"Some people say, 'I just use [AI] to brainstorm ideas.' If you don’t know what to paint or compose or write, you’re in the wrong job. Art is the business of making up stuff — go make up some stuff."

Marian Burros, a renowned food writer, passed away at 92 and left a legacy of cookbooks, food safety advocacy and access to political figures.
Her home office was filled with her life's work, including photos with first ladies and a donkey collection.
"Photographs have a way of collapsing time, and the ones taken inside the 1980s punk scene do exactly that, pulling you into smoky venues, street corners, and basement shows where a subculture was busy defining itself in real time."

April 1, 2026 April Fools Spring has come and Easter is around the corner. The cold weather is over, days are getting warmer. April is here, you fools! You cannot trust anyone. Just like any other day, when all is said and done. It was easier back then. Lies didn't have short legs. People believed that a bunny could lay choc eggs. Spaghetti grew on trees. Dogs could drive a car. A rare and shy Lirpa Loof was spotted from afar. But now with wars led by a baby who needs a nap, no prank can compete with this unbelievable crap. ©Tania Carina Pires
Wishing everyone a happy month of April and a happy April Fools' Day (for those who celebrate it 🙄)

Seems like every year when the Tennessean does a piece on Passover-friendly dining options in Nashville, for some reason they pick primarily vegetarian places and then note, well this probably won't work for Passover because it's mostly beans and grains.

Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it’s no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn’t need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn’t want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days
[1950]

This is a fantastic article about the long and uneven road that lifelong writers often travel. These paragraphs in particular resonated with me. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/s...
This is making me want to do another re-watch. So many little details that emphasize why all the pieces matter. Currently watching Show Me a Hero (for the first time)

Harold and Maude is a movie that speaks specifically to its time, but which I mean any time between 1971 and forever. Rest In Peace, Bud Cort.

"Home said Davis’s description of limestone’s properties and the challenge of tunneling through rock of varying hardness was divorced from reality. Boring’s public assertions about how tunneling machines work in conditions like Nashville’s are 'definitely not true,' he said." ah details
