What would be a good price for a rice cooker for one person. I’m going to enter my rice era

Should you say “Amen” or “In the name of the F/S/HS, Amen” at the end of your homily? I used to do this but my priest absolutely insisted I not, for liturgical reasons that are too esoteric for me

I am trying these days not to think about issues in terms of coalition politics. Just ask what is right and what is wrong. Let the politicians sort out how to hold us all together.

Former Israeli PM Olmert in Haaretz, calls Israel’s assault on Gaza “intentional annihilation” and “war crimes.” Say that as a U.S. politician and AIPAC will spend $5 million to end your career. archive.ph/3vvOi

Just bought the worst Cold Brew of my life at the unauthorized pop up farmers market in town

I'm so annoyed about all the details in this story that don't make sense that I wrote a whole blog post about it. I got both way too technical and way too personal in here. Enjoy. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...

I spent many years on a menswear forum with Michael Anton, director of policy planning in Trump's administration. My editors asked if I'd be interested in writing something on him. I have so many stories to tell; this is only a small bit of our shared menswear world www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Not loving all of the ads for AI generated graphic tees that instagram is blasting me with

Headline doesn’t even get at how bad this was: it seems to have been to prevent them testifying about war crimes

The man told Noticias Telemundo that authorities took his ID from his wallet and told him it was fake before handcuffing him.

There’s one more day of school on Tuesday but I may or may not pick up a sub job that day. So very possibly, it’s summer!!!!!!

I realize posting this here is preaching to the choir. But after the Grok White Genocide thing & Ye essentially launching an exclusive Neo Nazi single on the platform... I felt motivated to write about X and how bizarre it is that so many people (news outlets, celebrities, politicians) use it

Today is always the right day to cancel your NYT subscription.

I found this statement written by white South African Christian leaders to be clarifying and encouraging. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

America’s national legislature has the oldest median age compared to dozens of wealthy democracies. And this graph just includes the House—the median senator is nearly a decade older than that. Full paper by @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social & @adambonica.bsky.social here: www.google.com/url?q=https%...

I am writing the scripts for Dr. J’Seuss, our summer program at the church. I was kind of putting this off until now but it’s fun because of all the wordplay

The body that once was tea will soon be kombucha. To dust you shall return

Abstraction with Reference to a Flowering Tree https://www.wikiart.org/en/paul-klee/abstraction-with-reference-to-a-flowering-tree-1925

NPR published a story 5 days ago about three high ranking Trump officials with clear ties to Hitler-admiring antisemites and it barely made a ripple. These are the kind of stories that used to end political careers. Now the subjects of the stories just hold up a middle finger and keep plowing ahead.

What does it mean!

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Most of their agenda polls like Defund the Police. No one in the press asks why they're committed to doing things that are unpopular because we have an electoral system that helps them win anyway. Democrats face more structural pressure to moderate. This is accepted as the natural order of things.
