " I did not run for sd39 in 2026 and all I got was this sticker"

He had salt and pepper hair. And oregano eyebrows. His lips were basil leaves. His entire head was a jar of Italian seasoning

How the Mike Johnson Shut Down started, vs how it's going now
how it started, expressed by two skeletons sitting around drinking wine and appearing to laugh as their jaws hang slack how it's going, expressed as two costumed dead slumped on a bench

Happy Mole Day, everyone! 10 to the 23 is a biiiiig number. Here are some incredible drawings from @chemscrapes.bsky.social illustrating the bigness of moles and the smallness of atoms and molecules.
A ChemScrapes illustration showing how big a mole of eggs would be. The size would be roughly that of 5 moons. The image shows two people staring up at 5 moons. The person on the left asks, "Mum, what are the moons made from?." The person on the right says, "A mole of eggs, Dear." An image by ChemScrapes showing how far a mole of gasoline (octane, by approximation) will take your car. The image on the left shows a car filling up with a mole of gas. The image on the right shows that the car has traveled just over a mile before the gas runs out. An image from ChemScrapes showing that a mole of Skittles would fill the Atlantic ocean. An image from ChemScrapes showing a person (me ... I'm the person) reading directions to add a mole of water, roughly 3.5 teaspoons, to a recipe. The person (ahem ... me) says, "Now, let's see ... 1 mole of water ... 3 1/2 teasppons? Doesn't seem like a lot!"

Snacks for #drbc brought to you but the government shutdown. Cream cheese and pesto stuffed peppers. Messy, but tasty.
