Some artichoke hearts in lemon water because we’re making Patricia Wells’s peasant version of Guy Savoy’s artichoke soup
Sautée two shallots in olive oil with a pinch of salt
Add a little more olive oil and the artichoke hearts
Pour in a cup of white wine and turn the heat up. Reduce fir 7 minutes or so
Add 3 cups chicken stock (@hels’s double stock works especially well here), reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes
Purée with an immersion blender (or your device of choice.) it will be excellent served as is, even better if you whisk in a little butter and lemon juice
Ladel and serve with a few thin slices of hard Italian cheese and chives. 😋
You don’t have to serve it with ham and cornichons on a baguette but I recommend it

A certain Brazilian SubStack blogger who REALLY wants Ron DeSantis to be the next president of the United States has some hilariously stupid defenses of libertarian responses to COVID-19 in our comments
The my favorite is that because it has a Democratic governor he uses Michigan as a gotcha, while obviously not realizing that Michigan currently has...the same laissez-faire policies he favors, with absolutely disastrous results.
Needless to say, if you compare DeSantis and Abbott to COMPETENT Democratic governors like Brown and Inslee, the results are much worse with death rates more than twice as high, because the libertarian response is in fact bad covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…

Brett Kavanaugh writes opinion holding that crimes committed by teenagers should allow them to be confined for life irrespective of their ability to be rehabilitated lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/04/brett-…
Do I think Roberts assigning this opinion to Kavanaugh of all people was intentional trolling? The answer is "yes" lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2019/05/the-we…
One small cheer for Clarence Thomas, who like the other Republican nominees is cruelly wrong on the merits but at least not willing to go along with the bullshit-minimalism of pretending to apply precedents you are obviously overruling

As the Super League dies a quick death, let us take a moment to note that "durrrr, MLB and the NHL should do relegation and promotion, durrrr" is as dumb and ignorant as any take defending the Super League
Yes, let's just put a few of these teams in the NHL every year, I can see absolutely no logistical issues with material impact on league revenues
MLB's annual revenues are nearly double the Premier League's, despite Rob Manfred's best efforts I'm confident the business model will survive without concern trolling from people who don't know anything about the sport sportscasting.com/america-only-h…

Florida being BY FAR the most popular state among Republicans -- beating runner-up Alaska by more than 10 points -- explains a lot seattletimes.com/seattle-news/d…
Only 5 states are underwater with people of both parties, and I think I would have guessed at least 3 on the first go-round
Whoops, that's 6, DC not included.

Dear Bari: I never thought this would happen to me, but if Jesse Helms had been president we never would have had any of these problems lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/04/dear-b…
If not for Bari's finance bro, where else would we be able to read about Martin Luther King, the uncontroversial figure whose entire career consisted of one speech that contained one sentence, except for every conservative publication that has ever existed? Image
It's the Chris Rock "you're not racist if you didn't literally shoot Medgar Evers" routine, but unironically: Image

Ah yes, the antebellum and Jim Crow South, legendary for their commitment to majoritarian democracy
Say this for Bill Buckley: unlike his National Review successors who have carried on his magazine's support for vote suppression, he at least understood how Jim Crow worked
Also, while of course nobody (including Chait) thinks that democracy means "pure majoritarianism," I would love to hear one of these NRO guys explain specifically how disenfranchising minorities will result in increased protections for their tights
