@waldo.net finally found a local source of respectable giardiniera! It's from the Chicago suburbs... Under a Middle Eastern brand and available at Medina Market over by Aldi. Not quite sure why it exists or is available where it is, but happy either way!

Just now learned (from @kenlburns.bsky.social "The West") about Emperor Norton. What a fascinating character, proving that San Francisco has been an accepting place for weirdos for a very long time. I can definitely imagine a Emperor Norton in 1990s Charlottesville. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor...

It's Nov 11th and I'm $329.15 away from hitting my annual out-of-pocket maximum on my health insurance (it's been an expensive year!). What should I get done to blow past it into 100% coverage land? Open to any/all ideas.

@kaine.senate.gov & @markwarner.bsky.social - no one is answering your phones. Hell, Tim doesn't even have voicemail. Sure, it's Sunday, but it's a Sunday when you might be about to vote. Don't cave. If you do, know that your constituents here in VA are prepared to support anyone that primaries you

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

A friend just found these old Little Johns and Saigon Cafe menus while sorting through old paperwork. I miss them both! And fondly remember $3.75 lunch specials at Saigon Cafe, served with a free cup of soup and a single chicken wing. #cville

I don't live in NY (and never plan to), but these debates are the best TV on the air right now. Best reality show ever. If you wrote the Silwa character in a piece of fiction, no one would believe you.

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"
Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."
He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.

Was just woken up by the woman in the seat next to me. Our flight didn't take off and we needed to deplane and wait for a new plane.
Sucks, but so it goes. That said, WTF does "tentatively landed" mean?
