I *think* this a gift link 😭. I had the chance to talk with my dear friend & James Beard award winning food journalist @radbrowndads.bsky.social about the history, cultural legacy, & taste(!) of the bean pie. Here is his amazing piece in the Chicago Tribune. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/08/b...

My love of underground food continues: I searched Chicago for bean pie man, selling papers & sweets with a side of black liberation. I met with NOI & WD Muhammad community historians, bakers and sellers to get the local history. Also: bean pie ice cream!

Pls give me more people to follow, esp chaotic ones cause Bluesky isn’t doing it still for me

Dozens of my colleagues at Vox Media were laid off yesterday. It’s infuriating that this keeps happening. We’ve set up this fund to help ease their burden — please consider contributing. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

just turned on aquaman 2 and the tonal inconsistency is so jarring it’s actually entertaining

Every parent I know is posting conspiracies about Spotify Wrapped’s algos suppressing lullabies and kids music from their most listened songs. This must reveal something about our very psyche

Israel has reportedly contracted settler-owned construction firms to work in N. Gaza, hiring for building settlements in Beit Lahia. “Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing in N. Gaza.” former defence minister Moshe Ya’alon said www.dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-pr...

this is such a fun project to work on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate that the internet has made me aware of Paraboot. I can’t afford those and I don’t want to. And yet

We should either create a type of microwave you can put metal in or a society where it’s okay if your microwave explodes a lot

Folks, I'm spiced up to announce that @gretamjohnsen.bsky.social & I are co-hosting the Official Dune: Prophecy Podcast from HBO! It acts as a companion to the TV show, so each Sunday after watching live, tune in to us for interviews with cast & crew. Subscribe! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

One of the funniest reactionary discourses in a fandom is DBZ fans arguing Goku is not a bad dad in response to jokes about it. Folks. He loves his kids but he loves fighting way more and he certainly doesn’t do ANYTHING for them or really think about them. He’s a terrible dad. It’s not just a meme.

You used to call me on my self-own

In the past day I’ve heard two people who really should know better say they asked ChatGPT for factual info. ChatGPT is not a search engine. It is predictive text based on other people’s stolen writing; its whole job is to make stuff up. Please do not ask it for facts. Tell a friend.

bluesky is still struggling to be a place where i can hear about breaking news and, maybe more importantly, breaking memes. it has its own memes for sure, but it is, for better or worse, detached from a broader internet culture, and i'm hoping that will change

The annual @hels.bsky.social Christmas gift guide is literally the only holiday ritual I observe. It always leads me to incredible places, like this (sold-out!) cast-iron foot that's suggested use is.... for saging??? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

they should make a website that lasts

Somehow, The Last Jedi discourse returned

Having a satisfying day job writing things i care about has really killed the tweeting impulse. yabba dabba doooo

I would lose the Ahmed Ali Akbar lookalike contest. My doppelgängers historically have been very convincing. Since college, people report seeing me at places I’ve never been.

i mean. can we just call them tweets

So.... We REALLY not gonna revisit "skeet"?
