The classic 4-panel cartoon meme where a woman’s brain tells her something disturbing while she’s trying to sleep. Panel 1: BRAIN: “Hey, are you going to sleep?” Panel 2: WOMAN: (eyes closed) “Yes, shut up” Panel 3: BRAIN: “Trent Reznor backwards is Ron Zertnert” Panel 4: (Woman, lying speechless in the dark, with eyes wide open)

It may not seem like it but this is an advertisement. Dave is selling you a lie. The average family making $79k a year cannot afford to plunk away $1k a month much less get a 13% ROI on that money. He's telling you you're bad with money and your answer is to follow him and do what he does.

The thing of it with these "I work all week" chumps is that even in a world where she is a stay at home mom and he's the only source of income, that still doesn't mean you get to check out on the weekend and leave it all to her. And chances are damn good you're not the only source of income.

Even with as piss poor of a job as he's doing, even with as much passing off decisions to his courtiers as he's done, and even with as little pushback as he's getting from so much of America, it's still too much for him.

A perverse charisma and a media that's eager to lie on his behalf is the magic that keeps Trump afloat. Vance has neither. Near as I can tell, no one wants to be in the room with him longer than they have to while folks are STILL scraping and pleading for the approval of Weekend at Bernie's POTUS.

He is, and there's no part of any of this that should be taken as 'good' but I'll still take him in a heartbeat over Trump. Even ignoring the fact that it's really bad for a guy who's losing his mind as he gets closer to death has nuclear launch codes, Vance is fundamentally weaker than Trump.

MEAT: FIN

One of the pork butts. Cooked a bit fast and lost some juices that were kept safe in the aluminum pan I put it in. Damn good pulled pork, though it mostly tasted like (very good) regular pulled pork to me. Nice and tender, good smoke color, decent smoke and salt flavor. Not sure the Taro leaves added much, but they at least add some visual disti ction when shredded up. Damn good smoke. Obligatory photo of the dish itself. Yummy chunks of pork with some rice to balance the richness. Also a Monster can, but I had very little to do with making that.

MEAT!!!

Three hours smoking at 225 has given them a real strong red color. No particular drying out and could've probably been smoked uncovered for longer but we've got most of the smoke flavor into them so we might as well wrap 'em now. Butt one getting wrapped. Wrapping it in the taro leaves is interesting, not normally how I do it in a world where foil is available but it's a good day for a little experimentation. Still wrapping it in foil afterwards, of course, looking to keep as much of the steam in there as possible but I still punched a hole in it for the temp probe. Second butt, same as the first. These leaves are going to be nothing but plant fiber and pork fat by the end of this process and I'm looking forward to them.

You can't fool me, that's clearly Ham Rove! Good to see he's still getting work.

I can't say I've had any particularly negative experiences with Webb in my time on the Internet, but this (unless it's some sort of performance art that I'm missing because I don't follow him regularly) is pretty disappointing.

It's really funny to steal valor and then have it come out that you were literally diverting aid from the victim you said you were helping

I think you're failing to notice the pink sauce here, which I would also not care to have on a burger. As for what they really are? Probably fairly generic ketchup/mayonaise/etc but with food coloring. It's "probably" fine but a visual disaster all the same.

It makes me emotional to see Judge Sooknanan showing that she values each individual child’s life at a moment when this administration is doing exactly the opposite

MEAT!!

The meat's been in the smoker for about an hour and a half. This is actually my first time using straight mesquite pellets instead of the generic competitor's blend I tend to get from Costco. Noticing a lot more red color to the meat as it smokes versus the regular approach but tough to say if that's something with the pellets themselves or just the way the smoke's going today. Got about an hour and a half more with them loose then I'm gonna wrap 'em in the taro leaves and then either butcher's paper or foil, but I'm kinda leaning towards foil on this one. Both do the job just fine, but part of the concept here is to steam the meat over a long time and the foil should do a better job of trapping all of the moisture. Plus I suck at wrapping with butchers paper still and am not in the mood to be experimenting too much.

I need someone to write a fanfic of Grand Nagus Rom and Emperor Vir Cotto having drinks together because those two had quite the long, strange trips to get to where they ended up.
