Having lived through (and survived) the wet-brining mid-aughts, I cannot overstated how much easier it is to dry-brine.
What an ordeal it was to bring a giant lobster pot full of water, salt and spices to a boil before finding a container large enough to hold the turkey submerged in brine

wanna plug this one more time: there's a pretty much a whole secret deadcast episode about "one from the vault" hidden inside our "sage & spirit" episode! #deadfreaksunite
especially, this deadcast features an extended visit to the dead’s classic show at the great american music hall in ’75, now “one from the vault,” untangling myths & cricket stories with attendees, organizers, the venue’s house engineer, plus wee bits from donna jean. www.dead.net/deadcast/blu... /2

What Masto Josh! ⤵️
This is just so damn good. The perfect late night headphone listen. This continuous, repetitive, shape-shifting blob of music that you just lose yourself in, delighting in subtle and not so subtle shifts in the music.

LOL. Arrested by who?
HUNT: The president is talking about a third term. How seriously do you take that?
GALLEGO: I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that

I legit wonder if any of the folks who find any of this Platner stuff a deal breaker have actually taken the time to fully read up on him and to listen to his speeches and town halls.
I’m guessing not. But as an actual Maine voter, I have. 🤷♂️

Damnit, Janet
Maine Gov. Janet Mills, a two-term Democrat who drew the national spotlight after sparring with President Trump, plans to launch a campaign for Senate early next week, according to two people familiar with the decision.
Maine Gov. Janet Mills to run for Senate, seeking to dislodge Susan Collins
Mills, a two-term governor, will join an already crowded field of Democratic candidates hoping to challenge the Republican who has held the seat for nearly three decades.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I always have to remind people of this when they come at me with some weird idea of “jazz” being obscure or esoteric
sometimes i watch classic hollywood films — this happened recently with HIGH NOON — and i think, “yeah i get it, this whips.” i’m having a similar experience with music right now and specifically the work of duke ellington. i’m listening to the man’s work and i’m like, “yeah, this stuff is sick”
