Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

When I told my 11-year-old she could pick a recipe from the baking book that we could make together, I figured she'd pick cookies or brownies or cupcakes. But of course, she picked a ridiculously complicated pastry recipe--profiteroles with homemade whipped cream and chocolate ganache.

The first wolf in LA County in 100 years
A single young female wolf made it all the way south to Los Angeles County! I'm amazed at the dispersal distances of these animals. Imagine how much vacant habitat she passed through, wandering the Sierra looking for a beau. A new star in town to take over the legacy of P22, may he rest in peace. 🦊🌎
Wolf visits Los Angeles County for first time in 100 years, California wildlife officials say
California wildlife officials say that the wolf, which was born in Plumas County north of Lake Tahoe, traversed through the Sierra Nevada and was detected northwest of Lancaster early Saturday.

Iran sentences Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi to seven more years in prison
Iran sentences Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi to seven more years in prison
Women’s and human rights activist, arrested at a demonstration in December, is said to be on hunger strike
Iran has sentenced the Nobel peace prize laureate Narges Mohammadi to more than seven more years in prison after she began a hunger strike, her supporters said Sunday, as Tehran cracks down on all dissent following nationwide protests and the deaths of thousands at the hands of security forces.
The new convictions against Mohammadi come as Iran tries to negotiate with the US over its nuclear programme to avert a military strike threatened by Donald Trump. Iran’s top diplomat said on Sunday that Tehran’s strength came from its ability to “say no to the great powers”, striking a maximalist position just after negotiations in Oman with the US.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019.
He didn’t die until August 10.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?
