Alright team I need recommendations for a book on the Salem Witch trials that you would recommend for a 12 year-old. What do you like?

But while we’re at it, here’s generations of my working class family harvesting the animal that ties us together. Toxic my ass. Take your nonsense elsewhere lady, or at least wait til I’ve had my coffee.

Bless your heart.

This was in response to a podcast on the history on Black barbecue. One of my favorite things is when they didn’t listen but have thoughts anyway.

But hey, if generations of foodways make for toxicity, sign me up. And BTW, if she’d actually listened, she’d know my favorite parts are the ears

Smoke, Memory, and the American Story Adrian Miller joins me to talk about why Black barbecue and Black foodways are essential to understanding labor, memory, community, and the American story.

Barbecue might be the most American food there is.

But the story of how it became that way—and the people who built those traditions—is more complicated than most of us realize.

@soulfoodscholar.bsky.social and I dig in below.

Pass the plate & share.

Barbecue might be the most American food there is.

So why don’t more people know the story of the Black pitmasters who helped build it?

: The NFL is reviving its Accelerator Program after a one-year hiatus, but the league will now invite non-diverse participants into the program originally created to increase and advance minority talent at the highest levels of teams. Story to come.

Here's the NFL capitulating to the most unpopular president of all time.

Another batch of books arrived today. I think this is about 50 in the last week. All of these look amazing and really excited to get these folks on the pod. If I ever sleep again.

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

A Father, A Son, and Seattle On long distances, imperfect conversations, and the quiet moments when you realize your kid was listening all along.

I flew 2,000 miles to take my 18-year-old son to Seattle for his birthday.

I thought I had failed the entire weekend.

A few days later, something happened.

New piece on fatherhood, distance, and the moments you almost miss.
