It's almost like when you do what the electorate is asking, you earn their support! I sure hope the Dems finally learn that this time
The dangerous threats of an old man don’t create jobs, protect our rights, or keep us safe.
That's a great line from her campaign manager. I love how much they've turned around the old man thing.
And Trump talking about how you can't burn the flag in Russia, China, or North Korea shows once again he wants to be a dictator. He probably doesn't even realize he would be breaking the first amendment
Musk is already a problem for national security, if we're going to use Starlink even more, the government needs to just seize the company
I think Tesla floundering so much right in the middle of the EV boom is proof that there is such a thing as bad publicity
I haven't been there since, and what I specifically remember the most is being frustrated because I was too weak to get the water guns by the base to shoot properly (though it's only in retrospect that I realized the reason). My parents hadn't talked to me about that part of the trip before I mentioned that to my mom a few years ago, and she was surprised I remembered.
I don't remember any of the time around it, and obviously I can't prove it's a real memory, but memories do last longer when they're associated with intense emotions, and children's emotions are especially intense. If that was the first time I was ever frustrated like that, I think it would make sense that it stuck
He's a Ranger. He's got weird magic powers that don't come up much, and he's from a band of fighters outside normal society
She's still Biden's VP. If she were to break from the administration's stance, it could be very bad for her
Not that I actually expect her to differ from Biden much
I remember seeing the Space Needle on a trip to Seattle when I was two and a half. Surprisingly, different people can have different experiences
That first sentence is just not true. The childless left are the ones fighting for the future, while the right does their best to burn the world for quarterly profits
That's just what we've figured out how to test with computers
Religion exists because it's a way to control people you can't reason with for whatever reason. It's definitely a net negative now, and has been for centuries imo, but back at the beginning it was an important cornerstone of civilization
It's about the table full of Nazis
If managing your wealth is a full-time job, just hire another person. If getting whatever you want doesn't make you happy, it's not the money's fault, you just don't know what you want. Do some self-actualizing and try again on Monday
I haven't finished the show yet, but John Hurt seems pretty chill in Merlin
The Apiarist
This is a personal creation, so I apologize if the name is already taken.
*1.5oz gin *1oz Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro *.75oz honey syrup *.5oz lemon juice
Shaken and served with an expressed lemon peel, and a dash of Hummingbird Bitters
He tries so hard because he doesn't want to be remembered as "the other Captain Ransom"
It must be hard to eclipse the Equinox
Orion Hurricanes for the Star Trek Lower Decks finale tonight
Unfortunately, you can't get real Orion Dulac in Michigan, so this is my take on what Mariner would have served Those Old Scientists
- 1.5oz White rum (I used Plantation 3 Star)
- .75oz Cinnamon syrup
- .75oz Lime juice
- .5oz Absinthe (I used what they make at my local distillery, American Fifth)
- .5oz John D. Taylor Velvet Falernum Liqueur
- 1 barspoon Blue curaçao (for colour)
Shake, and double strain. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, and slowly pour in two barspoon of grenadine so that it sinks to the bottom. This could also be swapped for butterfly pea flower syrup, which is purple. I just wanted the grenadine flavor

My first complete battle map
This is for an upcoming session this Saturday. I've never been the kind of person that's into drawing, but I'm GMing my own PTU campaign, and I hated making maps online lol
I've been practicing for about a week now, and I'm pretty happy with this little map.
The setting is a small cave, complete with giant mushrooms, crystals, and a pond, which served as the improvised "break room," for a couple of miners my players found the skeletons of at the end of the last session.
The Captain's Blood
First cocktail made in my new bar! Just moved, and finally have it set up. Lots of decorating left for the new space though.
This is a basic twist on a Daquiri.
- 3oz Angostura 5 Year Caribbean Rum
- 1.5oz lime juice
- .66oz rich symple syrup (.75oz if you use 1:1)
- 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
Shake, double strain, and garnish with a lime wedge.
Corpse Reviver No.2
The ultimate brunch cocktail.
Equal parts gin, orange liqueur, Lillet Blanc, and lemon juice, shaken and served in an absinthe rinsed coupe.
I think this drink alone is enough reason to keep Lillet on hand. American Fifth is my local distillery; I highly recommend their spirits if you get the chance, but any absinthe will do here.
A Classic Sidecar
Mostly wanted to post because I feel like I did a really good job on the sugared rim lol
This is one of my favorite cocktails
1.5oz brandy .75oz orange liqueur .75oz lemon juice
Shake, double strain, serve in a glass with a sugared rim, and garnish with a orange twist. I expressed mine.
Not a reflection on meme quality, but on meme alignment
Maybe a little too meta, but I think we could use Dukat for memes specifically meant to express funny, but bad, opinions
Nuclear Daquiri in leaded crystal (for safety)
It's been a while, but I got some new glassware, and wanted to try it out. I felt like a Nuclear Daquiri was appropriate for leaded crystal. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my own tastes, I'll denote that below
- 1oz Overproof White Rum - Wray and Nephew
- .5oz White Rum - Plantation 3 Star (omit for basic recipe)
- .66oz Galliano (Green Chartreuse for basic recipe)
- .75oz Lime Juice
- .33oz Falernum
Shake and double strain, garnish however you like
Sidewinder's Fang
I've got a garnish this time!
- 1.5oz Blended black rum - Plantation OFTD
- 1.5oz Aged rum - Plantation 5 Year
- 1.5oz Orange juice
- 1.5oz Lime juice
- 1.5oz Passionfruit syrup
- 3oz Club soda to top
Shake with ice and strain into a glass with more ice. Top with club soda. Garnish with a mint sprig and a sidewinder
