Any pepper mill you need to use two hands to use while cooking is already the worst on you can buy IMHO. This is for the birds. https://www.seriouseats.com/cole-mason-pepper-mill-review-11918548

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Pepper Canon only requires a couple twists for every 6-8 on a normal grinder, and can grade from almost powder to chonky, is made from milled aluminum so it’s heirloom-grade, and you can use it against an attacker in a home invasion. No need for disposable or other batteries either!

I really don’t want to read too much into this but Dem primary turnout for the Senate race in Texas was much higher than the GOP turnout. It’s just another data point but hopefully all of these add up

@gedeonm@mastodon.social so this was predicted as a kind of stock shorting grift. There are a lot of people who were insuring against the tariffs and this is a big paycheck for them and they’re all in bed with the administration. I’ll have to see if I can find a link with more explanation and receipts, but it’s like grifts all the fucking way down >_<

They’ll probably refuse to investigate this one too and make up some BS excuse for shooting the person while five guys were on top of him. Disgusting.
