An ironic arrest happened today, which I’ll give a background about:

There’s a food we call “Kotlet” (Amazingly delicious, check recipes online). You may have heard of it as Meat Patties, Cutlet, or Kotleti. In case you’ve heard of neither, you mash and mix meat and potatoes before frying; That’s enough to know for the context.

After Qasem Soleimani was killed after Trump’s order, his left hand being the biggest part left, people started calling him Kotlet. Though Qasem Kotlet was the nothing more than the fun word on the streets. Some say [this tweet](https://twitter.com/thomas_hill_gr/status/1212885761609142273) was the starting point for it. (“اذا قاسم کُتِّلَت” =\> “and then Qasem turned into Kotlet”)

There is, well, was a great chef sharing recipes and tutorials with his 2.7M followers on Instagram. Navvab Ebrahimi. He posted a Kotlet tutorial yesterday (happened to be just a day after Soleimani’s death date)

Navvab Ebrahimi was arrested and his restaurant was sealed today :DDD

I’m trying to figure out two things here:

1. Have the IRGC pals heard the word Kotlet so much, they actually believe Soleimani was turned into Kotlet and arrest people over cooking Kotlet?

2. What is Navvab going to tell his cellmates? -“dude why are you here” +“I cooked a couple o’ Kotlets” - “Makes total sense man”.

Ironic, because I hate Fritos. Then again, as we Hitman fans all know from Blood Money, the number 1 rule is to never use your own product.

Actually we learned that from Biggie Smalls on his song “Ten Crack Commandments”  
🎶 Rule number 4, I know you heard this one before - never get high on your own supply. 🎶

I wasn’t very active here for some time, because the last days were very exhausting and stressful. My parents got a new dog on christmas, which was very scared. Just four days later she escaped through the door to the backyard, since than we are trying to catch her. We have help from professionals and on saturday we will install a trap and hope we can catch her with that 🙏

And all in all I am not in a very good mood recently. A close friend just ghosted me and I am very sad about it. I wish she would have at least tell me what I did wrong, now I just feel a bit blurry and I am concerned about her. I just hope she’s okay 🙁

And because of the stress with the dog I didn’t learn for exams at all, and next week I have to work again 🙈 I hope I can still use the time left for learning intensively 💪

Well Al needed money at the time I guess that was back when his star was really faded. Bryan is most likely doing it for shits and giggles given he has quite a few projects in the pipes including a Wes Anderson movie.

Went to a pet store, saw a cocker spaniel puppy. Intrusive thoughts kicked in egging me to take the puppy and that no one will stop me. Resisted my intrusive thoughts. Still puppy-less.

The congressman from Montana has been watching too much Yellowstone. Thinks he is Kevin Costner.

That thing over his US House of Reps pin is the emblem of the Navy Seals so I guess I’ll give him a pass on wearing that stupid hat inside 😂

Zinke has always acted like that. The altitude must all mess with their minds up there in Montana.

It’s the whole west. I routinely see people in business suits wearing cowboy hats here. The same people have a pistol on their hip at the grocery store.

Isn’t lead only banned if you’re shooting water fowl? Maybe each state has different mostly unenforceable laws, but in IL I’m not aware of any other restrictions.

Without launching into a gun debate, I just want to state my displeasure for any law outlawing something you’re likely to have many of and maybe not even know where they all are and makes their possession immediately criminal. Magazines are cheap, have not been regulated (anyone can buy them) and anyone who’s owned guns for more than a couple years probably has a bunch of them laying around in places they don’t even remember. You gotta give people 30 days to turn them in or destroy them or whatever. You also should acknowledge that an old girlfriend of a gun owner might have one somewhere in her house and 1) have no idea it’s there and 2) couldn’t reasonably be expected to know this law is changing. It be a shame if she had TWO of them and ended up with a felony bust.

I’d say Montana has different laws (I am not American remember? I just like the environment) but it doesn’t matter what you shoot you probably shouldn’t be using bullets filled with lead at all given it is hazardous to the hunter and the environment.

I’ve said before that I don’t really like it when IOI use their socials to post thinly-veiled corporate recruitment marketing material. I understand why they do it, but personally as a Hitman fan who follows their social feeds for info and fun nuggets about the games themselves, I couldn’t care less if the Barcelona studio hosted an especially homely bake sale or the Malmo team had a great afternoon white-water rafting etc.

With all that said, I’m really glad they published a lovely little piece on Jacob Mikkelsen’s 20 years at the company today. He’s been with IOI for the same length of time that I’ve been into the franchise and as well as work on my early faves of Contracts and Blood Money, he has made a massive contribution to the WoA era (which is the absolute peak of the series IMO) by being Track Lead for Paris and Game Director for H2.

A real legend at IOI and I’m grateful for two decades of him helping to shape my favourite game series. 👏 👏 👏

I got a really nice and unexpected gift from @badeaguard just yesterday. My baller used to have the standard Pacmayr medallions in the grips, NOT ANYMORE!!! It required I do a little bit of work, but I think the results are just fantastic. Thanks again Alex! I hope the results are up to your standards. Cheers to you in the new year.

You can still see a little bit of the gorilla glue that was needed to help keep them from wiggling back and forth. That will be cut away once it’s all perfectly dry, I just didn’t want to wait 48 hours to share.
