If you want to know why Pete Hegseth is confident he'll face no consequences for blatant war crimes, just look at the list of people who attended Dick Cheney's funeral.

“The central goal of this project is to light up the sky and extend daylight and obviously, from an astronomical perspective, that’s pretty catastrophic,” Robert Massey, deputy executive director at the Royal Astronomical Society of the UK told the publication."

I'm genuinely shocked by this behavior from the French. They, of all people, should know that you coat in egg BEFORE you dredge in flour. He's never going to fry up properly now.

Wanted to highlight this as I push people toward shopping their indies! As a former bookseller, this resonates. The 1st request would get me looking into the book, the 2nd would put it into consideration, and the 3rd would result in additional orders (generally speaking). Your interest matters!
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024.
This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

one of my favorite examples of the ways that social consensuses can coalesce around convenient lies-- with no malicious actor behind them!-- is that every recipe lies about how long onions take the cook.

This got me thinking….how do we as a society normalize pumpkin pie as a breakfast option at restaurants year round? Who will be the change we want to see in the world?
It turns out Mina and I have identical pie takes (literally had home made pumpkin pie for breakfast this morning before kids woke up).
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up
