Right?! It's the whole point of these novels - and half the fun of these posts is seeing you briefly hit/pass-by a big point without quite realising how big it is...and knowing how you'll enjoy it when everything comes together!

I was in the Sheep Heid once, when a cat strode in and visited the tables, but that felt more like 'this cat has a local' than 'this pub has a cat'...

After buying expensive knives in my younger years I'm now a huge fan of Victorinox. Best paring and chef's knives I've ever owned.

Your public clowning has value - it got me to finally switch everything to Qobuz instead of keeping both around - thx!

Second this advice. Just figure out if you want USB or Wired(Ethernet) - I found Brother options for either - and then make sure the scanning workflow suits your friend's needs.

There is a coffee shop in NH, Flamingos, that received a 2-star Yelp review saying they were "Disgustingly Pro-Women" Not only does this shop serve fantastic drinks but apparently they know how to make lemonade from lemons The shirt is very popular and part of the proceeds go to their community

I'm a no-coriander person and if I want a little more personality than just parsley, I've had excellent luck with thai basil. (I'll add some to your fish finger bhorta recipe tomorrow night!) I will definitely try it in this tahini sauce.

I have a really common first name and one of my customers accidentally copied me on an email with his colleagues. Within two minutes he emailed to explain and apologise. We are *all* overqualified to be SecDef.

I just got back from 36 hours in Ukraine with my brother Scott. Wanted to share a story from while we were there. At a hospital, we talked with a wounded Ukrainian soldier. I asked him what he thought about the recent change in US policy. His response in English was, “What the fuck.”

There is a best and worst case for what is motivating Trump's strategy on Russia and Ukraine. I've thought about them for this piece. But in a sense it's immaterial- either way Zelensky is being set up for an impossible choice: surrender or blame. Writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Trump is setting Ukraine up for an appalling choice: surrender or blame.

What's the best and worst case for the Trump Russia strategy?

Russia launching a drone strike on Chernobyl is a Putin fist pump for Trump laying down like the little PAB he has always been. MAGA hates Ukraine because bravery itself offends them, they’re a cult built around weakness & subservience. Toxic cowards prancing around as pretend tough guys, pitiful.

“Less than a month into Trump’s second term, the president and those around him seem to be talking themselves" into crossing a line: defying a court order, writes Quinta Jurecic. If they do, there is a “road map—but beyond that, not so much”:
