Lunchie The Cat Because He's A Good Boi And Deserve To Be Seen By All!

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

EVI CAUGHT ON FIRE LMAOOOOOOOO

"I'm so over winter" is the most annoying thing you can say to me rn. Not even joking.

It hasn't snowed. You're in one layer.

You don't even have to defrost your car.

Also, what are you even looking forward to now? The Two Weeks of Spring? The Four Month-long Fire Apocolypse we used to call Summer?

There’s something unexplainably comforting about the amazing devil calling God a fucking nerd

Yet more reasons to vote for democracy rather than this anti information insanity

The Atlantic: MAGA will end free weather reports and effectively dissolve the NWS and NOAA.

Did you have a newly reelected Trump administration ending your local weather forecasts on your Project 2025 bingo card? Well, they are plan

NOAA “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated, sent to other agencies, privatized, or placed under the control of states and territories,” Project 2025 reads. The proposals roughly amount to two main avenues of attack. First, it suggests that the NWS should eliminate its public-facing forecasts, focus on data gathering, and otherwise “fully commercialize its forecasting operations,” which the authors of the plan imply will improve, not limit, forecasts for all Americans. Then, NOAA’s scientific-research arm, which studies things such as Arctic-ice dynamics and how greenhouse gases behave (and which the document calls “the source of much of NOAA’s climate alarmism”), should be aggressively shrunk. “The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded,” the document says. It further notes that scientific agencies such as NOAA are “vulnerable to obstructionism of an Administration’s aims,” so appointees should be screened to ensure that their views are “wholly in sync” with the president’s.

Climate change is the single most important issue in the entirety of human history. One party wants to fight it. The other party wants to let the earth burn; in fact, they want to accelerate the fire.

Hey Wil- I ironically love that stupid Wesley Crusher gnome figurine in my local discount store…but I don’t know if it’s ok to buy it. Is this something that you profit from? Or did someone steal a (poorly executed) likeness of your beloved visage? I will happily smash all the offending ceramic doppelgängers if you command it! Or…I will take one home and lovingly tend to his needs and desires in my garden with your approval. Please help me decide!!??!!

I own one of these, myself, and I love it. If you have an opportunity to get your own, grab it. They are VERY hard to find.

This is my dog. I don't think I could have taken this photo intentionally. I'm very proud of having taken it accidentally.

You all know that one part in Well of Ascension where "Oreseur" jokes about eating Hammond like "One is, after all named "Ham"..."

Well that joke doesn't quite work when the book is translated to languages where ham doesn't have any food related meanings. So in the finnish translation the line goes like "I think he'd make a good ham-burger" which I honestly think is way funnier. Seriously hamburger? Are there even hamburgers in universe? Well it's not like impossible but honestly I can't picture it.

One-Pot Macaroni Cheeseburger Soup – No Velveeta

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided

2 teaspoons dried thyme, divided

6 tablespoons butter

1 yellow onion, diced

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup sliced celery

5 cloves garlic, minced

4 tablespoons flour

8 cups chicken broth

8 oz. uncooked elbow macaroni

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar

Kosher salt

Fresh cracked pepper

4 sesame seed buns, diced into 1-inch pieces

2 tablespoons olive oil

Garnish:

Sliced green onions

Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Arrange the diced sesame seed buns in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden.

Step 2:

In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef, 1 teaspoon of oregano, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and a few pinches of salt and pepper.

Cook the beef until it’s browned and crumbled, then remove it from the pot and set it aside.

Step 3:

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat (there’s no need to clean it out).

Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4:

Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, along with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oregano and 1 teaspoon of thyme.

Cook for another minute.

Step 5:

Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the vegetables.

Cook for another minute while stirring frequently.

Step 6:

Add a splash of chicken broth to deglaze the pot, scraping up any delicious bits from the bottom.

Then pour in the rest of the chicken broth along with the uncooked macaroni and another pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 7:

Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Once it simmers, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8:

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese.

Then add the white balsamic vinegar.

Step 9:

Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and warm the soup over medium heat for a few minutes until everything is heated through.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 10:

Serve the soup topped with the baked sesame seed bun croutons, garnished with sliced green onions and extra shredded cheddar cheese.

Enjoy!
