“Adding to those judgements, the August 2018 lawsuit that The Athletic uncovered, filed in New York Supreme Court, is asking for $6.6 million, including interest and legal fees.”

Cool, thanks!

I didn’t?

After getting pretty good at making jambalaya as a grownup I revisited an episode where he made it. As a friend I was watching with aptly put it, “I’ve heard it said that a New Orleans roux should be browned until the color of old pennies, but his looks like black tar heroin!”

PBS has such a killer lineup of cooks when I was growing up - Yan, the Frugal Gourmet, Paul Prudhome, Justin Wilson... Thank you for these! I have almost finished the Heston Blumenthal Perfection videos y’all posted in a Last Call a while ago and needed something else for my commute watching. 

Thank you for this. I looked once to try and find a recipe, but when I googled “bread schmaltz” all I got was this:

Wow, my guess was off by several orders of maginitude!

And, if I find a pig’s anus in my salad, is it a hot dog, and by the transitive property therefore a sandwich?

I think we’re all empowered now to post this article on any YouTube of someone licking ice cream in the store with a note, “Just FYI, there is non-zero chance someone is decomposing behind the freezer where you’re licking ice cream.”

Really burnishes his record of 2-time MVP, 8-time First Team defense, 7-time Second-Team defense, 3-time college Defensive Player of the year, to find out he accomplished all of that while actually coaching his opponents on how to play better against him. Damn.

I’m reading John Douglas’ book Mindhunter right now. The chapter I’m on he’s talking about a case where a woman claimed her kid had been kidnapped while she was in a gas station restroom for 45 minutes and then was mailed one of his mittens with no corresponding threat or demands. This story has as many red flags.   

You can keep your Capistrano swallows. This is my favorite season-harbinger. I woke up this morning like a kid on Christmas. 

It was a particularly odd feeling being excited that we’ve reached WYTS season, and then realizing it will be [checks notes (that can’t be right!), double-checks notes - Holy shit!] three weeks before the Browns article.

It’s strangely way easier on my phone.

“Instead, he said, BMW must have platforms that can go either way.”

Clearly y’all need to hire one more person to break the deadlock. But I can’t in good conscience tell you how I will vote until after I am hired.
