From Dad Jokes:

I taught my kids about democracy tonight by having them vote on which movie to watch and which pizza to order.  Then, I picked the movie and ordered the pizza I wanted because I'm the one with the money.

Trump is a "useful idiot" for Putin.  He's never excelled at "the Art of the deal" or much else, besides playing a fictional good businessman with a penchant for firing people on a television reality show.  That he's succeeded in getting Americans to vote for him is god's own mystery.

Thanks, goldie.  Maybe the airlines will show me a few episodes.  All the links led me to $$ subscription services. 

Severance, season 2, seems to be like some kind of dysfunctional futuristic Friends.  Small number of characters.  Some limited romance with a few.  Some lapses in logic with one character and weird corporate retreat that simply made no sense.  The guys writing this seem like they've inhaled the corporate culture of Silicon Valley and are integrating it to the best of their ability into this show.  It makes being a sole proprietor seem very attractive if this is the alternative.  Ick.  I've only seen a few episodes of this season but it seems to be slowly going off the rails.

That is sheer brilliance. Crying will laughter the second time round.

I listened to google on dirty water dogs tonight but still managed to mess up.

According to google, you're supposed to fill the pot with water, bring it to a boil and then add one tablespoon of red wine vinegar.

My first screwup, I dropped paprika in there. I've got like five paprikas, I've even got an organic and smoked paprika, not sure why I have both.

Anyway, you're not supposed to use paprika in dirty water dogs.
Next ingredient was garlic powder, I added that and it made things smell bad. That did not raise my spirits, I was a little cranky honestly.

Next I got things back on track, the traditional recipe next calls for cumin and nutmeg. I added those and it seemed to cut the garlic notes severely and appreciably.

I then boiled the dogs for four minutes, and they plumped severely. Like I was impressed!

Next I put them in hot dog buns with relish, shredded cheese and yellow mustard.

I enjoyed this dinner, and the paprika didn't ruin it.

Sorry I didn't measure anything, I probably should have.
