Mangalitsa is delicious. Comes from a wooly pig, which looks like a pig dressed up in a sheep costume.

When are you booking? NYC hotel prices in December are notoriously insane but I can usually find something around $350 the rest of the year. December hotel prices here in DC are pretty cheap right now.

“These islands” is one of my favorite little pieces of diplomatic language, so much context behind two words.

Wicked is much better if you pretend the second act doesn’t exist.

The “you know nothing of my work” scene from Annie Hall suddenly became real, it was a magical time.

“Fraught” is an odd word choice here in that article.

Daycare is over $25k/year per kid in DC. Our total aggregate out-of-pocket daycare costs were around $150k for 2 kids. This was in a federally-subsidized daycare.

My childcare costs are still around $10k/year per kid even with them in public school. After school care + day camps over school breaks, nothing fancy, it adds up.

I mean there’s a philosophical question about what the poverty line is measuring. Real median household income is ~2x what it was when the baseline was calculated, so relative to current standard of living someone at the poverty line is poorer today than they were in the past.

Just want to say I appreciate you posting the stuff you make despite the howling chorus of people demanding “RECIPE???”

Bergen county bans the sale of basically everything other than groceries on Sundays, it’s weird.

“About a Girl” is like a straight-up Beatles homage.

always remember: Terry Pratchett said trans rights

this book was written in 1996 by a 48 year old British man and no cis person in 2025 has a single goddamn excuse to behave differently

Is this about tattoos on service members?

Pretty common side effect according to my doc, it’s usually only used as an adjunct to stimulant meds in part for that reason. I already have a fair amount of lethargy so I take Wellbutrin as an adjunct instead, works well so far.

It’s more “inscrutable oriental” than anything. He wrote about Russia with a lot of nuance but phoned it in on China.
