How is it possible that we're all just cheerfully lining up to hand over the things that make us human?

For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

--Shakespeare, teaching the sin of emphathy

What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,

Plodding to th’ ports and costs for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silent by your brawl,
And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;

I just listened my way backwards to all the episodes of The Recipe, which is a delight. And the mac and cheese episode got me wondering if you'd ever heard of my Mom's approach to mac and cheese--which is to make the sauce in the blender (the fancy new appliance you got if you got married in 1960).

Owlcrate!!

Maybe it's all my years in Indiana, home of the Kinsey center, but I find it somewhat difficult to read "International Love Data Week" in the way it was presumably intended.
