My favorite place to sit in the world. Pamlico River, NC, brackish water, it takes a dirt road to get here. This area depopulated by more than 50% since 1900. Bad for tobacco farmers and crabbers, good for nature. Bluebirds everywhere.
It's like the garden tub in the master bedroom. If you don't have it, the house will never resell. Same with the urgent requirement to avoid voiceover in in doc films.
Outstanding essay. Surprise Joseph Mitchell reference.
I love that book!
My 4th grader: How can somebody so mean become President?
One of the great lines. "The only time I have to think is when I take a shit at the office." Julie Delpy. Before Midnight. In an argument with her husband Ethan Hawke, with whom she shares two daughters while having a full-time job.

Best logo ever for a transport company. Today in Tokyo.

I agree with that. I’m just saying that in my case Talarico is saying something I’ve been waiting to hear for a long time. And it’s fertile pioneer ground for attacking GOP and MAGA. And that’s why GOP is scared of him.
I voted for Talarico because he’s willing to say things I’ve been waiting 40 years for D’s nationwide to say, like “There’s nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism.” That message is a step forward.
Right. It's not cooked. It's mostly vinegar which works on the components over time like it does pickles.
Eastern N.C. barbecue sauce. Will be ready to consume in 2 weeks.
Just got this ARC of Emily LaBarge's upcoming book. Stoked. She's a brilliant thinker and writer.
I don’t know. Her prime influences are Joni Mitchell and Radiohead and Fleet Foxes and Nina Simone.
Madison Cunningham in general but especially her recent album, Ace
In film after film, Frederick Wiseman watched with preternatural patience as systems revealed themselves through the tenacious, irreducible vitality of the people inside them.
I kept returning to his films while reporting my book, hoping to absorb some of that patience.
Such a profound loss.
I nominate Jem Cohen
People are desperate to feel connected, to feel community and meaning. I can see that being manifest in many developments, some heartwarming, some forced, and some of everything.
A pet peeve is going to a museum in the dead of winter, a visit I had been anticipating highly, and then being unpleasantly warm/hot inside, sweating actually. Yesterday my base layer was wet with sweat. Not sure why many museums are so warm in the winter and cold in the summer.
Headed to Vancouver and then Sechelt, B.C. this week. Any and all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
I've watched countless cooking videos on youtube, virtually ever cuisine on the planet, and I've never seen a professional chef measure fresh garlic in spoon measurements. NY Times does, though.
I hate when they say, "one tablespoon of minced garlic." Who actually measures minced garlic like that? Maybe if you buy one of those little jars of garlic already minced.
Anybody else feel like the New York Times cooking section daily recipes are often mediocre? So many of them look great, and then I try them, verbatim, and the results are pretty lame.

You can pick those assholes out in a crowd. It’s always the same kind of guy.
IT IS IN YOUR SELF-INTEREST TO FIND A WAY TO BE VERY TENDER
