Really excellent overview. Also check out Cuisine and Empire by Rachel Laudan and her essay A Plea for Culinary Modernism

I came up with a taco recipe in elementary school and made it for dinner over and over. It’s the right way to start

Possibly worse when I was a living-in-LA tween. Showed up to an event she was speaking at with copies of every book she had written up to that point for her to sign. Had the first sentence of I Was a Teenage Fairy memorized.

He died in a New York brothel that’s now a musical theater piano bar

Bread Overhead by Fritz Leiber Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

Fritz Leiber and my grandfather were coworkers! They edited encyclopedias together right out of college. This is our family’s favorite story of his: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/22579

“Fear Itself,” the episode of Buffy with the adorable fear demon, while studying the concept of cuteness in English class. We were reading Gulliver’s Travels

Legitimately, when I’m in a regulated place I feel like I have better social skills than many neurotypicals these days because I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out how to exist in their world

Advocating for more Asian representation at continental breakfast

DS9 did tell us the 2020s would be rough

one factor in Mamdani's appeal is "what if I had an elected official who didn't hate my guts?"

So at this point the “center” means that people get hurt, that we're allowed to kidnap immigrants from their home, that we're allowed to throw trans people under the bus and deny them life-saving care. And that's not the center. That is fascist. That's capitulating. Compromise isn't getting your hand cut off and being grateful that they left you your pinky. Compromise means that each person gets something and maybe each person loses something, but you're actually making a difference.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Can’t wait to never have to look at Andrew Cuomo’s face or hear his voice ever again.

Waiting for Zohran Mamdani to be announced as mayor, like a person dying of thirst waits for a glass of water. I love NYC so much and we deserve a mayor who will fight for working class and poor folks who are and have always been the backbone of this city and everything that has ever made it great.🙏

Henry Kissinger has endorsed Cuomo from hell.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

It does take a little bit to get going. Well worth sticking with it though

again, don't rank cuomo. just the shittiest, pettiest, laziest person.

The thing about Cuomo is that it doesn't even seem like he actually wants to be mayor of New York, y'know? He wants a job, he wants prestige, he wants a stepping stone, he wants power, he wants "redemption". But you don't get any sense that he has any actual interest in running the city.

Bought a Ninja blender/food processor and deeply regretted it. It has since been replaced with a Cuisinart

In fifth grade I was on a trip with several other kids from my elementary school. In the airport after we landed a bunch of girls started screaming. Frankie Muniz was also at LAX, and they surrounded him entirely.

I, being from a cartoons and documentaries household, did not care.

If I was a New Yorker…

But most importantly, Andrew Cuomo would not be in my ballot. He shouldn’t be on yours either.

It’s a beautiful loaf!

Elijah Wood is also good at Weird Bullshit

He was great. He and Jonathan Groff played off each other so well. He knows exactly what his strengths are and since Charlie is this sort of schlubby writer, he really highlights them.

It’s important to know how your civic services are governed and funded and championed — and that’s (part of) what were discussing today!
