This song's been stuck in my head, I think the only way to get it out is to share.

My youngest daughter named her toy mermaid Maria today, so I showed her this.

The unbearable weight of massive talent.

“During the summer of 1982 artist Agnes Denes planted, cultivated, and harvested a two acre wheat field in a landfill just outside the financial district.”

Smoking a 10 lb Boston Butt tonight for the 4th. Representing NC with some red slaw too! It is usually eaten with pork BBQ in the Lexington area, but works well with a lot of dishes. Here's the recipe if you want to give it a try: - 3/4 cups ketchup - 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar - 1/3 cup white sugar. I used a little less this time and also added a spoonful of pineapple juice concentrate. - 1/2 tsp black pepper - 1/2 tsp salt - a few drops of your favorite hot sauce, I use Texas Pete Mix these ingredients in a small bowl then, in a strong sealable container, add a grated cabbage. I've used red cabbage before and, although not traditional, it is prettier and a little more nutritious. I use the larger holes on the cheese grater, and it ends up looking like a rough pulp that's ~2 lbs. Dump the sauce in with the cabbage, seal, and shake/mix the contents thoroughly. Refrigerate or keep in cool place overnight. Enjoy!

Probably late to the party, but TIL about Braess' paradox. I knew there was inherent cost in self-interest baked into the system, but Braess summed it up nicely.

A whole lotta NOPE!

In the 1830's and 40's the average British rural worker consumed around 6500 calories per day. Most of those calories came from bread. The average family of 6 consumed around 55 pounds of bread, around 31 modern loaves, per week!

We woke up today without any plans for the day. It’s been at least a couple of years since we’ve had a Saturday like this!

Got my dad a record player for Father’s Day and he and my mom are jamming out to their old collection. This one’s from 1964 and doesn’t skip a beat!

One of my upcoming projects... My first impression was that it was a Roller Coaster Tycoon prank. No one who's seen it likes it. Like a red serpent crawling into the Capitol.

Really liking Alpine Linux.

I love a nice board-formed wall, very satisfying. I give it a week before someone tags it…

Never had TimTam, is the original the way to go?
