Today i learned that the ingredient Asafoetida is known by different names such as devil’s dung, stinking gum, asant and hing. Silphium, the predecessor of asafoetida (also known as silphion or lasar), was an ancient spice from the region of Cyrene (now in modern Libya).

The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you.

Bill Maher: “I went bowling with Charles Manson. What can I tell ya? He’s a really charming and funny guy one on one. And he asked my advice about important stuff. Wish you all coulda been there.”

Stop venting to ChatGPT; go to confession at your nearest Catholic church. You don’t even have to be Catholic; you just have to ask to confess. You can even debate with a priest for free, or you can give a donation, like donuts or apples. Or you can fight the priest. It’s like Dark Souls.

Day 20,530

My breakfast with Cerberus (actually three lovely Irish wolfhounds—Raven, Desmond, and Ruth—hard to see where one giant pooch ends and the next begins).

I had banana walnut French toast; they had pancakes.

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
