I agree with that. I’m just saying that in my case Talarico is saying something I’ve been waiting to hear for a long time. And it’s fertile pioneer ground for attacking GOP and MAGA. And that’s why GOP is scared of him.
I voted for Talarico because he’s willing to say things I’ve been waiting 40 years for D’s nationwide to say, like “There’s nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism.” That message is a step forward.
Right. It's not cooked. It's mostly vinegar which works on the components over time like it does pickles.
Eastern N.C. barbecue sauce. Will be ready to consume in 2 weeks.
Just got this ARC of Emily LaBarge's upcoming book. Stoked. She's a brilliant thinker and writer.
I don’t know. Her prime influences are Joni Mitchell and Radiohead and Fleet Foxes and Nina Simone.
Madison Cunningham in general but especially her recent album, Ace
In film after film, Frederick Wiseman watched with preternatural patience as systems revealed themselves through the tenacious, irreducible vitality of the people inside them.
I kept returning to his films while reporting my book, hoping to absorb some of that patience.
Such a profound loss.
I nominate Jem Cohen
People are desperate to feel connected, to feel community and meaning. I can see that being manifest in many developments, some heartwarming, some forced, and some of everything.
A pet peeve is going to a museum in the dead of winter, a visit I had been anticipating highly, and then being unpleasantly warm/hot inside, sweating actually. Yesterday my base layer was wet with sweat. Not sure why many museums are so warm in the winter and cold in the summer.
Headed to Vancouver and then Sechelt, B.C. this week. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
I've watched countless cooking videos on youtube, virtually ever cuisine on the planet, and I've never seen a professional chef measure fresh garlic in spoon measurements. NY Times does, though.
I hate when they say, "one tablespoon of minced garlic." Who actually measures minced garlic like that? Maybe if you buy one of those little jars of garlic already minced.
Anybody else feel like the New York Times cooking section daily recipes are often mediocre? So many of them look great, and then I try them, verbatim, and the results are pretty lame.
I own W. Eugene Smith’s custom made stainless steel darkroom sink, made circa 1957 for his loft at 6th Ave and 28th NYC

They are clearly tired especially on defense
You can pick those assholes out in a crowd. It’s always the same kind of guy.
IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST TO FIND A WAY TO BE VERY TENDER
Agree. I like the studio with Blake and Udonis. Feels like a fresh new era of NBA with more open passing offense and less ball hog isolation ball.
What a great piece! This just gets better and better as you read.

“We look forward to hosting (former Vice President Kamala Harris) at Thalia Mara Hall and sharing in the dialogue her visit will spark about the future of our democracy,” Jackson Mayor John Horhn said.
My latest interlibrary loan caper. Came from University of Houston music library, which my phone indicates is 101 miles from where I'm typing now. The public library branch here in downtown Bryan, TX is about a 200 yard walk, across railroad tracks. Interlibrary loan makes me feel alive.
wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics
Earlier this year @texashighways.bsky.social published an essay I wrote about first three years living in Texas. Piece has some autobiography, plus a subtle troll of fish and game culture here. Yesterday, an audio version with me reading was published, found here:

Absolutely wild that there's an NPR story about states preparing a year ahead for election interference *by the president of the United States*
This new letterpress edition of my essay on Jason Molina is available from craftsman Jon Beacham, a favorite collaboration of my career. Jon puts all proceeds from sales back into his work. This edition mostly sold out pre-order. Some left today will go fast.
