The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

Some of the special-edition detailing that KitchenAid did is pretty slick.

I *really* liked the look of the quilted stainless bowl; I think it has a nice retro-shiny appearance. But the glass bowl is nice too.

It seemed to me that a special-edition anniversary machine ought to actually be special, so I've set this one up to be a hundred-year machine. All of the cost-reduced modern parts that compromise reliability and durability are replaced with vintage parts (some brand new) that will go the distance.

As a recent-production machine, it had the usual late-series cost reductions: plastic speed control link, cheaper rear motor bearing, plastic bushings on the pinion drive, low grease load.

The Queen of Hearts itself came in two variants: one with the standard glass bowl, and one with the standard stainless bowl.

Back in 2021, I was very lucky to find this machine used, but in its (slightly beat up) original box. This one came with the glass bowl rather than stainless.

In 2019, KitchenAid released two Artisan-type mixers to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the brand; one in Misty Blue with white anniversary trim, and the "Queen of Hearts", colored in Passion Red with chrome accents and its own unique anniversary trim.

It'll take a little getting used to, but it's a game changer. Good luck.
