Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
They paved Paradise, put up a parking lot

This is great, and I was particularly glad to see Alissa note that there's plenty of blame to go around here, including for all the Platforms that are so hungry for Content these days.

Strong incentives for artists to take shortcuts have existed in the past, but doing so has never been this easy!

not sure how many folks who knew Khashoggi are still left at WaPo, but they're surely incensed right now

Good to see that American journalists aren't letting this go unremarked upon. See another appropriate framing from NYT here:

You might sneer at the idea of vegetarian chili, but this is the PERFECT fall meal. (The recipe makes enough to last 2 people multiple days!)

Re: handwritten note: Adjust the heat level to your liking.

Pro-tip: Sprinkle some shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar) on top and let it melt a bit!

Here's a fun Jeopardy! origin story for @aaronlevinefox13.bsky.social! (shared w/ permission)

We don't know each other, but he sent me this nice DM the day after my episode aired.

It took just over 4 years, but he's now a Jeopardy! champion, with an impressive wire-to-wire win yesterday! Congrats!

a cropped page from Bruce's Big Storm by Ryan T. Higgins (published 2019), which is one of the books in our toddler's library — the full line on the right is "It's for rumpusing":

things you can do when you're unemployed (and your kid's in daycare): trek into Manhattan to see a nearly three-hour movie with your wife at 11:10 on a weekday morning, projected *on film* in VistaVision, sitting near the dead center of one of the optimal rows
