So it turns out that in addition to cured meats (duh), fish (duh), and seaweed (huh?), MewMew is a fiend for apricots.

What leaders can learn from how Julius Caesar won followers and managed rivals
One of the secrets to Julius Caesar's success was the way that he developed and marketed a personal brand based on values and delivering on these values.

Amateurs. My spouse is *very* into making cocktails and will begrudgingly provide me with the Sir Laurence:
-fill the glass with olives
-then and only then add the dirty martini around them
So-called because it's "olivier" than he considers reasonable.

Not just that, but it’s in constant use and the needs have changed. I’m not mad we’re building a ballroom, even—we do use the White House for diplomacy and large events. Probably should’ve prioritized more office space first. DEFINITELY should‘ve gone through some kind of permitting and planning.
Academically I can see why people are bothered by the demolition of the east wing of the White House but ultimately it's a Presidential Palace built by slave labor that has ossified - it *should* be a living building, we should be Ship of Theseusing that shit.

Would Great-great Aunt Arbeth have imagined her fancy marble tabletop being used to skive and tool leather? Probably not. But seeing as how she lived through the Depression, and the tables themselves are lost, I doubt she’d have minded the repurposing.

Whatever the plural of axolotl is, Boston had an abundance of them.

I have learned that is an axolotl (ak suh la tul) costume and that it is an actually existing endangered aquatic salamander that lives only in the canals of Mexico City. Saw several today&thought I would share in case you too thought this was some kind of anime reference you weren’t getting.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.
If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”
