Editor Elizabeth Mitchell: "The claw machine ... gives omens of death, portals to other dimensions, plushies that aren't what they seem, eggs filled with things you'd never imagine, and so much more."

I've archived my recipes off NYT Cooking, my last connection to the Gray Lady. She failed us this past year. I mourn her, but I mourn for the many people she has endangered more.
I'm subscribing to local papers now, and watching to see where the journalist who left WaPo and NYT land.

A couple years ago I researched my followers on Insta, where I rarely post. 902 were bots, fake, or scam accounts, which I blocked. the 98 remaining were friends. Apparently the % was right: 90% bots on platforms with public profiles. Got my first catfish follow here today. Blocked. That's the plan.
