Gävlebocken idea: The city of Gävle should have a raffle. The winning raffle ticket is a get-out-of-jail-free card for a goat arsonist. It's not a promise that the winner will get to burn it. The city is still gonna try to prevent the goat from fulfilling its sacred duty protect the goat, but now there's an arsonist who won't face consequences if they pull it off. The city doesn't know who it is; they can't pass out flyers to be on the look out for this person in particular. But SOMEONE has the ticket with the winning number.

A hole-in-the-wall ethnic grocery i went to in college had "live" crabs. Turned out to be accurate! They were alive on Tuesday when they were delivered. The following Monday, at the end of a week of being picked over by customers pawing through the ice bin... less so much.

I'm doing Dracula Daily for the first time this year after watching excitedly in previous years and I would like to share my recipe for chicken hendl/paprikash, somewhat based on my (slovak) grandmother-in-law's recipe. And for a slow cooker and a big batch.

The best part of this recipe, for me, is the memory of my mom copying it down for another family member and stopping to say "Excuse me does this say a quarter CUP of paprika??"

3+ lbs boneless chicken (we usually use thighs, obviously if you want to use something with bones just account for the weight. Recipe also works with rabbit.) 1.5 cup chicken broth black pepper 1 Tbsp butter 1/4 cup paprika (we use spanish because we can get that in bulk, please report back on results of what you use. Caution against using smoked because it gets to be Too Much very quickly.) 1 tsp marjoram, or thyme if you don't have marjoram on hand because who does 1 red bell pepper, in strips 1 shallot, in thin slices, or an onion, we just use shallot because I hate the texture and this way there's less of it 3 Tbsp tomato paste (~50g) . 1/2 cup sour cream, light is fine 1 Tbsp flour 3/4 tsp salt . carb to serve over (noodles/dumplings are probably most traditional, we like mashed potatoes)

Everything in the first section, into the slow cooker, about 3-4 hours on low or until stuff falls apart. (chicken breast doesn't always fall apart as well until you start stirring and poking at it.)

Mix the last 3 ingredients together and add to the pot, let heat through with the lid off while you prepare your carbs.

Grab yourself a plate/bowl of carbs and pour your delicious chicken sludge on top. Enjoy!

My brother asked me a few days ago what I thought would happen if the 100 richest people in the US were murdered overnight, tonight.

My thoughts, in order of occurence:

It is is too late to get in the newspapers (I was working when he asked)

Dancing crabs

NSA gonna NSA to find the group responsible

terrible new government powers like the patriot act

and/or conspiracies about organized crime

Lawyering about company control, lawyering to sue "top richest people" lists

And then he asks what I thought the effect would be on the economy.

Me: "I mean, bad things would happen to the stock market, because the stock market is a graph of rich people's feelings."

Him: "That is a strangely hilarious way of describing what the stock market is, but I wouldn't exactly call it wrong."

Me: "I do not think the 100 richest people dying would have the effect of covid, or the boat getting stuck in the canal, for everyday people. It would maybe, maybe have the kind of economic effect a gulf hurricane does when it putters out before landfall, like suddenly seafood and gas get more expensive for a few weeks and then it's fine, a blip barely above the statistical noise."

Him: "Cut a head off the hydra and two more will grow in its place. Still a hydra. Life goes on."

But he was intrigued at my suggestion that having those 100 people just drop dead apparently by the hand of god, or have 10 drop every day at X oclock, would give that hydra some Concerns.

I used to help moderate a website and we were dealing with a presumably young-teen user who was, among other things, making impassioned pleas that they should be able to do violent Warrior Cats roleplay on our pg-13-at-worst website aimed at people with executive dysfunction, crying about censorship/free expression/oppression, speaking poor japanese and claiming it happened when she was upset, etc.

And in the moderator forum where we were thisclose to banning her if she didn't stfu (and we eventually had to because she escalated sharply) , I commented, "She reminds me of me when I was 14, and I absolutely do not mean that as a compliment."

Almost exactly that stupid! Would have gone to other forums instead of insisting I needed dispensation to break the rules, and would have felt very sneaky about it, but otherwise the same!

Be annoyed but remember you, too, were annoying!

watched some video about a shitty kid yesterday and caught myself thinking "my god the kids these days are out of control" and praise the Lord I immediately reflexively scolded myself like "you were exactly this stupid when you were 13, stupider probably, here's a memory of you doing and saying something so completely terrible because you were a kid and kids don't know better" you cannot let up your vigilance even for a moment, you must constantly fight against age related conservatism and never stop internally interrogating your reactions

Little undies post 🩷💋

I got overwhelmed with SAD today (it's been grey for days and I'd been forgetting my SAD pills) and I asked my husband if he could bring me something when he went shopping after work. A surprise. A silly magnet or some discount-bin cheese or a taxidermy-able bird or whatever, anything he found.

He got me a wheel of brie, and flowers, AND take-and-bake pizza from my preferred pizza place, that I did not know does take & bake.

I like him, I'm keeping him.

(peak bird flu is not the time to be handling random dead birds but I was worried that if he treated the suggestions like a shopping list I would just get more depressed, and I knew he would almost certainly not get me a dead bird.)
