I remember being told as a child, "All the real best writers write for Playboy." Obviously, wanting to read the best writers, I tried to get Playboys, and was viciously denied... Now, as a grown up, I can read a Playboy, and say: I have never read a funnier, more devastating essay about protein.

In my latest for Playboy, I wrote about meat, masculinity, and "boy kibble," the trend of men eating a pack of unseasoned ground beef for dinner. I argue it's the perfect meal to illustrate the isolation and nihilism in our ultra-capitalist system www.playboy.com/read/lifesty...

Grabbed a package of top ramen thinking I'd just eat some salty noodles real quick. Nephew passed by and said he better pay attention cuz I usually do something "extra" with it. I told him I want doing anything special then he gave a disappointed "oh" and left. Couldn't let that be the end of it.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

Here I am in the year 2026 with the world in chaos thinking about how I spent a good couple years talking a good game about finally learning how to draw furry porn and I have yet! to draw! ANY porn at all!! Can't keep living like this. Gotta make it true or give up the lie.

i think it's smart that the Wikipedia page for Chips and Dip opens with a "Rationale" section. a lot of people are flabbergasted to find out about this concept and need some grounding before they get into the history

Rationale

Usually the chips served are not flavored, or flavored only mildly, and the dip serves as a condiment. Serving them separately allows for simultaneous consumption, while also allowing for the eater to control the amount of dip according to their preference. When made from purchased processed foods, the dish is an easy finger food, as each item requires almost no further preparation. Not to mention, there is a large amount of combinatorial possibility inherent to the choice of dip being paired to the chip chosen.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.
