Despite some recent back sliding food safety is lightyears ahead of what it used to be, like in every area; grocery stores & restaurants. Also, restaurants are amazing these days.

I, uh, I can't help but notice you left out the slaver's rebellion or the Nazis on the list of people to go fight. Funny, that.

In this Ohio diner, Hawkeye still means Alan Alda. But they do know this: Senator Eric Schmitt’s staffers looked about as nervous as Radar O’Reilly after yesterday‘s basketball gaffe.

I get irrationally upset when ppl refer to Orthodox ppl going to Mass. Especially in a novel or best selling book, do a bit of research.

How quickly did hot peppers promulgate through the old world and how quickly did they get very hot? Like if I went back in time to some point in SE Asia, when are my curries hot?

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

My sister lives in Indonesia and I asked her to get me some Pokémon cards from there. She went down to their equivalent of Walmart & found boxes of the latest set. I’m paying between $10-$14 per pack these days, she’s paying $2 a pack.

In the Old Calendar today's reading is from John 15 about Christians being hated by the world. I think most American Christians these days take that as an excuse to be assholes & then be like "Jesus said people would hate us" 🤷

I am starting to think that Einstein quote about rocks & WW3 is prophetic but in the sense that increasingly low tech (and low cost) solutions seem to be winning out over high tech (and expensive) technology.

(b) is especially demoralizing given the amount of deaths & suffering Trump and his administration has inflicted on this country & the world. Bush II started an illegal war that killed millions & nothing was done. Our country seems incapable of holding elites accountable.

Mamdani could do the funniest/best thing and just call the First Ecumenical Council of New York City to reconcile the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Apostolic churches (pictured) Sure it's uncharted territory, but so was Nicaea I when barely-Christian Constantine called it in AD 325

Rod Dreher thinks Bin Laden is gloating in hell. To me this is a sign of someone who does not take the concept of the afterlife seriously. As though in Heaven or hell we will care about our ideologies or culture war fight rather than confronting our own soul & the sufficiency or deficiency of it.

I’m listening to the Know Your Enemy episode about Trump’s corruption & they talked about Hunter Biden. I recalled how the supposed big evidence for corruption was Hunter called his dad once and Biden picked up. But it makes sense when you realize Trump would never pick up if his sons called.
