Great writing! My thought on the transition from dried to moist may have something to do with the shift from lamb to beef. Also the Eastern US is more humid in the summer making it harder to smoke to dry. I think this is why US bacon is almost always smoked, while British is not.

Mamdani ran an amazingly disciplined campaign, but this statement may prove to have been a mistake — not a big one, but still a mistake.

My father was a huge believer in safety belts, but long opposed seatbelt mandates. He didn’t chew gum ever that I can recall.

Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcasts handle 1789-1799, 1830, 1840 and 1870 all very well and by necessity explains how things flow from normal to revolution. Seasons 3, 6,7, and 8 I think.

Especially with Bessent promising a great 2026. These guys are not Orban. and Fidesz after the 2014 election in large part because the US in 2025 is not Hungary un 2014.
