Famine is always political.
Why yes, I create a spreadsheet to organize my Christmas week meal plan ingredients shopping.

I was just reading an article about menopause that said in Victorian times the process was labelled Uterine Fury.

So that is what we shall call it henceforth.

Of course all the iron workers in the original “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” photo would probably be in ICE custody today.

I’m at the “sends photo of Xmas gift for Obi to his mom, asking ‘is this the correct whatchamacallit he said he wanted’?” stage of grandparenting.

In a remote location not far from Riley, OR, is Rimrock Draw, where buried beneath an old Mt. St. Helens' eruption is the site of the oldest human settlement in North America that we know of, so far. Predates the Clovis settlement by 5000 years, or more.

I have no recollection of this woman in the media during Covid, but this story is wild.

The pandemic has such a long tail…

I got a large box of mangos for fifteen bucks last week. I wanted to make mango chutney.

Tonight, I finally found nigella seeds at an Indian food emporium of awesomeness near Penhorn Mall.

This chutney will be epic, and I will pair it with a jar of my rhubarb chutney for fancy Holiday gifts.

Himself and I have been having conversations about sharing the mental load and he’s trying to help so today he went and got the holiday drinks list for all our entertaining.

But he didn’t tell me.

So today I nipped into PL and got the holidays drinks list.

Anyways, hic.

Rip HBO.
Netflix has won the bidding war to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and is now moving forward with a deal potentially worth over $70 billion.

Should their bid succeed, Netflix would own DC Comics, Harry Potter, Hanna-Barbera, HBO, and more.
