This is definitely one of those "I didn't know he was still alive" situations.

Lotus.

Garmin Venu 3s. I pretty much never wear anything else. And now you can see I've been a desk potato all day.

This is all so incredibly rattling. US politicians have spent decades concerned with jihad and now they (we) are openly bringing their god into the war they started?
At this point I shouldn't be surprised, and maybe I'm not, but it's still worrisome.

It’s so rough. I often find myself wondering what the hell we’re actually doing.

We've been murdering our own children in their schools for years and years.

For reference (assume tons of trigger warnings):

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

This is deeply disturbing. I wonder if any of these students are in any of my classes.

#1: Comoros. Sweet Pea Soup with Coconut and Ginger Of all the countries where this project could have started, it never in a million years occurred to me that it might be Comoros.

The first country post of the Passport to Eat project is now out in the world!

I'm being a basic bitch here, but I'm so looking forward to ramp season for no other reason than to make a ramp puree to eat over dal and rice. I've been thinking about it for weeks.

This daylight at 7pm is throwing me off.

Oof

Anyway we know the economy has been in the toilet from the number of "upscale American comfort" restaurants serving fries with truffle aioli again

Score!

I've concluded that while I love a good police procedural, I can't like watching the bad guy do bad guy stuff. Probably for the same reason I don't watch horror of any type.

Out of curiosity, question for those of you who teach in person. Have you had students who wear these sort of glasses?

Today I learned there's a newish show with Detective Alex Cross (from James Patterson's books). I had a quick look at the first couple of episodes and I cannot help but imagine Morgan Freeman in the role.
I also don't like that the show is not based on any one of the Patterson stories.

The Incuriosity Engine There was a great article that Namanyay Goel wrote this week about how AI is leading to junior developers who can’t code that’s worth your…

This spring semester I've started assigning this Medium article to students (all online) as part of my case against AI.
I think about this issue of curiosity a lot because I'm such a curious person and lack of curiosity is so baffling to me.

They look so pretty.

Today I made black currant brioche buns with lemon macaronade on top. I need to do a better job distributing the fruit next time but they are so delicious.

Welcome to Passport to Eat Cooking One Dish From Every Country in the World

One of my toxic traits is that I love starting new projects and make my life more difficult. This one lived rent free in my head for years before I finally started it.
I'm cooking one dish very every country!

I hope you follow along!

Línea Bakery Hello! My name is Juneisy and I am the baker behind Línea Bakery. I'm a (food) historian turned pastry cook and bread maker. I make breads and other baked goods in my small apartment kitchen in Brookl...

I've been running a (legal) mircrobakery on the side since last summer!

I hope it passes. Cottage foods have proven to be safe.
In NY we can't even melt chocolate. All states should be like Wyoming with its Food Freedom Act.

I just spent an hour and a half wandering around a shitty mall in Brooklyn while my phone was being repaired and the number of times I thought to take my phone out of my bag was astounding. It's such a subconscious thing now that it's worrisome.

Can’t wait to listen!
