my grandma's advice was always "you look, you see, you taste, you know"
The lesson that I learned about recipes while working as a line cook and later while helping to record our recipes for the restaurant cookbook is that the trick to good cooking is ignoring the timing and using your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and fingers to tell when to move to the next step.

I think media studies made a mistake when we adopted the meme as a cultural unit from Richard Dawkins. Took too many assumptions about culture with it maybe

Lockdown revisionism is wild b/c lockdown means anything from masks to stay at home orders to vaccines. It's why I don't use the term lockdown. Also any public health intervention that works even moderately will look in retrospect as an overreaction

I like to remind people that the electorate, or the public, includes you. When people talk shit about "the public," they are talking about you!
