Better Made Potato Chips are inferior to the national brands. Their only advantage is that they are a little cheaper. The jalapeño cheddar cheese puffs are the exception that proves the rule.

I'm bringing baked beans and homemade rice krispie treats to our D&D/Memorial Day cookout today. I made the rice krispie treats last night and they are insanely good. We're talking "marshmallow pull" levels of decadence. I'm frying up the bacon and onion for the beans now, the house smells so good.

Made steak and eggs for brunch and now this day is in the running for one of the best of the year.

did both clues by sam AND the wapo crossword without clues, errors, or cheating this morning, nobody can tell me SHIT today

worked myself into a panic thinking my water heater went tits up and was so distracted I dropped my favorite mug in the sink while hand-washing. Only to then remember that the gas company ran a new line to the house and all my appliances need to be re-lit.

Just got out of The Mandalorian and Grogu. Does exactly what it says on the tin. There's the Mandalorian, there's Grogu, and they do exactly what you'd expect the Mandalorian and Grogu to do: get in spaghetti space western hijinks for 2 hours.

@cinquinho.bsky.social Derek is the best character through s1e4 of shrinking

Started off the day frustrated and angry and just got news (2pm meeting I spent all morning frantically preparing for got cancelled) that pushed me straight through “do not tell the papers I am mad” into that depressive post-anger state where you lose all motivation.

I bet this hits like crack if you're incredibly stupid.

Anyone want to really, really, really help Gothlaw/Erik with funding his hopefully lifesaving cancer treatment? Know any huge comic collectors? Let's share this for him in case it will reach the right eyes! Please. ❤‍🩹

DOOM: The Dark Ages's whole deal is basically fan service. "What if we had the doom guy doing shit ripped straight from Heavy Metal?" In the first 5 levels you fly a dragon with laser wings and pilot a giant mech to slay titanic demons. Do not mistake this for a complaint.

45 minutes later and the lazy asshole chore is done. Could do some touch up but it can wait. Now, am I a sweat-soaked mess? Yes. Was I smart enough to remember to close the windows b/c of the heat? Yes. Was I dumb enough to forget to turn on the A/C when I closed the windows? Also yes.

I left my coffee creamer out all day yesterday so I'm trying it with just some sugar this morning and it's... passable. I truly hope I don't become a black coffee nerd, I already have so many insufferable characteristics, I do not need more.

My morning in a nutshell

Cons are really not my thing but this is... actually a pretty decent lineup for a relatively small con? and that's with Shatner, Brent Spiner, and Jonathan Frakes not listed in the screenshot b/c they're mentioned earlier in the article

One of the low key disappointments of the last decade of <waves arms> is that it has killed any desire for me to rewatch Arrested Development. It's going to be years after It Happens for me to take any joy out of it.

S5 of slow horses has so many laugh out loud scenes, it leans hard into the farce

the good news is that I got my warranty replacement screen protector the bad news is that I applied it skewed ever so slightly and I'm sure THAT won't bother me every time I look at it until I get a new phone

one thing's for sure, if you see a question mark in a crossword clue, you're about to see some bullshit

Duel of the Fates and the Mandalorian Theme are the two best themes in Star Wars, better than the main theme and the imperial march by quite a bit.

I’m not saying this is definitely Bruce Campbell but if he WERE in public like that a loud Cookie Monster shirt would not be out of character right??

What product should I look for to reattach this gutter to the wall?

I swear to god I saw Bruce Campbell in a goofy shirt behind the Magic basket trying to distract the shooter during that last FT attempt

Dropped a 15 year old, 3/4 full bottle of car wash soap while cleaning the garage, the plastic shattered like glass.

My siblings are 8, 10, and 12 years older than me and seemed a little shocked by how hard I stomped out any and all usage of the -ie derivative of my name once I started going to school. But even then I knew I was right, that shit had to be nipped in the bud.

This thread is almost entirely correct. The US automakers all made huge investments in electric vehicles and got kneecapped by the policies of the current administration. The thread absolves the big 3 a bit too much, but their missteps were mistakes rather than maliciousness.

listen, man, I was a teen in the 90s so I obviously said some problematic shit and held some problematic views in the past that I regret, but I can say without an ounce of hesitation that I did not have a Nazi phase.

I'm late to the game but Slow Horses is p good.

I just looked up the knicks-hawks score based on some posts hear and actually gasped

I read A Confederacy of Dunces voluntarily and hated every minute of it. I made it about halfway through before I decided I had better things to do with my life.

vampire survivors, a completely normal game

@cinquinho.bsky.social re: s4 Invincible, #JusticeForPaul

You know, I probably shouldn't have let half a tank of gas sit in my my lawnmower all winter, but it IS the most reliable thing I've ever owned so I'll be damned if it didn't eventually turn over. The black smoke it belched out was a bit concerning but it's a champ.

Film you’ve watched more than 6 times with a gif Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli Harder mode: no The Hunt for Red October either

It occurs to me that if I was a smart man I would have held on to this donation until last night when they both got drafted in the 1st round. Ah, well, nevertheless.

the Lions have been all sorts of embarrassing over the years but at least they've never been the kind of embarrassing mess that the Patriots have been the last decade or so

A donation of 474 plus fees in honor of the 474 all purpose yards for Jeremiyah Love (228 rushing, 37 receiving) and Jadarian Price (87 rushing, 9 receiving, 113 kick return) vs. USC, enough to make the cowards at Southern Cal quit the rivalry.

2nd song into this wedding and half the dance floor is doing the Thunderstruck drinking game. And I’m driving so I can’t participate.

I do really love my soon to be niece but 1pm wedding ceremonies are rough.

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

Teenage PAK: "Wow it's sure cool reading old sci-fi and seeing how their predictions came true!" The universe:

Okay well this is my sign to stop scrolling IG for the night

the USS We Built This Yesterday did not die for this shit, what in the hell are they even DOING! Do you want to have a military coup? This is how you have a military coup. I want Trump out ASAP as much as the next person but let's not have a military junta please and thank you.

I got roped into a meeting by a doofus PM just to listen to my bosses yell at him for 10 minutes, this is great.

the fact that the college of cardinals elected a poaster in this exact moment in time is the most convincing evidence of divine inspiration that I've ever seen

Folks,,

This is the new canonical version of Heresy. God DAMN. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3cL...

@janecoaston.bsky.social Jane I just listened to the version of Heresy from Coachella and I want to climb the walls, what the FUCK, how does he do it?
