Back in the 20th century I once had a jazz drummer sweetheart who drove a lot for out-of-town gigs. He always carried the very best coffee-making utensils, with coffee beans. Road coffee was never an option.
there’s a structural reason here. mamdani’s response was to take an opportunity to make content - and therefore give the rest of the media some easy meta-content - and turn it down. he put governing ahead of content. our political media hates nothing more than someone who denies them easy content.
This is the way. I get so frustrated with events and companies in my town of Boulder, supposedly so eco-aware, that only mention parking and never transit options. Not even a mention. Could be a climate change-focused event and they'd still tell you where to park.
ah, there is that
My new metric for the state of the economy is the number of recipes I'm seeing that feature cabbage as the main ingredient.
I'm the same age as Caroline, and I've always followed and admired her. And love that Jacqueline became a book editor, and a very good one.
An incredible obituary of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, from May 6, 1994, which the New York Times has republished from its archives for Women's History Month. What a life, and only 64 when she died — in my memory she was older. Gift article.
As someone whose household lost 60% of our income two years ago, I feel Matt’s pain. His bookstore is wonderful. Here’s a particularly good haul from @mzspress.bsky.social
I'm also a Dyatlov Pass truth seeker, such a fascinating event
"I think the counter to Trump always has been and always will be civil society. A lot of the left wants social change to look like the French Revolution or Che Guevara. Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war."- @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

How does Iran give the orange one the "unconditional surrender" he wants if we're not at war? Asking for humanity.
Even if it were good at writing prose or doing philosophy—and thus far it isn’t —to use AI to write or philosophize would be to render those activities futile. In some of the sciences, some of the time, the point is the outcome—the vaccine, the medicine, the finding, the technology. In the humanities, the point is the process. The point of writing is to make something beautiful or interesting; the point of reading a book or a philosophy paper is, at least in large part, to make contact with another human mind

I feel this
Just listened to this episode! Loved it all. I haven't seen the movie yet, have heard great things about the book and I love that I now have this context.
Fascinating! That's my alma mater, went there in olden days, but that wasn't part of the curriculum then.
Wow. Do the inviters include the women journalists that he's mocked, insulted, berated, spoken disparagely about their looks, and refused to respond to?
I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.
Something you notice in the winter is that cyclists and pedestrians have to justify maintenance of their infrastructure in a way that drivers never do
believe me, it's better than hearing the muzak version of the soundtrack of your youth in your periodontist's office
Yes. For things like local yarn stores! So we can all knit our red hats.
The photo shows my best score on a color recognition game - 45.66 our of a possible 50, better than 95% of players. In the game you're shown a color, then use slider bars to recreate it from memory; score is for a set of five colors.
if you need a break from news, this is a super fun game to test your ability to match colors. My scores were disappointing until I turned off TrueTone on my screen — much better. Thanks @fredrick.bsky.social for the link in Seven Good Things. dialed.gg?c=Z9U3DH

This poor man. It's heartbreaking to think how cold and bewildered and scared he must have been.
Imagine your guest turns up with her. Ick.
