Drove all the way out to Hunter's Head for lunch and they're fully booked, even at the bar. So now we're at Lost Barrel Brewing.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Last night was our first visit to Mandoo Rang Kimbob Erang. Tiny place, kind of rundown, but absolutely delicious. Best mandu I've had in the area and my first time having budae jjigae.

Got a meeting invite yesterday evening for a 1:1 with a senior VP with no agenda. I was a bit freaked out. I joined today to find most of our ELT there to congratulate me and my previous sales guy on one of our deals. Yay! (Though I'm not on that account anymore.)

do you know how much I want rioting French people to storm an NFL game oh my god

Adam Schefter ... Mirror@adamscheftermirror.bsky.social

The NFL said security will be heightened for the game in Paris between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints on Sunday after civil unrest engulfed the French capital last weekend. Original post

Opening up my copy of _The Bartender's Library_ I immediately had a craving for a cigar. I realized when I was reading it this weekend while smoking a cigar it now smells like one. I see @jacobgrier.bsky.social 's hand in this! (Great book by the way! I'm loving it.)

I have to admit I've been surprised by some of the pictures of folks at @defector.com -- not what I expected some of them to look like! (I love seeing what folks look like in real life.)

Over on Threads (some accounts there I follow on Mastodon), one person (with quotes turned off, so I won't name them here) described Trump as "tiresome" and boy howdy, ain't that the truth. I am so tired of every day just more inane, scary, and/or corrupt bullshit.

I am getting so many spam texts for Talarico, and they are all so pathetic. (And no, I do not think donating via them would actually go to his campaign, nor do I think his campaign is the one sending them.)

Why are @arlingtonva.us and @arlcountyboard.bsky.social using AI to design their graphics? Use your in-house talent. Hire local freelancers or businesses. Don’t buy into the “everyone else is doing it.” Be better than this. AI graphics are slop. It has to stop. bsky.app/profile/arlc...

If you are a big ramyeon fan, definitely look into getting some Ramen Bae. It's a good add-in - today I used fried shallot beef, kimchi, and sweet corn with my Jin ramyeon. I also added fresh green onion and an egg.

This weekend we tried Call Your Mother in Ballston. The Thunderbird was good but too big for me. The cinnamon roll muffin was fantastic. Solid bagels and cream cheese. Next weekend is Bagel Uprising.

It's finally pub day for The Bartender's Library, my new book with Brett Adams. If you want to learn more about how spirits are made, how to thoughtfully curate a bar of any size, or just want some new cocktails to mix, this is for you! Available now at your favorite bookstore.

Don't campaign signs have a set size they can be? Arnoldi, the libertarian, has an enormous sign near the corner of Pershing and Washington Blvd.

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com

Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!
