The closest I got to L’Oustau de Baumanière was peering through the dining room windows when it was closed for the season. The French elegance was seductive. If I had a time machine I’d go back and dine. I was visiting the medieval Provençal town of Les Baux.

Several books open and overlapping on a desk, the top one has a full colour photo of an older man wearing a blue painter’s coat and leaning on a still life of a floral arrangment.

Marcella's zucchini + pasta + pecorino + rosemary and parsley. Visually understated with off-the-chart flavour.

Fifty percent off. Poaching tonight.

"Quince is ginkgo-leaf yellow when ripe, and the pome is sensual to the eye and in hand — all Rubenesque curves and dimples. It was a symbol of love, happiness and fertility for the ancient Greeks. But its sauterne scent is the real seduction." Washington Post

"Oregon is considered solidly Democratic, and Donald Trump did not pay the $3,500 required for a candidate statement in the ballot handbook, although candidate statements were provided by the Democratic, We the People, Libertarian, and Pacific Green candidates.”

They did not vote for him.

Captain Obvious turned up in my comments today. I like when men assume I don’t know what’s going on. I also like Bluesky moderation tools.

Cordial reminder that Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva holds the final signature needed to release the Epstein files. Speaker Mike Johnson continues to delay her swearing-in—canceling House votes for the second consecutive week despite urgent legislative business—

Why does Canada need to be polite and proper under the pressure of an externally imposed economic depression? I'm not looking for dilomatic brawls, but we need to disagree on our values.

How many trips does Canada need to make to the Washington press corp and the Republican reality show? #Cdnpoli

I spoke with an editor once over affiliate links in a story. It's been going on for some time. Part of the business plan.

Graphic promoting Carney’s Cuts with Angella MacEwen, part of Perspectives by the Broadbent Institute. It features a quote from Angella MacEwen that reads: “Mark Carney is [fulfilling] Reagan’s dream: Deregulate, break the unions, and shrink government so you can drown it in the bathtub.” Below the quote, text reads: “— Angella MacEwen, Broadbent Fellow & CUPE National Senior Economist.” On the right side is a photo of Angella MacEwen, wearing glasses and a dark cardigan, smiling against a dark background.

This is how your "buddy" operates. Canadians don't want "partnerships" with a mob boss.

You promised Canadians diversification of trade, not deeper ties to criminals. #Cdnpoli #tarrifs

Who is tracking this? How many people are disappearing?

American legacy media, like lawyers and tech bros, are spineless cowards. It's impossible to imagine how this will ever be made right.

With all the caveats about anonymous posters, this is still staggering, a revelation of what a sliver we see reported across mainstream & alt media combined; and this itself is obviously just a sliver. www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/...
