Don’t feel bad, everyone. English pronunciation IS difficult, though through tough thorough thought, you can do it!

Worst*

Aren’t rent and utilities already subscriptions, pretty much?

Cinncinati, got it!

Better yet, help Elián González make it to Florida with his mom. That saga made Democrats lose a lot of votes in Florida in that election.

When the content and delivery is good, what’s not to like?

The WHO hasn’t been RFK’ed, has it? I can’t keep the different organizations straight anymore. But also it’s not recommending beef tallow so I guess that’s a good sign.

Immediate edit from TFA:

the U.N. agency

Why do you think the criminals in the White House are doing it?

Monk. Most episodes follow the same formula, but it’s always a lot of fun and when they do deviate a bit, it’s so good!

Literally the first two paragraphs (hell, the first two sentences) of the article

Almost every month, Mr Cihan Citak gets into his car, passport in hand, and sets off from Istanbul to Alexandroupolis, a Greek seaside city 40km from the Turkish border.

After a roughly four-hour drive, he walks the crowded aisles of the local supermarket, filling his cart with wine, cheese and other groceries that cost a fraction of what they do back home.

He’s not starting from the border, he’s starting from Istanbul, which is not anywhere near the border.

40km from the border. 4 hours total each way

I knew he’d try to move those goalposts when he said that as far as he’s concerned, the Hatians in Springfield were illegal (not that it needs to be said, but they weren’t).

Unfortunately eggs got expensive and people thought he’d fix that too.

Next time add cheese tortellini 😋

To get the sweet yet acidic flavor, I would try a small drizzle of something like red wine vinegar. It wouldn’t add much body to the sandwich, but it can really give a great flavor.

If you want more than meat and bread and don’t want tomato… Cucumber would add some body with a weak neutral flavor.

I enjoy the food and the recipes have a pretty good variety. They tout the fact that you can keep the recipes and make them again with ingredients you get the old fashioned way, but there’s always that one obscure ingredient (of which you only need a little) that makes it tricky. They expect you’ll have some ingredients on hand, like butter (lots of butter, actually…)

And of course, with the preparation of dividing things out, extra packaging, shipping, etc… It does get expensive. That’s a large part of what held me back from getting it routinely. I also remember some pricing/customer service shenanigans that were annoying but can’t remember what.

But when my daughter was in NICU long-term (doing well now!) a friend abroad got us a gift card or whatever to help us with meals. It was pretty nice for that unique time.

Oh, please. People who have never left their home in their entire life probably wouldn’t. Why would someone who stopped leaving their house lose their favorite? I haven’t lived in my hometown in 20 years, but I still have a favorite park from there. My vegan friend once said she misses lobster. Someone who lost their hearing could still have a favorite song.

Just because life circumstances change, doesn’t mean they have no memory of how things used to be.

Do me a favor: go to what was once (or still is) your favorite park and take a cool photo. Using your phone is fine, but I want you to take a few minutes to find a cool subject/perspective/composition combination. Maybe consider coming back if the sun isn’t at the best angle when you go there the first time.

Show me what you come up with!

our government-funded […] public broadcasting services

Not anymore, it isn’t

And in two days, it will all be forgotten.

I mean, yeah unfortunately it probably will, but not because of the above

Don’t forget about the vice versa!

Brian… Johnson? 🤔
