Are you familiar with the ZZ Top album Tres Hombres? The one with "La Grange"? Are you familiar with the inside gatefold imagery of the album being a giant spread of Tex Mex?

Well, Austin chef Tom Micklethwait decided to recreate the entire spread and give himself a tasty treat. It's all documented in this short film ZZ Tom and it goes exactly as you'd hope. He recreates it damn nearly perfectly and we can only assume it's delicious.

And if you're curious what ZZ Top themselves would think of such a delightful Internet undertaking - read this Texas Monthly interview with Billy Gibbons. Includes a great anecdote involving a German Shepherd. Via Jamie.

This whole undertaking is from 2016 but it's new to me and, I hope, new to you. Here's that spread, stare into it at your convenience.

According to members of the team, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders received a 400% raise last season, with specific rates having not been released. What do you think?

New research finds that cannabis users are two times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than non-users.

The question is whether people will believe him.

President Trump’s Tilt-A-Whirl of tariffs has left many consumers feeling dizzy, if not outright nauseated, over the possibility of rising prices.

But have prices actually gone up?

We wanted to find out, so we spent the past 60 days rigorously tracking the prices of 40 Wirecutter picks to see what, if anything, has gotten more expensive since Trump levied (and then, in many cases, paused) tariffs on much of the world.

The answer: Things haven’t changed as much as we expected them to.

Of the 40 products we tracked, 27 of them — roughly two-thirds of the group — didn’t change at all. Another three actually dropped in price. And 10 went up.

Of the 10 that had price increases, only three jumped in cost by more than 15%. The other seven increases were relatively modest.

That doesn’t mean more prices won’t spike further in the future, or that tariffs haven’t had massive effects on the economy already.

It simply means that on this curated selection of Wirecutter picks, the majority of prices didn’t budge much this spring.

Broader economic data released last week underlined that trend too, as "inflationary pressures [on consumer prices] remained more muted than expected at this stage,” as The Times' Colby Smith put it.

No word on whether it'll speak like Trump.
