"take these barely seasoned smooshed chickpeas and dip them in unimproved tahini" what are you talking about, why would I do that.
Over lunch we were playing a loosely defined game of "rank things" and I called falafel the worst vegetarian snack and the way people got big mad at me was very validating.

My dad and stepmom's church do this little global market jawn every year ahead of Christmas, and less importantly it's actually a wicked good oil, but also this is like year six or seven that she's given us a bottle, and the fact that it's still in production after all of everything means a lot.

Few things in life I enjoy more than listening to Rhapsody In Blue while cruising on a train.

Learning that James Ransone i.e. Ziggy Sobotka died Friday of suicide. He was 46, survived by his wife and two kids.
Only learning now that he had an extremely hard childhood. Parents/kid-adjacent folk should consider not delving too deeply.
He was a great actor. Sad story. Hope hes found peace.

Don't drink Yerba Mate. Extreme quality control issues, I have it on strong authority that they're going through super gross canning problems.

Just as a bit of housekeeping since I've been lurking more than sharing lately: work is fucking miserable. Just being psychically flogged every day by terrible people in control of my destiny.
But on the positive side, I finally got a resume draft together and out to peers for review.

Don't be the one bringing the bugs to holiday celebrations,especially if you've got oldsters in your life. It's a good time of year to be masking (he says while wearing a KN95 in a hospital waiting room)!
Hanging with mom at her appointment, hair tall, face masked. Desperate to avoid any of the bugs going around - my mom almost died from Covid last year.
If you haven’t been masking - now’s a great time to start again :) save yourself from these nasty things going around.

Wicked unusual for me to be up and active this time of day. Shoveled two other houses' sidewalks, said hi to some neighbors. This really is a pretty good block, I got lucky.

Will be giving serious critical thought to whether Rizzo or Pepe is the better foil to Gonzo.
Over/under is three viewings this year.
My spirits need lifting, so it's time for the first viewing of Muppets' Christmas Carol this season.

Good thread, a lot to think about wrt the young cats in my life who still really kind of worship? deify? TSwift. I imagine it would be really hard to come to grips with the idea of your fave weaponizing her whiteness, but it seems increasingly the case.
Probably a 🧵
So I’ll admit that for a long time, I brushed off a lot of the criticism of Taylor Swift as misogyny. I wasn’t a huge fan during the early years, but a lot of what people had to say about her *was* misogynistic. And sure, she was manufactured, but so was N*Sync, right?

Also (and this isn't the first year I've been struck by this) it seems like the musical acts trend more "country" (i.e. white) toward the end.
Watching network tv for the first time in months (the parade obvi) and wow mainstream commercials sure are something.
I'm less surprised that Dylan licensed Girl From The North Country than the fact that he licensed it to EffBook.
