My vision of Europe in the year 700:
OK, three big problems. We’re going to need Team Turn This Grass Called Wheat Into Anything Else.
Annddd: Team Metalurgy, Mining & Glass.
Voice from the back: What about medicine & child stuff?
Ah, we’ll let religion handle all that.
And so our mess today!

I’ve been playing around with wheat berries for a few months, and I’ll tell you what: they’re wonderful but be it also is dead clear why so much northern human ingenuity did nothing for centuries but try to get that bran off

Perils of restaurant criticism: People coming up to you to ask if you’ve heard of this “new” restaurant and you’re totally perplexed and they think you’re out of the loop… but the place is 3 years old and doesn’t register to you as new at all.

i make a lot of jokes about the male loneliness crisis and please believe me it's not because i dislike men on an individual or class basis it's just that i dislike revanchist social movements that exploit human compassion to reify gendered hierarchy, rape culture and transphobia

Trump’s attack on DEI may hurt college men, particularly White men
The Trump administration’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion also targets gender. The ban may impact gender balancing practices that often benefit college men.

Willows in the snow yesterday, a very November Minnesota, with the honks of migrating geese in the background, and a few speckled heaps of black little migrating coots way in the middle of the slowly icing lake. 💙

‘Medicare for All’ still big. “In a survey of 1,207 likely voters [from] Nov. 14–17, 2025, ...65% of voters [supported] a Medicare for All system, described as a ‘national health insurance program... that would cover [everyone] & replace... private health insurance...’" jacobin.com/2025/11/medi...
Medicare for All Disappeared. Its Popularity Didn’t.
The demand for Medicare for All went from the center of the discourse to political exile in record time. But the policy's popularity never faded. A new poll finds strong majority support for the neglected idea among Americans across the political spectrum.
