He's from a town way closer to the city than, say, Naperville. (I knew him tangentially when he was a snot nosed prick.)

Wasn't Walz also pretty clear on this during the campaign?

Do you think candied ginger might work in lieu of the pineapple?

Only one of the New York Times young Trump voter dingbats believes Vance would be a good next leader of the GOP.

These people continue to be dingdongs but this is cold as ice

Tet too, but I guess those cuisines are already pretty integrated.

In the Valley of Gods (though maybe it hasn't been officially cancelled).

Huh. Mine changed from "look at this detectable Asian street food" and "chunky kitties" to "B-list comedians in the wild."

The Quintessential Urban Design of ‘Sesame Street’

Free idea: a @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social Wes Anderson Collection style book on the design of Sesame Street. I zoomed in on some of the pictures in this www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/r... for minutes at a time!

Well, everybody knows the Times fucked up here. What this skeet proposes is. . . maybe they didn't? (For their purposes)

Sure didn't. . .

But he also updated his Substack post with the definitely correct citrus!

This is the oldest online recipe of which I'm aware. Definitely no lime! web.archive.org/web/20090619...

The crazy part is thinking someone as devoid of charisma as J.D. could draw anything close to 10-20k . . .

I have a sport coat coming from PC and am wondering how much more I'm going to be on the hook what with that big tariff on stuff from Thailand. . . though I did notice that they increased their prices a bit this week.

cc @shokdiesel.bsky.social Didn't these folks tank a number of restaurants in Chicago as well?

It's also, weirdly, the WSJ. Who knew?!

It's Mystichrome!

Those Bar Harbor tins were (a big part of) how I got gout. Delicious! You might find pickled herring in wine sauce less offensive than the stuff in cream, especially if you can think of them as, uh, Northern European ceviche.

What happy ending?

Oddly enough, FIG always has gnocchi with lamb bolognese on the menu and they are excellent!

@jimbehymer.bsky.social Is this on the list?

Sula is awesome but he hardly reviews anymore.

#breakyourstreak Honestly it'll be fun to build this baby up again once the Tech Guild gets what it so richly deserves!

Purely anecdotal but there were a LOT more people lined up before the polls opened than in 2016 or 2020. (Fairly blue area in a very blue state.)

Just curious: were you were involved with the development of the ATK recipe?

I think it's even simpler than that. It seems that happiness is now feminine-coded.

Even better: it was raccoon! (For posterity because it's difficult to find. web.archive.org/web/20060513...)
