FYI, Jonathan Choe is a "researcher" with the Discovery Institute, which by many accounts is an anti-evolution, religious right wing "think tank."

My 5-year old, who shares my endless fascination for the music of David Bowie finally discovered the iconic "Aladdin Sane" photo. He said to me, "Wait... is this David Bowie? Why is he dressed like a girl?"

Ahh.

It's like watching 1970s social history recapitulated in a child.

The technique for making curries is muscle memory. But I'll share the ingredients: soy curls (rehydrated in vegetable broth), tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, cumin, curry powder, sweet paprika, and garam masala. The non-vegan option: put a generous dollop of plain yogurt.

Buy them. It seems only Butler makes the soy curls. I just cook them as I would chicken!

Probably the best vegan substitute for Guyanese chicken curry I've found thus far: soy curls. Might not look like much, but it's freakin' delicious and sooooo much fibre.

Lazy Canadian Intellectuals Misread the Global Energy Transition

@maxfawcett and I discuss a prominent economist's view that there is no energy transition.

The evidence and data say otherwise.

For reasons I don't fully understand, my 1999 short story collection "Sweet Like Saltwater" is now once again an Amazon #1 bestseller in 3 categories. Hey, I'm not complaining.
