Spring cleaning and I came across this Italian classic written by a relative of mine that I bought in a Walmart type store in Italy. I love this illustration of him

BUY IT

Today, my fellow founding worker-owners and I are launching a subscription drive to @feedravenous.bsky.social. We are a group of experienced and award-winning food journalists here to publish thoughtful writing and incisive reporting from around the food world. www.weareravenous.com

No Italian-Americans were involved in the production of this book and I cannot stop laughing

What’s happening on those floors between earth and space

A really cute feature until you get to: “Now I read, and I think about what I read. I’m reading Ted Kaczynski’s book because I saw it was trending online, and instead of getting someone else’s interpretation, I get to see what it’s about for myself.”

On the eve of Passover. Someone call Moses

if i had legs i’d kick you (2025)

DID U KNOW: Pre-requesting my book from your local public library counts as a sale? They'll likely put in a pre-order, and boom — I get $$ and you get a free read, come November!!!!

Weather Twitter really did not live to make it on here, huh? Because is there not a hurricane rn? Anybody else experiencing this?

The last time I watched the Oscars was to see a movie win best picture. That movie was Brokeback Mountain. After a few of these awards tonight, I am starting to think my watching is a curse to rightful winners

This morning I came across three separate posts with tips for how to cook an egg in a stainless steel pan without disaster. I have been doing this for years by doing absolutely nothing special because I had no idea it should not work. So my cooking tip is: be oblivious

Candace is receiving treatment for breast cancer while living in public housing. Her friends are raising funds to get her into better house while she heals physically and spiritually. Donate if you can! Yes, $5 helps. gofund.me/761be5519

I had an entire story written up and was waiting on interviews to pitch it somewhere else and now I cannot even use it because it will look like I ripped them off

Places really will straight up steal your work from edit tests and interviews and then soak up the praise

Did you ever have a huge publication completely steal a story you talked about to them in detail on a final interview you had with them after they did not hire you?

Accusing Jamelle Bouie of "exaggerated nastiness" and "hateful, uncharitable commentary" is absolutely insane.

This is not a joke: I need someone to check for a lost stuffed animal on campus at UT-Knoxville outside Thompson-Boling. DM me for details.

We're prob not gonna hit our goal before we end the GoFundMe later today... but we are close to hitting $10K! If you could help us get the rest of the $450 or so toward that amount, it'd be rad.

Yesterday I wrote about what AI is (math) and isn’t (people) and someone in the comment said it’s the best thing anyone ever wrote about AI. I’m just gonna take that at face value and so should you. www.todayintabs.com/p/a-i-isn-t-...

from the family of Virginia Giuffre: “At last. Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.... He was never a prince. For survivors everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

I don’t remember how many years ago I wrote about this because my piece has been removed from the internet, but Ring was and continues to be an open door to this sort of thing

I choose to believe that she released this and immediately disappeared from public life, never to be heard from again.

What are your thoughts on factory farming, Amanda?

If I have to doomscroll on this, I am going to Pipilotti Rist it up on the outside

@theferocity.bsky.social Saeed, you have tipped us off to so many good shows, so I’m returning the favor. If you haven’t seen Ponies yet, I think you would love it youtu.be/-DlukUWtoCU

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

My Pillow walked so the ShamWow could run

There is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists www.404media.co/the-washingt...

Mass layoffs in a broken industry just further degrade the market. Mass layoffs in a broken industry also highlight that the only reason everyone laid off has any sort of life raft is because they were unionized

My niece and I laughed so hard through it. Put it on because you need the joy of “Pigs in Wigs”

Nitasha is as good as reporters get:

Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

Jewish half: did not want to be killed by their neighbors Southern Italian half: did not want to starve

I have never stopped wearing wired headphones and I have warned people about Elon Musk from the beginning. Some things just take common sense

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Long shot, I know, but I have someone looking for firewood in Winston Salem, NC area. We can get a quick pick up for her, if you have a lead.

“Paul Cohen is, as far as he knows, the only Jew in Greenland.” Write me a novel that starts like this story

Hundreds of millions of earbuds, headphones and speakers need a security update (yes, you need to update your earbuds) to prevent a wireless hacking technique that can hijack audio, eavesdrop via mics, and in some cases remotely track the accessory’s location. www.wired.com/story/google...

How skilled is this job

Men created AI-generated images of this woman and used them to create an OnlyFans account so they can make money off abusing her. They can do this to any of us, and no one’s doing enough to stop them. I feel like I’m screaming into the void.
