"It seems incredible that normal human beings not only tolerate the average American restaurant food, but actually prefer it to eating at home. The only possible explanation for such deliberate mass-poisoning, a kind of suicide of the spirit as well as the body, is that meals in the intimacy of a family dining-room or kitchen are unbearable."
— M. F. K. Fisher: Love in a dish, p. 59
This is the kind of amazing prose by M.F.K. Fisher in the short story Love in a Dish, also the title of the collection. She commands a special mastery of the mid-20th century version of the hot take, and it must have been wonderful to have a conversation with her about anything food-related or simply living life.

For years, I have been thoroughly convinced that the only reason we eat meals together -- and seriously whole religions have sprung up out of that tradition (Last Supper, anyone?) ...
Is so that we can't hear the disgusting sound of our loved ones masticating.
That would make us hate them.
hey remember this video from 4 years ago about what to do if you get arrested?

If you want to watch The Bibi Files, it's already has a torrent.

This investigation of Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines. Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement leads to corruption, and the unwillingness of the Netanyahus to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.
Time for something light.
Watching The Seventh Seal.

Someone asked me how I find obscure games.
It’s simple: I look for games released between 1975-2000 that were never available on a Nintendo home console.
It really is that easy.
I was appalled when Bill Mahar (who I think is a dufus) last night sank deep into the muck by saying that we ought to forgive maga-heads because they can be nice people who help their neighbors clear snow out of driveways.
My view is that we must cast out the maga devil, not accept it, not excuse it, and not embrace it.
It's really hard to be in free software spaces. So many are so libertarian and kinda fashy.

Tove Jansson Found Refuge in Play
Finnish artist Tove Jansson’s childlike worlds are not pure escapism, but rather an expression of a state in which joy and fear are allowed to coexist.
