i confess i've been pleasantly surprised by Maxine Dexter. she did indeed pull a bit left in office, and i like this. still not in 100% lockstep but i felt good about that vote. #hottakehouse #orpol

dr. pepper strawberries and cream zero is a fucking amazing beverage. complexity, not too much sweetness but enough it satisfies outsized in awesomeness. #hottakehouse

DRINKING ANOTHER ONE

it's more caffeine than i should but after a fine tacos and beer routine i need something sweet and complex. #hottakehouse

so incidentally the 'quality drugs' edibles that electric lettuce and its related outfits sell are bomb. five bucks with tax, 100mg, live resin, comes in strains and flavors...including pickle. trans-affirming as fuck. #hottakehouse

okay so y'all know real winco bagels are coming back within the next 2-4 weeks, and shortly thereafter their french bread and pretzel bread.

this has been the way; we complained, they relented, and now the real boiled goodness is coming back. 5 dollar half dozens are back on the menu. #hottakehouse
October 31, 2026 at 7:53 AM
same for the french bread and pretzel bread (with boiling bagels back pretzel bread is easy because guess what you do to pretzels) both of which are not presently vegan because there's a lactose based dough conditioner in the frozen shit.

we so back. #hottakehouse

scale down low level offense arrests and DATs
scale up shit for kids and teens to do
(something very confusing to American conservatives)
and then your homicide rate tanks out of nowhere, e.g. Boston, which was safer the past 2 years per capita than some spendy 'burbs. #hottakehouse

yeah safeway has the same shit kroger's (QFC-Freddys) has and sort of what WinCo did and is now pivoting away from.

market of choice and new seasons have good bread. zupan's if you're near one has oddly reasonably priced baked goods, and their house bagels are divine for 1.50 a pop. #hottakehouse

the edge cases are starting to come up more often in the predictions and it makes me wonder if there's some violent oversampling of republicans given that the internal leaks are wild.

it's that last line of the first season of true detective. what if the dark's about to get beat down? #hottakehouse
October 31, 2026 at 9:52 AM
it would be classically funny if things went violently wrong for the GOP. Lose SC and FL, ME GA and MI aren't even close, NC NH OH MN and from there you don't need much more to not worry about defections. TX? MS if we're really going there? i mean not likely but who knows this is new #hottakehouse

the other thing re winco getting back to normal is croissants and sourdoughs are phase 2. walla walla opened with bagels back to normal already. this is not gonna be an extended nightmare; your decent (but boiled!) bagels are coming back and now will be mostly vegan again. #hottakehouse

I'm having trouble phrasing the "if i find out you voted for Drazan never fucking speak to me again" in a way that the caucasians will understand. #HotTakeHouse
October 24, 2026 at 3:25 AM
okay so like: if Drazan were to be elected our priorities need to be:

1. repeal homo hatin' 36
2. repeal measure 6 (1984)
3. refer constitutional amendment of current basic rights under law
4. refer constitutional amendment removing oversight of State buildings by Executive Branch

Which Dipshit Dictator is worse: Modi or Bolsonaro?

(Bolsonaro, either one. G-d what the fuck is wrong with new world democracies that don't speak Spanish...and you, El Salvador. You're fuckin' weird.)

I lost an "argument" (well-intentioned at worst) about if Caucasians drink Hennessy. I held that I see more of them drinking that than Courvoisier (my preferred yak) and we spent like 2 minutes trying to remember if we'd seen that.

i gallivant off to the t-bird. (1/2) #HotTakeHouse
October 24, 2026 at 6:07 AM
...mask up and head in to order, am behind a man of the Scandihoovian persuasion order Courvoisier, one rock, glencairn.

Whelp. You can probably guess the OLCC as it's one of the Henny-rich ones. Cold half pints of Sinfire, too. Ah, Sinfire. Oregonian Fireball, honey not HFCS. #HotTakeHouse

i'm on the bus from drinkies outside to a couple more (also outside, it's covered/heated season, baby!) after a murderous week because i'm sitting here praying that my state won't elect a Nazi.

The #HotTakeHouse is open. Mute the tag to avoid crossfaded commentary this evening.
I'm crossfaded, it's Friday night, so the #HotTakeHouse is open for business.

ARE THEY STILL NACHO FRIES THO THEN

#HotTakeHouse
October 3, 2026 at 7:18 AM
fun fact, local cidermakers: you can add flavor to a cider without making it sickly sweet, thank you #HotTakeHouse
October 3, 2026 at 4:54 AM
i love the nacho supreme dip. you do know you can sub fries for like 20 more cents tho right

i am pro-potato and i vote. seriously as someone who loves complex carbs and satiety you can potato up this menu.

i am bought and paid for by big potato. #hottakehouse

i stand by this though i am standing in line at taco bell about to consume shame. #HotTakeHouse

(also i had a couple at the daily planet with a friend who needed an ear and was willing to buy tots but we are back in business)
