I started The Practical Kitchen back in 2019 after burning out hard in media and tech jobs. I was freelancing and decided to see if I enjoyed writing about food and developing recipes as much as I liked cooking and baking. Turns out I did! And now it’s my full time job. 💻: thepracticalkitchen.com

This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

(The dozen or so compliments I get when I bring one of her breads or desserts to a rehearsal may have something to do with that...)

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Biden commuted their death sentences, so Trump retaliated by making their lives living hell, putting them in the country's most brutal prison, where they "spend 22 to 24 hours a day locked alone inside concrete cells that are smaller than a standard parking space."
Pure, pointless cruelty.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
