How to mislead with a graph in one easy step. It is a -0.38% change. There is no boom but neither is there a bust. Might as well be called unchanged.
The President has put tariffs on the whole economy in an effort to revive manufacturing.

All of my cats have been "Domestic Short Hair" from shelters and rescues. Adopt don't shop.
Your phone cannot tell you if your cat is a certain breed. My phone thought Fergus and Francie were a shih tzu. If you got your cat from a shelter or picked it up as a stray it is OVERWHELMINGLY likely that you have a standard mixed breed cat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I make fond blanc from chicken carcasses all the time. I learned to do this from Jacques Pepin. It is a good way to be frugal and use the entire bird. Just freeze the carcass from roasted birds, then when you have a few, pop them in a stock pot with aromatics. Defat and freeze the resulting stock.
Pulled a chicken carcass from the freezer and popped it into the Instant Pot with some veggies and herbs to make some chicken broth. Post straining; just reducing a bit before dividing up for the freezer. Thanksgiving prep is underway.

I guess @nytpitchbot.bsky.social will be posting a new column idea extolling Trump as a hero of the net-zero movement.
Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts.

This is a perfect album.
On this day in 1984, Bryan Adams released his fourth studio album Reckless. The album sold 12 million copies and was the first Canadian album to sell over one million copies in Canada where it went 11x platinum. It won three Junos and earned a Grammy nomination.
