@creshman.bsky.social’s presidential address on market power, critical minerals, and today’s conflicts was the perfect end to an excellent Peace Science weekend!

Brings to mind this graph from Peter Feaver’s 2023 book.

25% of Americans think the U.S. spends over $1 Trillion on the State Dept. The actual 2020 budget was $55 billion - but 74% of Americans thought it was at least $250 billion and more than half thought it was at least $450 billion.

there was a hell of a gender gap in that support - curious about the gender gap in the current figures

I love both Cookie + Kate and Love & Lemons blogs/books. This vegan enchilada is from Love & Lemons Everyday www.loveandlemons.com/favorite-rec.... The tofu texture is surprisingly nice in the filling, the cashew lime cream is light and fresh, radishes and other garnishes add fresh crispness
