What part of you relates to me?

spatch was not working this evening and I finally had some energy left, we cooked together for the first time in weeks. We had a pair of pork chops which we seasoned with pico fruta, briefly pan-seared, and then slathered in a dark, sweet, especially high-Scoville variation on helljam to finish cooking in a tightly foil-wrapped baking dish along with some experimental pulled chicken: 10/10, would prepare all meats in similar juicy, heat-rich but not obliterated fashion. We made cheese grits to accompany. We may be approaching the event horizon where I learn how to cook collard greens. Please enjoy some links.
1. In praise of a restaurant I want to revisit: "I spent the night at South Street Diner, Boston's only 24/7 sit-down spot."
2. On damage and different kinds of anger: Martha C. Nussbaum, "The Weakness of the Furies."
3. Speaking of the uses of transition anger: "The Radicalism of Warren's Unapologetic Aggression." I am fascinated by this sentence: "Here was an assassin, bathed in the blood of her enemies, turning steady eyes to the TV camera and offering her talents to the public: For the small price of a primary vote, this assassin will work for you." I think it's the characterization of assassin when the pledge and I'll fight for your family would have made me think straight-up of mercenary knights, but maybe to most people it's the same thing.
4. It is entirely reasonable that a year of beautiful men should include Roddy McDowall. I still think that white-and-gold safari-jacket ensemble he's wearing there in his first appearance as Jonathan Willoway suits him much less well than the eventual black leather jacket of his regular costume. It's a really good jacket.

Re: TNR and Elizabeth Warren
I didn't know that. That suggests the word choice is a callback, and as such a reclamation as well as an endorsement. Thanks for providing the missing information.
It would be imperfect, as always is the case in international politics, but we could do useful work together.
I would very much like Warren as President, and I am frustrated by the media narrative of "unelectability" which seems far more setup for self-fulfilling prophecy than any real read on the situation.
