oh my gosh what is this coincidence I got a carbon steel wok (via the recommendation of J Kenji Lopez-Alt, "The Wok: recipes and techniques") and I finally got it blued and seasoned last weekend 😁

Carbon steel wok, after blueing/torching it, but before oil. It has a shiny appearance not unlike an oil slick.

The image is slightly deceptive, it's a chipotle tomato salsa! It's blended but not oily.

NYT letter to the editor, April 28 1862

In adopting this method of gradual emancipation, there is no reason to doubt that the British Government acted on the honest conviction that a modified system of coerced labor for a limited period, substituted for unmitigated Slavery, would, on the whole, be safer and better for the negroes than immediate and unqualified liberty from the yoke of their owners, and would prepare them gradually for the boon of freedom. Two of the colonial Legislatures -- those of Antigua and the Bermudas -- availed themselves of the alternative which the British act gave them, of dispensing with the apprenticeship altogether, and giving, unrestricted freedom to their slaves.

Really seems like this is the fundamental cause of the Gaza massacre. Not the US, not even Hamas, but the domestic political incentives of the far-right Netanyahu government, which can only survive as long as the war does. https://x.com/idobenbaji/sta/idobenbaji/status/1747847847549304854

Evergreen meme for the so called "outdoor cat" apologists

@primawesome

My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying.

Since this goober turned off all interaction with this: My parents employment was as a small business franchise owner, I.e. no employer provided health insurance. As such, most of my childhood was uninsured, paying out of pocket because post ACA health insurance was exorbitantly expensive.

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA

"can liberalism be saved", answers a Friend of Kissinger

In terms of human rights, I’ve always found it a little bit puzzling, given what you write, and given who your wife is, that you two were so close to Henry Kissinger. Of all the pre-Trump political figures in America, he is the one I think of as in some ways the opposite of liberal, given his behavior toward the rest of the world.
I’ll tell you a story. I wrote a book a few years ago on Star Wars. We invited Dr. Kissinger to my Star Wars book party, and he said, “You wrote a book about Star Wars? Why’d you write a book about Star Wars?” He was puzzled and courteous, but really confused. And then he came to the book party, which was quite generous. He was a busy person.
But, despite his busyness, he came to the book party.
Yeah, and then I gave a talk on Star Wars, and he came up to me afterward and he said, “Oh, I see why you wrote a book on Star Wars. There’s a lot there. It’s, like, about families and it’s about governments and freedom.” The amount of curiosity and generosity that he showed was incomparable. I don’t know anyone who showed that level of curiosity and generosity. And we really got into Star Wars. He just wanted to think about it. I know there are strong views about his career, and I’m hardly an expert on his career.
But your wife is one of the great human-rights experts in the world. I asked you about him being anti-liberal, and your response was that he was very nice to you about your book.
About Star Wars.
It is certainly a touching story. But that’s not totally an answer to the question.
Yeah. Well, I don’t know. What he would think of this book I’d love to know.
But no second thoughts about being friends with him or anything?
I feel generally very grateful for friendship, and he was, when I knew him, a person of immense kindness. Those who think of him as someone who was something horrible or worse, I don’t know what to say about that.

Burrito update: I have found a burrito truck that makes burritos that are 120% of my stomach capacity. Perhaps a bit too much burrito.

Burrito in a paper boat with three cups of salsa. A measuring tape indicates it's 7 inches in length. I think this was a carne asada burrito but it's all the same in foil.
