    Has Starbucks used this “cozy” brand messaging previous winters? Am I just noticing it because I’m personally overindexed on “domestic cozy” right now or is it actually a new thing?

    Have you had a Japanese rolled omelet? Bought a cheap pan recently and tried it. Will try with Just Egg next. Interesting technique. You make it by rolling one thin layer, then adding more batter and filling another layer around the roll and so on 3-4 times. With stuff in between

    Classic high modernist plaza in DTLA. Clean, Apollonian pleasantness, no homeless, but not a soul even attempting to “enjoy” it or have “fun”.

    Given how many things have to go right for a “normal” life to work, it’s astounding the homeless/faceless/uninsured-stricken population is so low (~0.2%, 17/10,000)

    I need a Cunning Plan First year in like a decade that I’ve felt like I needed one. The blithe spirit approach looks unworkable for Reasons.

    Find Ukraine... hmm pretty easy, but I bet I’d get almost all the rest of Eastern Europe wrong. Except Poland maybe is easy too.
