I bet it slaps; Chanterelles have the right profile for it. The Brew Files guys* have documented a *very* mushroom-heavy recipe that would be unreasonably expensive to produce at any scale (one got gifted somebody’s acreage’s haul or something) but they liked it *I think it was them, at least

I don’t really think the lather bsky has developed is particularly healthy in terms of specifics viz the media’s *motivations* etc. but also people somehow talking themselves into increasingly high-pitched Edith Wilson conspiracy theories really underscores the midwittery of the educated classes

Important to realize as we try to retain civility on Bluesky that all the stuff we say to each other will have literally zero impact on whether Biden bows out or not, we’re just hanging around yapping about politics like a bunch of old Greek guys at a sidewalk cafe, no need to take it personally

The Des Moines Register, the mediocrest Gannett rag on Earth, has inexplicably managed to “Biden Old” better than its staff’s pedigreed betters on the Beltway (“Biden & Trump are both old as hell, here’s a funny but also kinda horrifying list of stuff they’re older than; what do we make of this?”)

One of the most talented pop hook writers in human history but also incredibly prolific in a way that… uh, compromises the overall grade. That he was a giant dick for at least twenty years may or may not enter your consideration as well but this is table stakes for famous musicians of the 70s/80s.

Everyone needs a good and sober argument free of the delusion that anything done right now will automatically make you feel Safe. This is not on offer. What might be on offer is some marginal changes to probabilities where margins could possibly be quite critical & you owe yourselves that clarity.

A thing that I think is very important while attempting to wrap your head around The Question is that you need to kill the part of yourself that believes this because it is, in fact, pretty evidently untrue, a fact that is unchanged by how distressing counteridealistic you might find it

from a sociological perspective it's sort of fascinating to see The Discourse take on a Forever Primary dimension except that there's not really a consistent line so much as sort of a free for all of "Progs vs Panicking Libs" and "Finally a Pretext Progs vs Angry Libs" depending on the brainworms
