Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

This novel is superbly atmospheric and creepy and engrossing. You'll absolutely love it.
Big day for me and the other J -- my son Josh. The Glass Eel audiobook is launched. Download it wherever you do that sort of thing. You won't be sorry. Even the NY Times thinks so.

Then Grok said that I was right and it must be AI.
Grok: "It *looks* like a high-end editorial (maybe for a sci-fi mag or album cover), but that’s the point—AI thrives on mimicking that. If you generated it (or know the prompt/source), spill! Otherwise, solid call on spotting the fake."

Toast some spices — cumin, coriander, allspice, star anise, cloves, cinnamon. Don’t burn them! Mix into the chili mole.
The mole should be thick and flavorful but also kinda bland because there’s no salt. This is your flavor base.

you have to hunt a bit for the results (though delivered through a nice infographic) so a partial list of the brands that tested low: Optimum Nutrition (whey, not the mass gainer) Owyn, Transparent Labs
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements
we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

For anyone who needs respite from the news, I highly recommend Taskmaster, an extremely silly long-running UK show in which five comedians compete at absurd tasks. Low-stress, high-pleasure, lots of laughs, utterly disconnected from reality. As your doctor, I hereby prescribe one episode minimum.
