I decided that tonight I needed to sit down and catalog some of my recent #antiquariancookbooks purchases that have been piling up. I got a total of three books done because I kept stopping to read/translate/research/reference. It’s not glamorous but I rather enjoyed it.

One of the best things about San Francisco is the level of civic engagement i see in people. Lets do that everywhere. Stand up. Get the work done.

As The New Yorker turns 100, its art editor Françoise Mouly says the magazine's distinctive covers are meant to give readers "a sense of what's going on in the world, but not through words."

“Everyone is in favor of a plaque to celebrate the library, but the vast, vast majority are against including a MAGA acrostic,” he said, standing at a lectern with a microphone. “Unfortunately, it’s clear that this council does not listen.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/u...

All that housing the YIMBYs want isn’t going to happen.
