“Why Wearing a Barrel As Pants is The New Hot Style”
Chat, is it a good sign when the Atlantic's Thanksgiving take is "cabbage is affordable"?
Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:

Mmm… more slop.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Talking to Cory Doctorow about #Enshittification is like overclocking your brain. Please enjoy our latest edition but you might want to listen on 0.75 speed.
“Enshittification” is the word of the moment. It’s the reason Google is all ads and Amazon serves you crappy overpriced products. Cory Doctorow, who coined the term, joins @nndroid.bsky.social and @rafaelbehr.bsky.social to discuss how we can combat it ➡️ linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnowpod

I've always liked the 17th century 'dog person' debate told thru art, with Shakespeare so fervently anti-dog and people like Alexandre-François Desportes (and it seems De Lorme) really into them. Like proto-Guardian opinion pieces! Even then it was all about the *clicks*

The X-Files, almost uniquely among the old shows from the Nineties I still watch, not only still looks incredible following its HD remastering but benefits, rather than suffers, from the switch to widescreen. Thank goodness for shooting on 35mm.

Few things I enjoy more than the trend for including dogs in 17th Dutch church interiors.
Special shout out to Anthonie De Lorme who, along with De Witte, had a fondness for showing dogs urinating and defecating in the holy space.

Today's artist without a (known) birthday: Emanuel de Witte of Alkmaar. Painter of churches, markets, portraits. All-around great artist! Here, Nieuwe Kerk in Delft w/ tomb of William the Silent, 1656.

Writing a little thing about S6E6 of the X-Files (How The Ghost Stole Christmas) and, as an aside, I'm struck by how good the FX are. 27 years old and those gun-blast images are better than a lot of modern CGI. Anyway, good episode. save it for Xmas Eve.

Will never not retweet this monster.
RAINBOW (1972) was originally conceived as Britain's answer to Sesame Street, and Geoffrey, George, Zippy and Bungle would eventually become household names. But the first series featured a maniacal, wide-eyed, terrifying prototype of cuddly old Bungle Bear...
