Filmmaking is pretty horrid. Can we fly in that C-stand and get some C47s to attach the globe? Make sure it’s plugged into the Jenny.

From what I understand, black tattoo ink traditionally uses animal bone char. There are vegan tattoo artists that source their black elsewhere.

Also, the Chinese food is pretty damn great, especially up north. Asia Cafe, A+A Szechuan, Din Ho, and Ho Ho. All excellent.

Hot barbecue tip: Everyone talks about Franklin, and indeed it is the best. But you have to wait in line for hours and spend half your day on it, getting up ridiculously early, etc.

The thing about barbecue is that it’s a game of little margins - while Franklin is world class, you can get 90% of the quality of…

Mine neither.

It’s not bad either, the vegetarian fish sauce. We use it and it’s fine. Feel free to sub that in and have a blast.

Also worth wondering whether the parents allow more from Morgan because otherwise they lose access to their grandkids. I have a relative with kids we all adore and there is definitely a thing where people treat her with kid gloves because she has the only grandkids in the family and she’s not afraid to restrict access…

Ah yes, the old Rice Krispie support trick, also known as “cheating.”

Look, as much as one can loathe Tucker Max (and I do), I’m not sure what the problem is here. I work in social justice, and if there is one thing I’ve learned as a white dude in social justice work, is that it is important for white men like me to use our privilege to make space for and amplify marginalized voices.

The Impossible Burger is legit amazing. It’s easily the closest thing on the market to actual beef. It’s very expensive though and every single time I’ve had it it has been woefully underseasoned, so add a good dose of salt to the patty before you dig in.

The Beyond Burger you can buy in high end grocery stores like…

Oh I agree. But I was responding to the commenter who specifically said “Just do this the authentic way.” You may prefer a different recipe, but you can’t call this one inauthentic.

Tofurkey is so goddamn good and it gets SUCH a bad rap because of the name. The company is full of really nice people and they are constantly innovating and trying new products out to provide more options to vegans. It’s a good company to support.

The recipe is from Marcella Hazan, Italian, and one of the foremost authorities on classic Italian cooking who ever lived. The only thing she does is authentic.

I work in an education nonprofit (after school programs) and we get CPR training and we are told that if it’s a school age kid, go ahead and break a rib. CPR is administered to keep the heart moving in advance of the paramedics arriving. If you don’t give CPR, the chances of them dying is much higher. So logically a…

I dunno, TNG had some horrific episodes (as did TOS, even DS9). This is definitely a mid-level TOS or TNG episode. It’s not “The Measure of a Man,” but it’s also not “Justice.” It’s “The Survivors” or “Miri” or something like that.

I think we are very much looking back at Trek with rose colored glasses. And I say this…

I don’t think it’s unethical and the story is great, but it makes me sad that she’s been revealed. I wish she had stayed a mysterious legend forever.

I’m not sure I’d put him on the same level as Tressel, who knowingly and willingly lied to the NCAA. Granted it was about some lame autograph stuff, but Tressel just signed off on it, knowing what he knew, and actively covered it up. Stoops never did anything like that.

Fincher’s Alien3 director’s cut is not at all bad, and to me somewhat worthy. I even like it more than Aliens (fight me)

All this and more in the latest issue...

Happened to me too. Oh well...
