I am a New York born Chicago boy Texan. I love street food of all types, old school Italian bakeries, backyard apizza, pop culture, humor, writing, endurance sports, Motorhead, ebikes, ukulele, huge dogs that drool, martial arts, and my wife--although not necessarily in that order. I've been on Mastodon for quite a while, and so should you.

How do these two kiss when both of their faces are clearly paralyzed?

You, my right honourable friend, strike me as a textbook example of a canis venaticus.

And I'd wager a month's salary that you enjoy spending inordinate amounts of time in pursuit of game and prey for profit or pleasure.

But given that you've yet to successfully apprehend a hare of any size, shape, or form, I'm afraid that the prospects of us forging a social bond are all but impossible.

So...I may be wrong, but...it appears that the BBC website is now behind a paywall.

That surprises me. I thought the BBC was a taxpayer-funded quasi-governmental news service. I am not British (so maybe I shouldn't complain since my tax dollars don't go there), but I have relied on the BBC for news for decades.

Update: After a bit of Googling, it seems that the paywall only applies to the US. I guess that's fair, given that we are now viewed as global pariahs and all.

The 15 Best Steak Night Specials In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation

Austin bars and restaurants with steak night specials.

The Infatuation

I'm not into religion, spirituality, Internet influencers, [FILL-IN-THE-BLANK]-maxxing, fad diets, or any of the silly wellness trends and/or pop psychology mumbo-jumbo of the moment that is/are strewn across the Internet.

That said, many of the stoic memes that appear on my Substack feed seem remarkably rational and common sensical--including, for example, the ones below. Take it #FWIW, and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Walmart's Great Value store brand will also be releasing a new line of food items aimed at GLP-1 users. Basically, bright glossy cardboard boxes with nothing inside.

Walmart revamps its Great Value brand to highlight nutritional content

Walmart is redesigning the packaging of its Great Value products to make them more appealing to customers and to help shoppers spot nutritional information more quickly. Great Value is Walmart’s biggest store brand and one of the largest food and consumer packaged goods labels in the U.S. The revamp announced on Wednesday comes as shoppers have increasingly treated private-label foods not as a stepdown from national brands, but more as an equivalent. A company executive says the new cartons, boxes, bags and other containers will start to appear on Walmart store shelves next month. He says the overhaul doesn't involve any changes to the products themselves.

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the last time that I received a piece of snail mail in my US Postal Service mailbox that didn't go immediately into the paper recycling bin.

Appreciate the gesture, but my libido also got discounted 15% once I hit 55.

Me: "What would you like for your birthday dinner?"

Wife: "STEAK!!!"

Happy wife, happy life.

I threw in some lamb chops and "salt potatoes" (an upstate NY delicacy, #IYKYK) for good measure.

Happier wife.
