On empathy, and the incomprehensibility thereof, regarding MAGA
Rebecca Solnit is a wonderful source of thoughtful commentary in these dark times. I found her latest piece particularly insightful, on the topic of MAGA being simply unable to comprehend empathy, unable to give a shit about anything beyond themselves and their own narrow self-interests.
Running in the sleet
I’m pretty proud of myself for running for nearly an hour today in the 20 degree weather, though my pace was nearly a minute slower than normal.
I made some cow!
This was last night’s dinner during the “thundersleet” outside: short ribs, green beans, red wine mushrooms, and financiers with raspberries and caramel sauce.
