Easy to say for when you’ve got this sort of security.

George Lucas has an estimated net worth of $5.1 billion to $5.5 billion. As the creator of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises, the bulk of his fortune stems from the $4.1 billion cash and stock sale of his production company, Lucasfilm, to Disney in 2012.Known as the wealthiest film celebrity in the entertainment industry, Lucas largely stepped away from filmmaking following the sale, redirecting his focus to philanthropy and his private foundation. He also self-funds the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, which is based in Los Angeles.

Okay, I’m not willing to share the mix for my birria mix yet, but I tossed a few tablespoons and water into the mushrooms. I’ve not tried a bad premade mix yet, but really like this one if I don’t make my own. spanglishasadero.com

Does he know how much they cost these days? Obviously not. Moving on. I’ve cut one portobello and some leftover pancetta cubes that were discounted at their use by date. (Which is totally made up)

In the hotpot, I’m boiling the small reds that I got for $.99 because they were old? (Washing them, I saw nothing wrong or old) I should explain here that, due to heat, environmental, and health concerns, I use a one burner induction and the electric hot pot when I need a second source.

First step is sautéing a whole sweet onion and some hatch peppers. (I ordered 80# last year and froze, dehydrated, and fermented until my eyes crossed. Sadly, I can’t afford that this year.)

I went just after Snowzilla in 2016. It was beautiful, covered in snow, and my partner and I were the only people there.

This one is better and $20 when not on sale.

Researchers also found that nearly two-thirds of perpetrators had prior contact with law enforcement, underscoring what they describe as missed opportunities for intervention when warning signs appeared across different systems but were not fully connected.

Tradwife with a full-time job including speaking engagements. Hmmm

Savanna Faith Stone, 21, paced the stage on Saturday afternoon in a high-collared, skintight lace dress. She lives in Florida, identifies as a "tradwife" and
hosts a podcast that discusses relationships through a Christian lens. She'd drawn hundreds of thousands of social media followers for sharing her story of getting married at 18, a rebellion against the "rise of radical individualism," as she put it on Saturday.

Of course, she won't respond to my push back that even with our climate change tradeoffs, gas was much cheaper even a year ago, before this administration started its stupid war.

So great that SDSU is selling their alumni lists to whomever.

A flyer, labeled SDSU alumni from Farmers Insurance trying to sell me their wares.

Not as pretty and I added some roasted pepper. So, so, good! Did this in my Ninja toaster oven.

When even Matt Walsh isn't having it:

Matt Walsh Tweet: You really can’t imagine a better way to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday than listening to Trump give a speech for the 10,000th time? Not sure I believe you. At any rate, America’s birthday should not be about Trump. He isn’t the star. The country is.

Second tweet: A Trump rally will be Trump just talking about himself for 90 minutes. Having that as the main act for our 250th would be ridiculous and sad.

He's quote-tweeting this: I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate America’s 250th than a Trump rally, but apparently Gay Guy Matt has better ideas.

My X sent me this pic of a dog he was thinking about adopting. I was like, why are you not picking her up right now?!

Winnie the Dobie mix. She looks like a brown terrier but is already 50lbs and nearly 28” tall.

My adzuki test project, in a vacuum sealed bag looks the same, but reacted a bit different. I had to pop and reseal the bag at about two months in. They say you need air, I’m still testing that.

Gwen@dreadfulpenny· May 10

Checking back in with these today at four months. Not much has changed though the garbanzo ferments have more tamari than the adzuki or mung beans.

We’ve moved on from interviews with rural diners to platform the bs ideas of churches this small.

The church Mr. Partridge founded out of his house with a few people in 2021 now has more than 100 parishioners attending every Sunday, with five to 10 new families joining every year, he said. They're coming from Phoenix and Minnesota and Las Vegas, from Canada and from as far away as Germany.

I got a cat while you were gone. Her name is Lucy. Well, actually his name is Lucy. Long story.

“We’re living off savings” he says. His savings ⬇️

"We don't have a lot of income," Bevin said.
"Frankly, we're living off savings."

JFC, Gad Saad has a new book coming out and it's trash. "What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected."
