Thinking lots about baking lately. Wittgenstein apparently once wrote that ‘Raisins may be the best part of a cake; but a bag of raisins is not better than a cake.’ @nigelwarburton.bsky.social calls this Wittgenstein's 'critique of pure raisin', which rather made my day. @wiglet1981.bsky.social

I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

What other songs feature footsteps (typically samples probably, but not looking for rhythmic use)? Typically the dress shoe on tile soundscape.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Target was at some point a good shopping experience. How did it skip “tolerable” and become “shit” so rapidly?
Are there any big box stores that have something better than a shit shopping experience these days?
Yes, I know I can get a good experience by hitting multiple boutiques; but time.

Liberals should support the whaling industry.
The benefits of this to the American economy are large. Natural resource extraction offers good-paying blue-collar jobs. It also generates useful tax revenue. In more abstract terms, it improves the country’s literary reputation and metaphor production

So TikTok’s new “American” ownership is actually 15% Abu Dhabi? I know there is so much going on that makes no sense in the world; but the number of articles that print the facts and don’t address the contradiction is that one step too far in the “huh” category.

There's all these Christmas songs about keeping kids under surveillance and scaring them into being obedient in exchange for consumerist goods.
Then there's Frosty the Snowman, which is about a haunted snow man animated by dark hat magic who comes to life and teaches kids not to listen to cops
