I know a lot about medieval North African trade networks. I walk blind, but I try to see.

Entering my eunuch era
I’m not itching to be castrated, and you shouldn’t be either. But in this new epoch of medical capabilities, we must consider addressing lust as we do other neurochemical predispositions.

Argument was San Diego vs. San Francisco, and the latter according to my mom has "bad vibes" which is very funny in a slightly drunk southern accent from a 70something woman

My mom's main hobby is cooking and I taught her a Cuban pork recipe that she pulled off perfectly, so I had to come over for dinner. She and my dad are the only two boomers who have managed a timeshare successfully and had an argument over where to spend their points.

Just heard a black guy in the park use the hard-r in "fuck you, nward" on a conference call for the first time. His girlfriend goes "are you good, baby?" That's a first

Kenan Thompson is a ridiculously talented comic actor who would be a great Clarence in an It's a Wonderful Life remake. He will probably be the only person to have "Greedy Smurf" and "James Baldwin" in his filmography.

Also I'm the stomach flu in Sophomore year that was so bad my roommate drove me to urgent care and while hooking me up to an EV the nurse explained I may have died of dehydration within a few hours

Hi I'm a delicious piece of bulgogi that my handle under chewed and yanked out of my throat before I needed Heimlich to the great disgust of the female friend who I wanted to date and having dinner with

Had a great Seattle family brewery experience sitting at a table next to a mother and her little girl daughter playing some kind of card slap-table game while the little brother played a Switch autistically.

Got a mass email from Louis CK today. There's a blast from the past.

Unpopular opinion and possibly historically wrong: Martin Luther and John Calvin were both believing Christians who saw the power of new media (printing press) and became grifters as a result.

The bartender at my local was wearing a t-shirt that said "Donald Trump hates me," and when I asked him what the pattern of his watchband was, he said "NATO flag." Seismic vibe shifts are underway.

Conspiracy theory that I actually believe. Stewart Brand, The Grateful Dead, Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Kerouac, and Timothy Leary were all fished and paid by the CIA to get young Boomers into drugs and hedonism and divert them from left and anti-Vietnam activism.

Food bluesky: Why did fish not become a major part of the British/Irish diet unlike France/Spain/Italy/Scandinavia? There were fish and chips, granted, but that was an adaptation of a Sephardic dish.

That a guy who was a co-host of a podcast called "Cum Town" is now a millennial Dick Cavett is very strange.

Seriously, every piece of Reality TV except for GBBO is awful, for the people involved, and for you. Avoid it, and don't watch TV in the first place.

People debate over whether America is how it is because of 9/11, 2008, Trump, or ZIRP ending post COVID, but the real answer is the first season of Survivor, maybe the most evil piece of media in world history that didn't actively encourage genocide

Chill post—having made muhamarra with hazelnuts this morning, the fact that hazelnuts came from and were domesticated in Wisconsin seems deeply wrong.
