So I just watched a video of a Portland, OR coffee shop that fund-raised for SNAP recipients, and had amazing support. Kudos to them, and boo to the legislators wilfully withholding SNAP funding. But where are the deep-pocketed and massively profitable Walmart, Trader Joe's, etc? Do they care?

Zohran Mamdani "caught lying" when he asserted that "la plume de ma tante est dans le jardin", when, in fact, she was not his biological aunt, it was a biro, and it was in the dining room with Colonel Mustard.🕵️

How has he made it to (I'm guessing age) near-adulthood/adulthood without having seen it?

I am just bewildered by this article. Do you folks really not have pepper mills? And for me, growing up in Australia, the bougie tea towel was Irish linen, not French cotton. Linen is far superior for durability, tolerance for washing in hot water (for killing bacteria) and as a glass drying cloth.

What a sad little man. TBF, I haven't finished Enterprise, but must have watched everything else at least once if not multiple times.

I have been thinking lately, if you had billionaire money, i.e., more money than you could ever spend on yourself, what would you spend it on? I have thoughts. They don't involve Mars.

This article is missing an important caveat: storing cooked rice at room temperature or in the refrigerator for too long can produce a toxin that can't be destroyed by cooking. See, e.g., rightasrain.uwmedicine.org/body/food/le...

Here’s how to avoid it.

That Time article justifying Trump as POTY reads like the out-of-character text you would send to tell people you have been abducted.

The best photographs you take are the ones you take in your head, in the moment, when you don't have the right tools to hand to capture with a camera.

Sometimes I like to ask Chat-GPT little questions about things I know a lot about. Just for fun. Last night I asked it to tell me about Georgiana Houghton. It got several dates wrong, and completely omitted her interest in photography until prompted. Still largely useless as a research tool.

Australia: Yes, it is a problem. The previous government created it, and we are working very hard to ensure that it remains somebody else's problem and nothing to do with us at all.
