26 Heartwarming (and Heartbreaking) Recipe Comments About Food and Love Readers shared their tiny love stories and the dishes that played a part.

I am no fan of NYT but do love their cooking app (yes for the recipes but ALSO for the totally amazing comment section):

"This was so spicy our eyes literally watered while it was in the oven. My husband almost died. But I can get a new husband."

Read 'em all:

"Mummy says the World is still my Oyster and I believe her."

Good lord, whaaaaat.

Bad Bunny understood the assignment…

I went through a phase in college where I just footnoted the shit out of everything because of IJ. I don't think my professors were very amused, but I still appreciate the footnotes-as-novel approach.

No, we're outraged you aren't more outraged. ABOLISH ICE.

In awe of all the everyday people who are saving the country.

Unclench your jaw.

Relax your brow.

Go get a drink of water.

See if you've taken your meds

Eat something.

Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.

Because you do.

You're a wonderful person.

And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

So what can be done about all of this? To begin with, state and local election officials need to be ready to go to federal court to seek injunctions barring the government from seizing voting machines or otherwise interfering with the process of tabulating ballots. Trump might even try to send troops to seize ballots without a search warrant, and if that threat is real, proactive judicial action is necessary. These threats are most likely to materialize in those areas around the country with contested congressional races. Particular targets may be in those states, such as California and Arizona, where the tabulation of ballots takes a long time, so there is more time for Trump and his allies to act. State officials and the public need to support, with dollars and volunteers, election administrators and those who would hold the line against interference. The greater the transparency of the work of these administrators in tabulating ballots, and the quicker a fair count can take place, the harder it will be for Trump to have a legal excuse to try to interfere with the balloting.

So what can be done about Trump's potential interference with the 2026 midterms? As I write @slate.com:

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

What is the best app and why is it Readwise?

"NCAR is not just another research center. It is purpose-built critical infrastructure designed to integrate observations, modeling, supercomputing, and applied research in ways that no single university, agency, or contractor can replicate on its own."

Should we be so fortunate!

Things I Have Learned About Listening #01 A few things I have learned about listening from Krishanamurti, David Bohm, and Gemma Corradi Fiumara.

I spend a lot of time thinking about, researching, and practicing listening. I'm slowly starting to write about what I've learned, and you can read the first bit of it here: andreamignolo.com/the-becoming...

I love you, Minnesota.

Are there trainings out there that people like around "opsec for American activists"?

I think we absolutely do have a problem with "tons of understandable free-floating paranoia, and too little standardized, approachable guidance on how to realistically assess risk" right now.

¡No!

I have been hiccuping for almost two hours.

Autumn colors in North Carolina.

Be honest. As the airplane is loading, how many of you connect to someone else’s available headphones and send them some Icon of Coil to provide a soundtrack to the mayhem?

I know it’s not just me.

*tap tap* is this thing on?

What’s good? What do I need to know about this place?

Also, hi!
