Garum, check!

Picture of my Matiz Flor De Garum

The box is a dark yellow with red lettering “FLOR DE GARUM” with parallel black lines spaced apart and text between in black lettering saying “Premium Spanish Fish Sauce”. Further down there is the stylized black lettering emblem for “MATIZ” The Spanish food. There is a white sticker between the two main texts with a bunch of weird letter and spelling that can only make sense if you speak the foreign language it’s writing in, maybe French, idk, cause I don’t speak it.

If you want to know things like font types and sizes, get one of the people who knows that too. I cannot answer such questions after dealing with my mini me. I was such a jerk as a kid. My kid is really making that clear.

Fuck the men who agree with this bullshit! Women too, but right now we’re talking about the men ruining the world and cannot be bothered to care about half the population beyond sex and service. You suck!!

Screen grab of section from my The 19th daily news letter under the section of things we should know. It says:

There's a new teen pregnancy prevention plan — though it's not that focused on prevention.
The Trump administration will steer millions of dollars toward organizations that emphasize anatomy, fertility tracking, hormonal production and "reproductive goals counseling."

Don’t even get me started on the WTA’s genetic testing requirements. Leave the Dolls alone assholes. And the Gents too!

I just want to scream!!!!!

The reading of the section is clear and has zero crazy conspiracy theory:

Screen grab of actual bill sec 224:

This section would require the Secretary of Defense to designate an executive agent responsible for synchronizing cooperative efforts between the United States and Israel, including bilateral defense technology research development, testing, evaluation, integration, and industrial cooperation.”

I’m really feeling Carl:

Image is text quoting Carl Sagan:

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

A friend of mine was reading a book that he just loved and said it was the best book for managing and dealing with people. Asked what it was and he handed it to me stating “go read it!” The book:

Image of the Amazon page for Jan Fennell’s “The Dog Listener: Learn How to Communicate with Your Dog for Willing Cooperation”

The front book cover is Jan walking in a field with a bunch of good boys and girls of various breeds but German Shepherds and Spaniels seem dominate with many tongues out.

Enormous Self-Aware Wolves energy from that NYT article

Cropped screen grab from NYT article on youths at CPAC (gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/style/cpac-scene-maga.html) quoting an attendee:

“It's very cultish here," said Mr.
Bolick, 30, who was attending CPAC for the first time. "It seems like boomers are just on this Trump train," he added.

Screen grab of the interview with Suebsaeng in the article (https://newrepublic.com/article/207322/transcript-trump-blurts-damning-iran-admission-maga-cracks); it says:

“President Trump and the rest of the gang running the federal government right now are going about this with the exact same level of nobility and care and solemn posture that you or I would take while flipping through Hulu trying to find something new to watch.”

Tanton Network

Screen Grab of SPLC’s write up of Hardin with relevant section highlighted and John Tanton’s name further highlighted in yellow highlight. Sections states:

Hardin also published numerous articles in far-right publications, including The Social Contract, a nativist magazine founded by anti-immigration activist John Tanton and edited by Wayne Lutton, and Chronicles, a far-right magazine controversial even among conservatives for its racism and anti-Semitism.

So… I Hate this guy! WTF

Screen grab from the Wikipedia link above states (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard):

In Rothbard's view of parenthood, "the parent should not have a legal obligation to feed, clothe, or educate his children, since such obligations would entail positive acts coerced upon the parent and depriving the parent of his rights."[161 Thus, Rothbard stated that parents should have the legal right to let any infant die by starvation and should be free to engage in other forms of child neglect.
However, according to Rothbard, "the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children". In a fully libertarian society, he wrote, "the existence of a free baby market will bring such 'neglect' down to a minimum" [161] Economist Gene Callahan of Cardiff University, formerly a scholar at the Rothbard-affiliated Mises Institute, wrote that Rothbard

FU Airbnb, a tax on short term rentals is not a tax on WA working families. It’s a tax on PE and the goons who agree with them. Working families would love to buy a family home without PE outbidding them. Working families want housing and not PE controlled rentals. Cannot believe you texted this!

Screen grab of text I received today, and it says:

Say NO to the Vacation Tax!

Did you know politicians in Olympia are proposing new taxes on short-term rentals? This means our vacations could get a lot more expensive. Tell your legislators to oppose any proposed Vacation Tax by clicking here https://.

Bandcamp is saying no to Ai!

Screen grab of the Relix blurb from my email about Bandcamp saying no to Ai generated music. It says:

Bandcamp Bans Al-Generated Music
•bandcamp
AI & THE
BANDCAMP COMMUNITY

The rise of generative artificial intelligence has led to an unmistakable deluge of Al filler on digital music platforms. These uploads have made headlines at their most egregious, including the Velvet Sundown raking in more than 500,000 monthly listeners for algorithmic psychedelia, Breaking Rust's ascent to the top of Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's Al clone, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

What the fuuu………!

Screen grab from article about this racist misogynist asshole from: https://azmirror.com/briefs/craig-brittain-racist-misogynist-texts/

Text is in the normal black with blue hyperlinks everywhere, because who needs to touch their screen without it going somewhere else? Lots of words with a yellow highlighter pen circling a short paragraph maybe. Who knows, writing has gone to shit. This is the section that caught my attention. It states:

“Brittain, who has run unsuccessfully for the same seat in the past, is most well known for owning a now-defunct revenge porn website.”

Who the fuck starts and owns a revenge porn website. What kind of fucked up shit is that? I would ask the federal government to investigate, but they would hire this asshole as head of the fbi or some shit. Secretary of the interior, maybe.

@mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social , you’re a chef. I’m in need of help. I ordered a cut of Wagyu flat iron steak online and I received this cast iron. I’m looking for cooking, serving, and how to eat instructions. I’m thinking molten iron lava cake dessert, but you’re the pro so idk.

Picture showing the not a flat iron steak but instead showing a shiny bronze colored cast iron pan with light reflecting off and into the bottom of the pan giving an appearance of spokes in the bronze wheel. And, like most wheels I cannot eat this cast iron pan.

DC Federal Grand Juries need to keep holding strong. Hold the line!!

Screen grab of last paragraph in wusa9.com’s article about the man charged with federal assault charges for sharing his sandwich with a Nazi. Dunn is not a Nazi. He shared the sandwich with aplomb and created the HERO sandwich. It says:

“Prosecutors will have 30 days to seek a grand jury indictment for Dunn. In a hearing Thursday just before Dunn's, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office was forced to admit it had twice sought indictment of a D.C. woman this week on the exact same charge as Dunn — and twice been rejected. That woman, Sydney Reid, was accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an inmate transfer with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”

Haha. My wife said almost the exact thing during a chat. I may have taken it places. For context, she hates dill pickles and anything they or their juice touches must be destroyed.

Text convo with wife about Hormel dill pickle flavored pepperoni:

Me: Did an executive at Hormel get upset that pickles would get unpleasant during the pizza making and order staff to figure out a way to make his dill pickle and pepperoni pizza dreams come true? This shit is taking up space in my cluttered head and I need it out

Wife: Burn it with fire

Me: My head? That'll hurt but it might work. You've always looked out for me. I'll go to the stove and try.

Wife: sent image of do not enter sign

Me: I'm burning my head with Focus turned on. I'll see your message when the flames get put out.

Me: Would have been better had it been sent right away, but...

Truncated image of the cat in my lap.

Mad Crayon@mtnsnark· Aug 15

I can’t even with this. Just, NO! Bad Hormel, bad.

Picture I took at the Qrogersafemeyer (QFC, Kroger, Safeway, Fred Meyer mash up. Still working on it) store:

It’s a package of Hormel Pepperoni, now dill pickle flavored. You know this because the package has a nice picture of a dill pickle toothpicked onto a slice of pepperoni that sits upon a slice of white bread. Just bread, pepperoni and a dill pickle sitting there to tempt you. You can almost taste the nausea. Bravo Hormel!

Found a new account that is totally worth it. Also, I just discovered that the author of this Equal Justice Society piece is the author of one of the children’s book we use to teach our kids about diversity and acceptance.

Screen grab of quote from @mtylerwrites.bsky.social children’s book “The Skin You Live In”

“ And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our wonderful hues..

We all make a beauty so wonderfully true. We are special and different, and just the same, too!

So whenever you look at your beautiful skin, from your wiggling toes to your giggling grin...

Think how lucky you are that the skin you live in, so beautifully holds the "You" who's within.”
