The future looms as a bleak and frightening possibility.
Stuffing. I make Kenji’a but swap in homemade sourdough (with some rye) for the store bought white bread. I like the slow cooker variant to preserve oven space

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

Just doing a bit of research about a wine we sell and came across the Gibbet of Montfaucon, and, lets say I understand why the French revolution took place 😂

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough.
There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

25 years ago this very evening, @bahocker.bsky.social and I eloped. I know what you’re thinking: “you guys are too old to only be married 25 years”. Well, our first date was dinner at Shady Glen and then over to the UA Theater to see “Stand by Me”. So we’ve been together since *checks notes* 1989?

A delightful piece about Wittgenstein’s “left-handed pages.”
(Which would be right-handed pages for me, but I’ve learned to accept that we live in an anti-leftist society.)

Long Covid is common - ~1 in 5 people have it, and it's on the rise. Reinfections add to the burden. It's the most common chronic condition in children.

I regret to report that no hour asleep was gained. We collectively slept the exact same amount of time as we would have without setting our clocks back. Because that's how human biology works.
