Our fridge broke, defrosted, and let a bunch of meat and dairy spoil. We are now looking at having to replace an entire fridge & freezer's worth of food on the same weekend we have to take one of our cats to the emergency vet.

It is, ah. It is not my day today.

Y'all know I fucking hate doing this, but we do NOT have the money to replace all the spoiled food AND take the cat to the vet, and we can't NOT take the cat to the vet. She needs care.

Please, send this around if you can, and donate if you have a couple spare bucks. I've got folks depending on me to replace the food, and e-begging is about my only option.

Bison Are Bringing Back Biodiversity to Britain

In just a few years, the only free-roaming bison herd in the U.K. has already made a tangible difference in the surrounding ecosystem.

European bison released in England’s ancient woodland have doubled in number since 2022, and the woodland has gotten healthier since, reviving previously extinct beetle species and increasing sightings of dormice and reptiles. And England isn’t the only European nation getting bison back in business: In the 1920s, there were just 54 European bison after intense hunting over millennia, but thanks to re-wilding efforts there are now around 10,000, mostly in Russia and Belarus.

incredibly funny to realise the US supports single-family zoning so much on the exact same material basis as the Wehrbauer system

Herb salts are super easy and they're both practical and pretty. I used rosemary, oregano, sage, and a bit of thyme in this batch, with rosemary as the dominant flavor. By using fresh herbs you let the liquids soak into the salt for a stronger flavor than you'd get just mixing dried herbs with spice. I'm not giving measurements because I don't really use them, though you can find recipes online with specific proportions. Really you just need enough salt to absorb this moisture and not dominate the herb flavors.

Take your herbs and rinse them clean , then pat them dry. Strip all the leaves off the stems and put them into a grinder. If you don't have a grinder, you could get the same effect by dicing really really tiny or by using a mortar and pestle, but really the grinder speeds things up a lot.

Grind the leaves of the herbs until they're finely chopped. Then add some salt. I use a coarse kosher salt, because it gets ground a bit finer in this process, and a chunky salt is great texture for most of the uses I'd have for this. If you're making it as popcorn seasoning though, a fine salt is better, and run the grinder extra long to make it super fine. For coarse salt, just pulse the grinder a bit to get things combined evenly.

Then everything gets spread out on parchment paper in a pan and put into the oven at 200 degrees for roughly half an hour, or until dry to touch. You could also just let it air dry like this for several days if you don't want to use the oven. Then just stick it into an airtight container to store! If you skip the oven drying stage you'll need to keep it in the fridge and use it within about a month, but if you dry it it's good for ages. The best flavor is in the first six months though.

The Treasury of Atreus (or Tomb of Agamemnon) is an impressive tholos tomb located on the Panagitsa Hill at Mycenae, Greece. It was constructed around 1250 B.C. The tomb is constructed in the style of other tholoi of the Mycenaean world, nine in total around the citadel of Mycenae. With its monumental shape and grandeur, the Treasury of Atreus is one of the most impressive monuments surviving from Mycenaean Greece.

The lintel stone above the doorway weighs 120 tons and measures 8.3 x 5.2 x 1.2 meters, the largest in the world. The tomb was used for an unknown period. Mentioned by Pausanias, it was still visible in 1879 when the German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the shaft graves under the agora in the Acropolis at Mycenae. Although the tomb has no relationship with Atreus or Agamemnon, it was named thus by Heinrich Schliemann and the name has been used ever since.

It is formed of a semi-subterranean room of circular plan, with a corbel arch covering that is ogival in section. With an interior height of 13.5 meters and diameter of 14.5 meters, it was the tallest and widest dome in the world for over a thousand years. Great care was taken in positioning the enormous stones to guarantee the vault’s stability over time in bearing the force of compression from its own weight. This resulted in a perfectly smoothed internal surface, onto which could be placed gold, silver and bronze decoration.

The tholos was entered from an inclined uncovered hall or dromos, 36 meters long with dry-stone walls. A short passage led from the tholos to the actual burial chamber, which was dug out in a cubical shape.

The entrance portal to the tumulus was richly decorated: half-columns in green limestone with zig-zag motifs on the shaft, a frieze with rosettes above the architrave of the door, and spiral decoration in bands of red marble that closed the triangular aperture above an architrave. The capitals are influenced by ancient Egyptian examples. Other decorative elements were inlaid with red porphyry and green alabaster.

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
