#beloved: may your life and your steaks be sweet and savory.
Steak with Twizzler-Infused Glaze
Ingredients:
• 2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your choice of cut)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4–5 Twizzlers (strawberry or cherry flavor)
• 1/2 cup red wine (or beef broth for a non-alcoholic option)
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for a bit of umami depth)
• 1/2 teaspoon butter (for a richer sauce finish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steaks: Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature while you make the Twizzler glaze.
2. Make the Twizzler Glaze:
• Cut the Twizzlers into small pieces and place them in a small saucepan with the red wine or beef broth.
• Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the Twizzlers dissolve into the liquid (about 5-7 minutes).
• Add the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce, then simmer the sauce for another 3–5 minutes, or until it slightly thickens. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a splash of water or more wine.
• Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth. Set the sauce aside and keep it warm.
3. Cook the Steaks:
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
• Add the steaks to the pan and cook to your desired level of doneness (about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness).
• Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes.
4. Serve: Slice the steaks and drizzle the Twizzler glaze over them, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping. The fruity, slightly tangy glaze complements the richness of the steak with an unexpected pop of flavor.
Optional Twizzler Twist
• If you want to go all-in with the Twizzlers, try finely grating a bit of Twizzler over the finished dish as a playful garnish.

Buenas Noches, beloved:
May pleasant curses fall from your lips when you injure yourself with a hammer. May they anoint your finger with swift and wholesome healing, rendering it whole in a matter of moments. Take the time to accept that your greatest pain is also your greatest joy. And may you never forget that you’re already at the party.

Sometimes when I see someone reflecting what I don’t want, I remind myself that this behavior is a south star, and use it to find my bearing back to my north stars (what I want).
Q: How could I safely transport a fart into the bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville?
A: Transporting a fart to a conference isn't a typical or advisable activity, but if you're asking out of curiosity or for a prank, there are some theoretical ways to contain and transport gases. Here are some methods, though I encourage you to consider the appropriateness and potential consequences:
1. **Balloon Method**: Capture the gas in a balloon. This would be a straightforward method but may not be reliable over long periods, as the gas could escape or the balloon might deflate.
2. **Sealed Container**: Use a small, airtight container, like a glass jar with a tight seal. This would be more reliable than a balloon for containing the gas over a longer period.
3. **Vacuum Sealing**: If you have access to vacuum-sealing equipment, you could try to capture the gas in a vacuum-sealed bag, ensuring minimal leakage.
Again, keep in mind the potential social and ethical implications of bringing such an item into a public space, especially a professional event like a conference.

They imply that we are leaderless, but they forget that we lead ourselves. It’s meant to cause fear, but it only reminds us of our strength.

When the moon turns russet and the stars align in starchy constellations, the Spud Snake shall rise. Its eyes aflame with hunger, it will seek the forbidden tuber—the Golden Potato of Destiny. Only then, when the earth trembles and the fryer sizzles, shall the true path be revealed.

As the sun dipped behind the ancient, gnarled trees of Whimseybrook, casting long shadows over the cobbled square, the surreal spectacle of Sir Gallopsalot, the philosophizing pony, returning riderless ignited a buzz among the gathered villagers. Known for his leisurely strolls and unexpected sprints, Sir Gallopsalot’s entrance, bearing mysterious cargo, seemed plucked from the pages of a forgotten fairy tale.
Old Tom, the village sage, with a beard that whispered tales of its own when the wind blew, was the first to greet the enigmatic equine. His hands, veined and steady, reached into the saddlebags to reveal treasures that seemed to bridge the realms of the ordinary and the fantastic.
First, he withdrew a rose so red it seemed to pulse with an otherworldly light. “Behold, the Emberlight rose,” Old Tom declared, holding it aloft. “This bloom is rumored to be a favorite of the fae, and only glows under the light of a faerie moon. Troy Havercross, our village’s audacious explorer and part-time philosopher, must’ve wandered through the Veiled Thicket to pluck such a wonder. Perhaps he sought to harness its rumored power to whisper secrets of the forest.”
Next, he unveiled three whiskey glasses, each swirling with an ethereal mist. “These are no mere glasses but vessels of the spectral sea,” he announced. “Crafted from the sands of ghostly shores, they capture the essence of spirits long past. Troy was known to fancy a tale or two of phantom ships and their lost treasures. It seems he’s left us a sip of the spectral, perhaps as a clue to his whereabouts.”
The last item, the hard-boiled egg, glowed faintly, nestled in a bed of velvet. Old Tom handled it with a mix of reverence and bewilderment. “And here, the Oracle Egg, laid by the elusive Oracle Hen, known to roam the realms of dreams and dusk. It is said that such an egg can answer any question posed to it at midnight under a starless sky. Troy Havercross, ever the seeker of truths, might have intended this as his final riddle for us, a challenge to loosen our cranial sphincters and expand our minds beyond the mundane.”
The villagers, entranced by the unfolding enigma, wove wild tales under the starlit sky. Children imagined Troy battling spectral pirates on ghostly seas or negotiating with mischievous faeries for passage through their hidden realms. The adults speculated on the meanings behind the spectral sea glasses and the Oracle Egg, each theory more outlandish than the last, their cranial sphincters metaphorically loosened in the thrill of mystery.
As night cloaked Whimseybrook, laughter and ponderous chatter filled the air, with villagers raising their spectral glasses in a toast to the absent Troy Havercross. Sir Gallopsalot, content amidst the commotion, seemed a sentinel guarding the threshold between the known and the mythical, a keeper of stories waiting for their rightful end.
In this twilight gathering, the tale of Troy’s riderless return wove itself into the village’s lore, a blend of the bizarre and the sublime, sparking imaginations and perhaps inviting the villagers to peek through the veil into the fantastical, just as Troy Havercross had ventured to do.

When a pigeon gracefully bestows a gift from above during a rainy day, the question arises: is our feathered friend jeopardizing its health by partaking in this impromptu paintball game with Mother Nature as the canvas? Let’s delve into this high-flying conundrum with the seriousness it deserves, for even pigeons, those urban aviators, are worthy of sound healthcare.
Firstly, the act of releasing their burdens while raindrops fall does create a somewhat whimsical scene of nature’s elements mingling. However, the risk of disease from such an action is mostly centered on where the pigeon’s precious cargo lands rather than the act itself. When a pigeon poops, whether in rain or shine, the primary concern is the transmission of pathogens it may carry, such as E. coli or Salmonella, to other birds or even humans, depending on where the droppings end up.
In the rainy scenario, these pathogens could potentially be washed away more quickly, reducing the risk of any disease festering in one spot. This might actually be a bit of an inadvertent clean-up squad courtesy of the weather. However, for the pigeon itself, pooping in the rain does not directly increase its own risk of disease. The real concern for pigeon health typically involves their nutrition, the cleanliness of their roosting areas, and their exposure to toxins or more direct infectious agents.
So, while our pigeon may not need to invest in an umbrella just yet, maintaining a clean and safe environment is paramount. As avian aficionados and stewards of urban wildlife, we can assist by ensuring that their habitats remain as hospitable as possible—perhaps even worthy of a five-star bird review. Thus, while the pigeon’s own act of pooping in the rain is as risk-free as its sunny-day equivalent, it’s our duty to keep the skies clear of more terrestrial troubles, allowing them to soar and, yes, poop, in peace.
Recipe for Human Secretion Tile Mortar
**Ingredients:**
- 1 cup of concentrated human saliva (the result of thinking about your favorite foods)
- ½ cup of finely powdered human nail clippings
- ¼ cup of earwax (harvested over several months for richness)
- 2 tablespoons of sweat (preferably collected after a marathon viewing of thrilling movies)
**Tools:**
- A small pot or double boiler
- Stirring spoon
- Collection containers
- Protective gloves
- Mask (for the scent!)
**Instructions:**
1. **Collect Your Materials:**
- Begin by saving up earwax; small containers kept in warm places are ideal for collection.
- Collect nail clippings regularly; you’ll need about a half cup, so start saving!
- Generate saliva by chewing gum or thinking about delicious meals.
- Engage in a vigorous activity to produce enough sweat, and collect it using clean cloths or sponges.
2. **Prepare Nail Clippings:**
- Wash the clippings thoroughly to ensure they are clean.
- Dry them completely and grind into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a clean coffee grinder.
3. **Create the Base Mixture:**
- In your pot or double boiler, gently warm the earwax until it melts. Keep the temperature low to avoid burning.
- Gradually add the powdered nail clippings to the melted earwax, stirring constantly to avoid clumps.
4. **Incorporate Saliva and Sweat:**
- Slowly mix in the saliva and sweat with the earwax and nail clippings mixture. Stir vigorously until the mixture becomes homogenous.
5. **Simmer:**
- Continue to heat the mixture on a low setting while stirring continuously. Allow it to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens into a paste-like consistency.
6. **Cool Down:**
- Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. It should remain pliable but not too runny.
7. **Application:**
- Apply the mixture to the back of a lightweight tile using a spatula or your fingers (with gloves!). Press the tile firmly onto the desired surface.
- Note: This mortar works best in whimsical art projects or hypothetical scenarios, not for actual home improvement!
8. **Curing Time:**
- Allow the tile to set for at least 24 hours in a dry, warm environment. The curing process may emit a unique fragrance, reminiscent of a hard day’s work!
9. **Finishing Touches:**
- Once cured, admire your work! This mortar is best used in non-load-bearing, decorative installations where conversation-starting is more crucial than structural integrity.

Time well spent
Healing and lament
Flow moves through
Exhaustion moves you
Find a better way
A way to be in the world
That does not cost your soul
But bids you tune in
To the only thing that really matters
The only thing that truly exists
Your attention
And the only choice you really want to make
Where you place it
Tonight
I place my attention on you.
And you. And you.
Sweet friends of mine.
Thank you for this.
The time we spend together.
Let it be pure. Let it be weird. Let it be life.
