Gourmet Magazine Gourmet is a worker-owned publication about food and the people who make and consume it.

CondΓ© Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

Californians, save on gas and electric with the CARE & FERA discount programs! Lots of people are eligible, large households can make over $100,000 and still qualify for discounts.

Two stick figures, one with a Santa hat and one with a chunk of cheese in its hand. The text above figure one: 1st-26th Dec. Festive.

Above figure two: 27th Dec- 31st Dec. Confused,
Full of cheese,
Unsure of the day of week.

At least I knew it was fiction, but I kept waiting for the jokes and just got more and more petrified 😭 I would have passed out if I caught this on TV back in 1992!

The poster for the BBC special β€œGhostwatch.”

The poster for the BBC special β€œGhostwatch.”

My local indie theater described β€œGhostwatch” as a β€œparody” and a β€œprank.” I, a horror weenie, loaded it up thinking it was a comedy 😭 😭 😭 It is…not a comedy.

Drawing of a heraldic device consisting of an escutcheon with a hot dog being knighted by a man, in place of standard helmet is a  jar of mustard, labeled "sinapi," supported by two wiener dogs on either side. Banderole below reads "CALIDUS CANIS"

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

My favorite thing about the California state capitol building is that, at night, you can see Jerry Brown's "controversial" portrait inside from half a mile away

I’m a movie person so I like how there’s the Dreamland, Tower, and Crest theaters for classic/indie film plus the Esquire for IMAX stuff. The area’s big on farmer’s markets and fun food events, plus there’s the occasional fashion markets like World’s Worst Expo.
