I've never been to The cheesecake. Factory. Is now the moment to go? Will the Old Spaghetti Factory forgive me for visiting another factory?

SECRETARY BUTZ SAYS THE PRICE OF STEAK IS JUST RIGHT

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."

It's nice to get mail. I am charmed by the designs of the hand cancellations on these two postcards received. The one from Japan took 12 days, the one from Boston took 19 days (a week longer!) to get to me on the West Coast. Send a note to a friend! Even if it takes 3 weeks, it will be loved.

This isn't who I wanted revitalizing the downtown office market. We can put pressure on building owners especially if there are any institutional partners like pension funds or local owners who want to stay in good community standing. The local business papers should be covering this.

NEW: ICE is leasing offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

Where's our holiday train, @trimet.org?

🎄🎅🏻 DEFINITIVE RATINGS OF U.S. HOLIDAY TRAINS 🎅🏻 🎄👇 1️⃣ MBTA: The newcomer - I believe this is the first year the T has done a holiday train. Definitely a strong effort but very busy & a bit overboard on using vinyl decals. But bonus for the Phil Eng Santa on the orange line. Grade: B+

It's gonna fuck him up if he finds out we have a store called Mr. Plywood.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I'm glad I met the people who taught me how to make Ethiopian food (because it is that good!), but I am not happy they had to deal with famine and war. Do these ding dongs not understand that people came to the US because they were suffering at home?

Quick question: Are people insane?

Fun fact, the latest remodel of the Portland Building made it better than the original. (And also revealed the style is just "brutalism in a dress" another style these ding dongs hate without reason.) chatterbox.typepad.com/portlandarch...

Postmodern architecture was actually a very brief movement that emerged in the 1960s as a counter-reaction to modernism's austerity and uniformity. Examples of postmodernism include Michael Graves's Portland Building and Guild House. Also Phillip Johnson's PPG Place.

Update I failed to make hummus and eventually just threw out my $0.31 worth of chickpeas!

I had to see how long to cook chickpeas (that I'd sprouted) so I pulled out this turn of the millennium pamphlet from the defunct Wild Oats supermarket to look up the cook time. Gonna turn 31¢ worth of chickpeas into hummus! #garbanzo

We learned about the stock market in middle school. Even then I thought, how is this relevant to my life? I "bought" EF Hutton stock in our excersie. I thought stock traders would make money like Levi Strauss in the Gold Rush. I was wrong, they were kiting checks and their stock went down!

This is a remarkably clear statement of the political logic of baby bonds. www.ft.com/content/f460...

Sitting at the kitchen table filling out our ballots. Sometimes the vote is on issues, sometimes, it's vibes when there is more than one good choice. I didn't vote for anyone who has a job related to AI or a church or anyone who didn't bother to get a statement in the voters pamphlet!

There are FIVE pages of a special advertising section of this People Magazine devoted to catalogs. Anyone have any old Chadwick's of Boston or Mellow Mail catalogs laying around?

Picked up a bunch of old magazines for free at an estate sale including this one with RFK Jr. and Vanessa Williams on the cover (pre-losing her crown!) Wild that this cover story was just a month after he was arrested and sent to rehab.
