yummmmmmmmm

cranberry tart with ginger cookie crust (variation of nyt recipe); jalapeño honey cornbread (improvised riff on the laurel's kitchen cornbread my mom makes)

we're a sleep in and eat late house so the only food done is the cranberry tart looool

using "jan" or karen or whatever all the time is sexist so i do what i can 🙃

it's the equivalent of talking about your new fad diet at a party

& i resent that the collective internet algorithm rewards selling people shit above all else. i actually did my own gift guide in my newsletter in 2023 (i won't link because everything over a year old is paywalled & you can't even pay to subscribe rn cause i'm on hiatus)

it's still my top post ever

... i do in fact peruse gift guides every holiday season because i have loved ones i need to buy gifts for. but i resent/hate it all the same

i personally prefer the personality driven recommendations by strategist over the soulless seo-optimized amazon churn machine at wirecutter.

NYT: Pallets of overstock, returned, and undelivered-mail packages are an indicator of just how much stuff there is in the retail ecosystem.

Also NYT: Amazon's Black Friday sale is live, with deals on skin care, Apple products, games, toys, kitchen appliances, and more.

trying to wrap my brain about the psychology of people who are so convinced they're right they'll throw their own colleagues and entire field of study under the bus...

oh god i'm listening now. did you end up writing about it?

my brain hurts

but now i've moved on to richard lindzen, age 85 and retired from MIT in 2013. now, he can't be doing much now right??
