richard powers is going to come give a talk (he wrote _the overstory_ which I really liked) but you can only buy tix to see it as part of a 5 lecture series with other authors
bundles suck, just let me buy the thing I want and not these other things : (
Hey I read that
It was pretty devastating

it took me a lot of time looking at that to figure out what they are
the first minute was spent puzzling over what I thought surely was the packaging
edit: the nicotine will wash off easily, the uv yellowing will not

you would probably have to smoke constantly with your windows up to get that kind of yellowing but also cigarettes are terrible so let's get rid of them anyway
It's tricky with Malcolm Gladwell, because he puts out content that I enjoy on entertainment value, and the content often DOES challenge my biases and makes me want to research things on my own. But he also doesn't interrogate his own sources with the same level of rigor as I do (or most of [chat], I believe). He is famous enough that he gets to talk with interesting people that I like, too. For subjects where academic rigor usually doesn't matter, like say the history of certain genres of music or funny sports stories, he's great. It's the whole pop science shit that feels rather dangerous. A lot of his writing is just one step away from "Just So" stories.

we have all been provided free bluetooth headsets and people still join conference calls in the middle of the office just wide open on speakerphone
I found a few good ones! They had a salmon in miso sauce dish that unlocked a whole other level of food for me, shiro miso and rice wine vinegar are ingredients I'd never used, never put ginger in things either. They also led me to preparing a lot more veggies and I've carried that through. I have a chicken and sun-dried tomato thing that's in the stadard rotation, and I use the shiro miso sauce in all kinds of things now.
It's important to write the recipes down somewhere because once they fall out of the blue apron rotation they're hard to find again. But they have new shit all the time to experiment with.

One time one of the realtors sold a condo and when they moved the wall paintings you could see the outlines still from the tar.
The yellow walls were not originally yellow.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say

hmm, will you post or sent me the sun-dried tomato chicken thing?

I don't think there's even anything wrong with entertaining just-so stories when they're clearly labeled as such. Entertainment is entertainment, and hey, just-so stories could be true!
The irresponsible thing is giving people a sense that they've achieved greater understanding than they actually have
He is clearly a talented raconteur, though, and there's a place for that

His fame gives him candid access to a lot of entertainers and celebrities that I like, which in turn, gives me access to them through interviews and such. So there's that. I imagine that's some of the appeal of Joe Rogan, as well (and there are probably some parallels there).
EDIT: Oh shit. Malcolm Gladwell is Joe Rogan for ivory tower privileged white liberals.

I think this is kind of a problem! People are really bad at evaluating evidence, and "this could be true" is interpreted as "this is probably true" to an alarming degree for an alarming number of people.
Though "clearly labeled as such" is doing enough obfuscation that we might agree, I don't know. I just don't think that "this story could be true" in the realm of pop science is healthy.
the conclusion to Avengers #88 is in Hulk #140 so now i guess i need to read 139 issues of Hulk before i can find out what happens
that's how they getcha
i have considered just starting at issue #1 of the oldest series and then reading everything in chronological order because i am an absolute fuckin weirdo who is compelled to do things like that

Hey I read that
It was pretty devastating
literally my daughter
too much Halloween-themed Pinkfong and Cocomelon, although the vampire wedding bit was pretty fucking sweet tbh
These started out the same color
Destroy all cigarettes
this is some tricky shit!
have you found some good recipes this way? if y, what are they?
That looks more like UV yellowing though.
Maybe some nicotine staining, but I'd guess the whiter one was parked in a garage / shade or had tinted windows.
the first minute was spent puzzling over what I thought surely was the packaging
edit: the nicotine will wash off easily, the uv yellowing will not

For the youngsters in chat: food was TRASH in the 80s

It wasn't all trash. American Coca-Colas had real sugar in them in the 80s.
