I have about six dishes that are simple go-tos on a weeknight (mushroom risotto, chicken piccata, Senate bean soup, gumbo ya-ya, Okinawan taco rice) that I don't have to think about. What are yours? I know I don't have a ton of followers, so please spread this as you see fit.

Really thought-provoking work here
I don't know, Aaron. I think we need to take this seriously. In fact, after surveying hundreds of years of history in the past few days, I've written an article assessing the originalist case here:

friend: would you give me a ride to the airport?

me: ...would you rather I die for you instead?

friend: no, the ride is enough

me: I'd prefer the other option if possible

i have decade+ long friendships with people i met by chance, have sort of stayed in touch with, and only see occasionally, but with whom the emotional connection and psychological safety is so strong, it’s always like picking up as if no time has passed *while* holding space for personal growth

i know that neurodivergent lack of relationship decay is often seen as a bad thing, and i know it isn’t always a good thing, but

developing friendships with other people who also do not experience relationship decay has truly been such an enriching and fulfilling experience for me, and i’m grateful

Was told by a vet that you can 'probably' perform CPR on a snake, and all I could think was...

Alt: A fella in a party hat blowing one of those party streamer things that unroll as you blow into them. Whether snakes give a merry toot when you do this to them isn't mentioned in the scientific literature. Yet.

This got me good, but I was lucky not to have to be hospitalized like hundreds of others. Take this seriously and check your sensor serial numbers!
Hey, diabetics! If you use Freestyle Libre 3 or 3 Plus, there's a recall of some serial numbers. Potentially serious!
