In a mood where I want to write about a mean, large rabbit girl doing mean, large rabbit girl things, whatever those may be

@azure Yeah, I do have an all-metal one which I decided not to use for no good reason—I think I'll be going back to it for the foreseeable future. :) The good news is that I just managed to finally separate the glass and metal without denting/breaking either one. (I use that pint glass as my mixing glass for stirred drinks, so I'm mostly happy I didn't have to replace it—the "mostly" in that if I had, I'd have looked for a prettier old school speakeasy-ish one.)

I mixed a piña colada daiquiri in a Boston shaker—a pint glass stuck in a larger metal mixing cup, like most bars use. The glass is so stuck it just won't dislodge, even after waiting an hour. I gave up and had a too-boozy double IPA.

Argh, somehow my Mastodon client ate the punchline for that photo, which defeats the entire point. Sigh. I reallllly wish the Twitterrific folks would have gone through with Tooterrific…

Truly modern capitalism's finest moment

I accidentally boosted that post about mild cheddar, but then thought, "yes, that take is correct" and let it stand #noxp

Still derailing myself: that view from far too close to Red Savina's paw, looking up to see that the towering dragon-canine hasn't even noticed you at all. Then, as that immense paw lifts, you look up again, and now she's looking directly at you~

I have completely derailed myself for the evening thinking about Red Savina's giant digitigrade coyote paws. And the rest of her—but the view from ground level.

Me: This part of Savina's characterization needs work.
Muse: *scribbles suggestion*
Me: Oh. That could fix it!
Muse: see, I just have to think like a giant rampaging dragon-coyote
Me: How?
Muse: method acting
Me: Uh—
Muse: you didn't need that suburb, did you

Making notes on what to fix in the next draft of the Red Savina screenplay. I would still love to see it done as a graphic novel—I wonder if that's a reasonable IndieGogo project. Hmm. (Assuming I could find an artist willing to go in on it, which is a big ask.)

POUTINE TATER TOTS

@azure sounds neat! One of the ones in our flights was a dry blueberry mead. But still Apple, not maple. :)

I am not saying this banana mead with macadamia nut, coffee, cacao, and vanilla is good, I am just saying I could bathe in it

Visiting a cider tap house with Kitana. I have a flight of three ciders and a mead.

I rarely do “yes, this” links, but this eloquently explains a lot of my recent feelings (and stress). https://kottke.org/20/02/our-belligerent-political-process

@IceWolf @azure I'm reasonably optimistic "Picard" won't take the AI-is-always-evil route. The plot revolves around Data's "daughters", after all! I get more of an implication that the synths were non-malevolent AIs taken over for villainous purposes.
