I first heard about using tomato soup in cake from https://www.midcenturymenu.com/black-magic-chocolate-cake-made-with-condensed-tomato-soup-a-retro-recipe-test/

It is the only chocolate cake I have ever enjoyed. Ymmv.

Those blue idealists are pretty Borg-like. Will the Ferengi join them peacefully or not so peacefully?

no stupid questions is to allow you to ask things you might be embarrassed about, like things you "should" know already as an adult, mildly taboo topics that people generally aren't willing to talk about in polite company, or questions that might come charged with a bit of controversy. I'm sure that doesn't cover all the cases, but that's the general vibe I get.

Slogging through Trails Beyond the Horizon. The story has so many irons in the fire that I can't be bothered to keep track of it all, which makes progress super slow with short sessions. I'm hoping it'll catch me soon, but having to go back to small potatoes after saving the world two or three times just makes the start feel extra slow.

Yep. That show was pretty screwed up in a lot of ways and I didn't mean to imply sexy, I meant to point out whoever made or used the image as a meme is leaning on their dynamic and the framing to do the implication. Unsuccessfully, apparently.

Yay, understood purple today.

People used to write with pens and pencils a lot more. Enough of that can alter the hand a bit. But take that with a grain of salt. I've got no proof.

Making okonomiyaki for some cat sitters, going to a friend's birthday boardgames, and seeing some friends I haven't seen in a bit.
