"You know, as an example, red lead was used to make cheddar... A can of coffee could be coffee, but it could be ground bone, or charred shells, or dirt." Deborah Blum on our bad food past -- and how to avoid it being our future: buttondown.com/theswordandt...

Been busy and productive and not making much jewelry, but I love this freakish beauty. Also, hi everyone.

i think it is very Good and Cool for the rule of law that a top staffer is behaving like a lieutenant in a high level drug enterprise

"The New Segregationists" is a more accurate headline. You could go through nearly this entire article replacing "anti-DEI" with "segregationist," and it would work. Homogeneity is the opposite of diversity, which is what they aim for. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

A big reason the tech billionaires are so interested in government now is they’re not innovating or building anything of value so they need protectionism & monopolistic leverage

How did we never figure out before that Lady Catherine got Georgiana Darcy a governess? I feel like an idiot. As always in Austen, it was there in front of our noses the whole time.

Among the 19 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 but did not vote at all in 2024, a YouGov poll found 29% said they declined to vote for Harris over her support for Israel's assault on Gaza--more than any other issue including the economy (24%) and immigration (11%)

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.

Big epic costume dramas ruled and those need damsels in distress. (“Distress” pretty much always includes “ravishing.”) Some damsels get saved by heroes and some save themselves by courageous suicide attempts that awe their rapist into immediate respect and deference. bsky.app/profile/myth...

How did I never realize that The Three Musketeers is about finally getting vengeance on a beautiful but evil seductress who, Forrest Gump-like, it turns out has been the root of all international (+personal) evil in Europe? Reading early 1800s popular fiction is a mind fuck. Women are alien beings.

I'm reading the Blake Lively complaint and it's just describing repeated instances of sexual assault, followed by gaslighting. Textbook. (I know there's worse coming bc I've seen it posted but this counts, too.) His instinctive defense when confronted is pure Trump: “I'm not even attracted to you.”

I got cat's eye chrysoberyl sticks to make talisman pendants and this shit is wild. I'd never seen the stone in person and I am absolutely mesmerized. Worth the torture of the wait.

Elizabeth Bennet was the first petty bitch heroine. Reveling in “the enjoyment of all her former dislike” of the Bingley sisters and leaving Lady Catherine in ashes. Joyously imperfect. An excellent walker. “True, you knew no actual good of me, but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love.”

I really like Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, but you don’t get it unless you’re imagining the scene: a terrible war is just finished, you’re celebrating at a great fireworks show, but before the show the aged Handel shows up, drops this total banger, and then the colossal stage burns down

Not according to Eric Adams. He basically said it was to 1) look luigi in the eye 2) make CEOs feel better because their mental health is suffering. No, I'm serious. Just a stupid, bad PR move.
