My older daughter learned to ride a bike today. She was so happy. As she was riding, she said, “I feel free.” My heart is full.

Step 1: announce retirement
Step 2: zzzzzz
Step 3: finally grow a spine

LA has a Mediterranean climate. If you go farther inland, then it’s a desert. But the Santa Monica Mountains have features that remind me a lot of the Mediterranean

It’s a small part of the filling alongside other things. What I should have said is that chicken is never used in sauces. Chicken broth is definitely used with some pastas, like cappelletti and tortellini

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

Not a thing at all. Chicken Alfredo is something made up in North America

I hope they don’t show this stuff to the funder of the brand, Giovanni Rana, who is 88 and might not survive seeing this

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

Just so we’re clear, these are like three separate things, and none of them belongs in lasagna
- 4 cheese is a type of pizza
- carbonara needs no introduction
- chicken doesn’t belong anywhere near any type of pasta

Btw, this is a judgment free zone. My Italian parents would judge the hell out of you if you ate this. But I don’t. If you like it, happy for you

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

All in one, my friend. Carbonara with chicken, lol

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

“Italians mad at food” wouldn’t like this one. I actually got a little mad, too

Nonsense lasagna with chicken, “carbonara” lol

Those are exactly in Nørrebro. Good eye. And thanks for sharing the story of these blocks

This is Minneapolis:

-drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents
-go to brunch with your wife
-get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt
-get groceries as helicopters roar overhead
-deliver food & this vehicle passes you

The damn press uses the word "lie" with Dems (when they're not lying), but they're allergic to using the word "lie" with the Trump administration and other Republicans. Make it make sense

Chances of a retraction when the inevitable happens?

Pretty cool when defunct railway tracks still shape the layout of properties and buildings

Respectfully, fuck the AAAS. Things aren’t ok in science. We’re deeply affected by the cuts in the last year, and it’s not just cuts at the federal level. It’s also red states cutting higher education funding

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

In case you haven’t noticed, elections have consequences. What did you think “mass deportations now” meant?

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

We have this one too and my kids love it also

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

I admire you for your courage and integrity, but in this case, I give zero fucks about your suggestion

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

And in part a failure of Dem cities and states to deliver on affordability. Here’s the story

There are a lot of nonpartisan voters in Nevada, making the swing state hard to read

Since 2020, voters in Nevada who aren't registered with a party have become the largest voting group in the state. That means it's hard to predict how they'll vote so campaigns are courting them.

I sometimes remember hearing an NPR story before the 2024 election where young Latino men in Las Vegas said they would vote for Trump because they believe he’d make things more affordable. I don’t feel schadenfreude for them, and can’t help being angry at Dems for failing at messaging so much

I’m never in favor of banning books, but that one has tons of rape and bestiality. The musical is very different

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

Yes and fewer cars. Which explains the space for trees

My youngest daughter’s favorite book. I wonder when Utah’s schools will ban it

Book titled “Pancho rabbit and the coyote: A migrant story”

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 1d

This is not intended to show any good or bad case. It’s just different. What’s the “best” case in LA and the “worse” in Berlin?

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 2d

Not necessarily. We have the technology to build tall buildings in earthquake prone areas. Look at downtown LA or Seattle. More of a political and vibes choice. LA is a more “horizontal” city

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 2d

You can draw your own. One that I draw is that imposing low maximum heights like in LA (2-3 stories) can result in very high lot coverages, which means more limited open space is left

Alessandro Rigolon @alerigolon.bsky.social · 2d

For not being interested in the comparison, you light to comment a lot. Imagine if you were interested…
