With frost threatening our li'l basil forest, today is pesto prep and freezing day. This year's crop includes Oregon filberts rather than pine nuts.

I started the 2026 Coffeeneuring adventure with a 67km ride that featured a stop for iced coffee at the deCordova sculpture park / museum. #Coffeeneur

I was 4 years old, in the back of my family's Ford Country Squire wagon with the wood tone paneling, at the drive-in. The poison apple in Snow White was too scary for me.

I wrote about the most recent HHS study, and I wanted to draw attention to something I did a little differently than some of the other people writing about these things: I tried to lay out as clearly as possible how the study was done and what it claimed to be trying to accomplish.

Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org

Late last week, the HHS released a report claiming to show a link between "transgender ideology" and political violence. Among other bizarre features of this unpublished, non-peer reviewed paper it included a grand total of 13 transgender people. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I always see this "Move Free" supplement while shopping at Costco, and I'm transported back to my mom's kitchen in 1970 before my uncle in the Air Force brought us a real rice cooker from Okinawa.

We have been joking around my family for years that "Vegas Golden Knights" sounds like a brand of condoms. I can't figure out whether the joke needs to change now that they have been decisively shut out by Bussi.

I quickly recognized that this kid was one of the smart ones. Here's Mr Jennings's kind, gentle, and concise takedown of Doomerism.

This kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?

techdirt.comEU’s Top Court Just Made It Literally Impossible To Run A User-Generated Content Platform LegallyThe Court of Justice of the EU—likely without realizing it—just completely shit the bed and made it effectively impossible to run any website in the entirety of the EU that hosts user-generated content. Obviously, for decades now, we’ve been talking about issues related to intermediary liability, and what standards are appropriate there. I am an unabashed supporter of the US’s approach with Section 230, as it was initially interpreted, which said that any liability should land on the party who contributed the actual violative behavior—in nearly all cases…

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

Congrats to the class of '77. I was a hopeless Red Sox fan starting with their playoff run in '75, and remember the Blue Jays and Mariners showing up in the league together. Now "the new kids" will battle for a spot in the World Series.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Amazing coverage of multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud and abuse, directly connected to multi-million dollar donation's to Trump's SuperPAC.

I was with my family, enjoying a burger and a Heady Topper at a farm-to-table pub in Burlington Vermont. We were sitting at a window table watching the streetscape when Bernie Sanders walked by, practically within arms reach, chatting with another gentleman (possibly his son.)
