Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

My favorite thing about the California state capitol building is that, at night, you can see Jerry Brown's "controversial" portrait inside from half a mile away

amazing thread
there's sort of an inverted bell curve effect with websites where you can buy stuff, where' there's Normal Store like target or whatever, and then a lot of stuff where it sketches you out, and then there's a website that is so incredibly bad that it's obviously the Most Legit Specialist Company Ever

everyone has always been obsessed with pygmy hippos
Before Moo Deng, There Was ‘William Johnson Hippopotamus’
During the Roaring ’20s, the American National Zoo welcomed the first pygmy hippo superstar.

Another great way to ensure a calm, civil Thanksgiving is to insist that everyone discuss only one topic, ideally the Voynich manuscript.
Send a reading list of 10-12 academic papers and make sure everyone is ready to discuss the major theories and present new ones.
Fun for the whole family!

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

My mom has a towel rod holder that is two lifelike hands. Came with her house. On a random Etsy search I found out an artist in Emeryville made them, they’re CASTS OF HER HANDS, and I have the opportunity to REALLY surprise Mom this Christmas…

I wrote an article once about China’s “landscape” ice cream trend, and a restaurant here in CA has a few on the menu. This one (fresh milk flavored) is shaped like the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

I’m writing about sweet salads this week ahead of Thanksgiving. Apparently my grandmother used to make two kinds every time someone came over for dinner, and one of them was always grated carrots in orange Jell-O.
