I am, unfortunately, dealing with a gnarly headache and not up to photoshopping anything tonight, but I did dig up this one I made a while ago sorry, Scotland

I’ve eaten there! the sliced brisket is excellent, but the smoked chicken doro, the brisket sambusas, and the Texas sheet cake with berbere-spiced pecans are even better

A plastic basket full of brisket sambusas (Ethiopian cousins of samosas) with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce.

Smoke ‘n’ Ash’s sampler platter, with a layer of injera at the bottom, a large portion of smoked chicken doro in the middle, and two portions each of injera-seasoned brisket, tibs (an Ethiopian stir-fry) made with rib tips, collard greens, red lentil stew, and bread rolls.

A to-go container with a slice of Texas chocolate sheet cake, topped with berbere-spiced pecan pieces.

just realized that I know what the Ominous Megastructure in @cooperlund.online’s original post is because it’s also the signature Ominous Megastructure of Columbia, South Carolina

The AT&T microwave cone antenna tower in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. Its ominousness is enhanced by the brewing storm clouds behind it.

treat-seeking missile

A smallish Black Mouth Cur mix stands in a kennel play yard. The camera is so close to his face that his nose is the same size as the entire back half of his head, and his one visible paw is smaller than his eyes.

lacing corsets so tightly that the wearer couldn’t breathe well was at its peak in the mid-1800s and wasn’t common even then this Dior New Look corselet is more typical for ‘50s formalwear, and while it is structured, it’s much lighter and less compressing than Victorian foundation garments

A 1950s black corselet with attached petticoat from Dior’s “New Look” era. The corselet has a high sweetheart neckline, a waist seam (which may contain boning) at the natural waist, and five strips of boning down the front and sides. The panels between the boning channels are made of multiple layers of net fabric. The corselet is tapered to fit close to the body, but wouldn’t compress the wearer as much as earlier corsets.

all of us out here like

An illustration from Hyperbole and a Half’s “Wolves,” in which half a dozen little girls with wide eyes and mouths full of pointy teeth pretend to be wolves taking down a “deer,” played by a startled teenage boy babysitting them at a birthday party.

A post from Lauren (@NotABigJerk): i’m not falling for that hot take. that’s clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at. i refuse to participate in that kind of perversion.

One of the Uzbek fans dressed as a mounted warrior, doing what I can only describe as “aura farming.”

Uzbek soccer fans are my new favorite type of dude

One of a group of at least three Uzbek soccer fans in Houston who are on horseback, suited up in full late-medieval Central Asian cavalry armor, and wearing Uzbek flags as capes.

I can’t decide whether I like your version of Daichi Kamada or the Monterrey HEB’s watermelon carving of him more

A watermelon on display in the produce section of an HEB grocery store in Monterrey, Mexico. Someone has very carefully carved Japanese soccer player Daichi Kamada’s face into the melon.

2. replaced a builder-grade bathroom light fixture with one of my choosing, learned how to disassemble and reassemble a sink drain after dropping two screws down it (and only afterwards realizing that I should have closed the drain), and uttered many curses in the process
