I spent about an hour today scaling and gutting sardines until in the end I had a whole row of them lined up ready to grill. Having put so much work in already I decided it'd be a waste not to do the extra and ended up sprinkling with sea salt, olive oil, crushed pepper and then baked ciabatta bread.

It's a small sign that the more in touch you are with the blood and guts of food preparation the more of a ritual it becomes, the more ''special'' you want the end result to be.

Settler's Lament is becoming the master of the "response video" format. It's really a shame he didn't come to prominence in the time when this type of video was king of YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzU7zJwTwtw

Yes, but then so is the Iliad.

The college professor who taught my generation that they could say just say "consequentialism" and "Tu Quoque” as a get-out-of-jail-free card for any moral hypocrisy should be tracked down and punished.

The final victory of Technocracy over Tradition.

Oh I get it, it's leftist STREAMERS who are the REAL victims of cancel culture.

There seems to be an unwritten rule that if you are an attractive Asian female blogger (in any percentage), at least 10 percent of your videos have to be you eating exotic food that looks disgusting. https://youtu.be/IxGovT8s9dc

This tweet is a masterpiece of Chutzpah https://twitter.com/tedlieu/status/1382539028801605632?s=20

Vaush's position on the left is so tenuous he must wake up each day and wonder who's out cancel him and if today will be the today the final blow lands.
If it isn't the trannies and gays taking pot-shots because he's straight, then he's also got the BLM types to deal with because he's a white male with privilege.
And now the actual Marxists are turning on him because he's a well off grifter offering nothing but entertainment.

He's like a chubby lefty soy version of Henry Fonda in Once Upon A Time In The West

The lotus eaters working over-time to develop an argument about why “Incest is bad”...

I have been watching bread tube videos for two years now and this one video continues to haunt me.

No matter how much I give the creator the benefit of the doubt, no matter how much I force myself to assume he is understating his subjects defects, there is no way I can watch this and not perceive it as something deeply wrong, something deeply perverse. Pray for these people, all of them.

Ok, this week I need to finish this job, say yes to a new job, get ready to move. I don't know how I am going to fit in finishing the video I started or doing the online reorganization. I originally blocked out May for this, I am going to do my best.

Guilty on all 3 counts

The trial was honest on one count. It accurately showed where we stand.

I would advise against doom scrolling on Twitter, you know what you'll see, there's nothing you can do about it so just don't bother.

I am working on a DistAns as a reply to a Millennial Woes AMA. Working title “why we can’t have nice things... yet”.

This is the summer I am losing my PhD weight. Perhaps I should track my progress online to keep myself motivated. Starting weight “T minus ...” whatever I have managed at that point.

my wife and I have some downtime tonight, so why not waste it streaming a video game! https://youtu.be/T1-a9IJ87zE
