A post on threads from user stephens_bens. It reads 'I'll always remember an interview with Steve Buscemi on Bulleye, Jesse Thorn asked him "As an actor with many decades of varied and outstanding roles across your career, does it ever bother you that one of the things you will most be remembered for is a 3-second gif in which you're wearing a backwards baseball cap and carrying a skateboard?"
And without missing a beat, Buscemi replied "I'm carrying *two* skateboards."
And you know what? He is.'
Below that is a screen cap of Buscemi's famous "fellow kids" moment.

A Pepper by any other Name: a chart of fresh and dried peppers. Poblano peppers become Ancho if they're picked when red and dried; they're called Mulato if they're picked when they're dark brown and dried. Mirasol peppers are Guajillo when dried. Chilaca peppers are called Pasilla when dried. Jalapenos, when dried and smoked, are called Chipotles if they're picked when green, and Morita if they're picked when dried. Bola peppers are called Cascabel when they're dried.
TIL!
*Kurt Cobain voice*

Yeah!

@WikiAdam *
Chipotles are not simply dried green jalapeños. They are smoked jalapeños
@Panjandrum As the blog post mentions, both chipotles and moritas are smoked as part of the drying process. If you must be pedantic, please be thorough.

Still refining the typeface I'm working on. I figured at some point I likely need to start trying to promote a few of these side projects on social media.
Then I have to decide what to post. Posting self promo art stuff right now seems trite. The world is burning. Why should anyone care about some dumb font? OK, maybe I should say something about what's going on. At least that means...something? Should I spend time trying to be cute/clever? No, that feels like I'm taking advantage of the bad situation. But I can't say nothing? ARGH. OK. I don't like ICE. I'll just keep it simple.
Fucking hell...EVERYTHING SUCKS RIGHT NOW.
Anyways, back to font making...

For what its worth, I say do whatever art, as Vonnegut says, makes your soul grow. Cute and clever is ok. All that is part of what we are trying to protect from evil.
Right on.
As in: it's a good cause and it looks very 70s and spiffy.
It's ok to make a living. Put on your oxygen mask and such

Receiving an email from yet another professional society about investigating scientists & the Epstein files

While I realize that some of these associations with scientists may actually be innocent so some of the "investigating" is warranted, but so fucking angry at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology for ignoring a problem for years that everyone knew about but was easier to do nothing only now to say jack shit with their stupid press release & town hall "addressing" the issue that I canceled my membership along with lots of other people.
Maybe I can't get my reps in Congress to do what's needed but can affect things on a local level at least.
It's mind blowing just how far spread the rot is and how many seemingly niche communities are being affected by all of this. *screams into pillow*

An illustration on a page, surrounded by dashed lines with scissors icons, letting you know it is to be cut from the page. The illustration is cartoony and just black lines on white.
The illustration shows a person with a cowboy hat and boots falling backwards on to a prickly pear cactus, saying "aaaugh!" The text reads "fascism is a prick! Valentine, let's stick together and abolish ICE!"

Story Time!
After I saw this post- https://mltshp.com/p/1RK2S I was reminded of a hilarious chili pepper related #perutaketwo story that I don't think I shared around these parts...
It concerns me, the chilies pictured above; aji charapita, a tiny restaurant in San Roque, a clearly stated warning and the sort of adventure induced hubris that insists the aforementioned warning be ignored and has laid low more than a few gringos the world over...
Me- Are the peppers hot..?
Guillermo- Yes. They are one of the specialties... but they are very hot. I don't know... maybe... maybe not. You like hot, no?
Me- I like a good vindaloo.
G- Maybe start with one..?
Me- OK!
Then- 😋😚😛😝😜🤪🥴🤢🫠...
Or something like that.
And to my credit I did start with one. But, you know how it goes; they were really, really fucking good. They were also really, really, really fucking hot.
Like melt the soles of your shoes hot.
I also come to find out that in addition to the peppers being hotter than Satan's taint, they are also made in a 1000 year old broth kinda style where the pickle/ferment is recycled into each new batch of peppers. So while the ph is such that any real nasties are minimized my gringo system was unprepared for either the heat of the peppers or the micro-biome associated with them.
I was ill for at least 2 days.
You live, you learn.

A smoggy gray day, with a dim white sun high in the sky. A dark, dully colored figure with a clock key sticking out of its back is drinking from a hose that comes from something that resembles a gas pump: a structure with a small green glowing screen and a circular sign sticking out of the top. The sign has a red triangle on it. The pump itself has a few red stripes, as does the hose. The entire scene is slightly foggy and washed out. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
Wait! Is that a Bass Ale pump?

A scientist placed bait on top of a pencil at location A and moved it a few inches to location B. An ant was shown the bait at location A and brought some of it back to its nest. When it returned looking for the bait it continued to search around point A even though the pencil had been moved nearby. Eventually it enlarged the search area and located the pencil at B.
Squiggly lines show the paths the ant took.

A couple, who were once Cambodian refugees, pose with the American nurses, who saved them, once they escaped to Australia.
"America’s greatest power was never its military reach or economic dominance. It was its humanitarianism. Its civil society. Its capacity, often paradoxically, to challenge its own excesses through moral courage at the margins. That quiet, decentralised force once stood in tension with America’s impulse to police the world. And that tension mattered. It saved lives." Rathana Chea
This article saves until last, who the refugees became.

A drab, gray basement room. Heavy pipes hang from the ceiling. There is little to look at in this place: a white analog clock, a heavy gray door in the wall, the left edge of a bulletin board to the right of it. Under the pipes, a ghostly white figure holds a mop, sweeping a polished dark floor. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
This may not be safe for viewing at work.

I saw the clip of them being thrown. Pretty hilarious, especially when I've sticks to the vehicle!
What do they have in those tactical knee backpacks?
@intervalometer Probably their gas masks…
And hopefully a strap harness, because it would be a waste to not use all those dongs.

Black-and-white photo of a man and a woman walking side by side in an outdoor plaza. The man wears a light short-sleeve shirt, dark pants, and sunglasses, and looks toward the woman. The woman wears a light-colored dress, matching jacket, hat, and heeled sandals, walking toward the camera. A third person walks in the background near a large modern building.

This drink from Tropical Standard incorporates both an egg white and gum syrup for texture, and has a somewhat unusual preparation: dry flash blend, add ice and continue flash blending, then double-strain into your glassware. This results in a highly emulsified drink with a nitro-like texture. All of the ingredients are slightly outside the typical tiki flavor profile, and the inclusion of mezcal and spiced cranberry bitters truly transport you to the drink’s namesake time and place.
Full recipe:
- 5 drops saline solution
- ½ tsp. Bittermens New England Spiced Cranberry Bitters
- ½ oz. egg white
- ½ oz. strained tangerine juice
- ¾ oz. strained lime juice
- ¾ oz. gum syrup
- 2 oz. mezcal
- garnish: grated cassia cinnamon

An illustration on a page, surrounded by dashed lines with scissors icons, letting you know it is to be cut from the page. The illustration is cartoony and just black lines on white.
The illustration shows a teakettle steaming. It has lines to make it look like it is hopping off a surface, and it has an anthropomorphic face that looks angry. There are clouds of steam and hearts in the background. The text reads "I'm a little teapot, short and stout, I'll whistle for freedom and kick ICE out!"
