Had Chilean sea bass with beurre blanc for dinner tonight and frankly ‘90s food is underrated.
Flashbacks to Kinkead’s. Although I guess it would have been potato crusted there.
Realizing I need to do a “‘90s” theme dinner this fall, but I need to get some PVC pipe sections so I can stack the food as vertically as possible.
The PVC pipe thing is an Anthony Bourdain food hack. Kitchen Confidential was written during that era where food either looked like a tower or a Rothko.
I would say someone needs to open a ‘90s themed restaurant but it already exists. It’s called 71 Above and it’s at the top of the US Bank tower in downtown LA. (And it’s good!)

Masks hide expressions and inhibit interaction. They make exercise hard. Enforcing mandates is a burden on govt and business. And mandates embolden busybodies. Mask mandates were a bridge to much more effective vaccines we now have. Don't bring them back. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…
Where people should have to wear masks is not a matter for the "experts." Experts can provide an input -- estimates of how policy affects illness and death. (Alas they've often gotten this wrong.) It's up to us to decide what indefinite rules are worth it. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…
And rules that get imposed now *are* indefinite. We awaited vaccines; now, we have them. So what are mask rules supposed to hold over to? Living in an indefinite posture of COVID restriction is not worth it. So we must vaccinate and get back to normal. businessinsider.com/vaccines-work-…

Why do officials keep doing this sort of thing, when they could simply not issue the rules they clearly don’t believe are necessary?
Anyway, what Muriel Bowser did reflects the facts on the ground: A mask mandate is not warranted by current conditions, because we have the vaccine, and if people want to have a wedding they should proceed as normal with it. Now she should just make that public policy!
The CDC also says to use dental dams for oral sex. I hope everybody has their dental dams!

This is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever read. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
The article says the Fed should *raise* interest rates to encourage business investment (what?) and to address the fact that households are too burdened with debt (what??)
Like, did @nytopinion have anyone with a passing knowledge of monetary policy read this piece? Where is @BCAppelbaum?

This understates the rejection of the left in this primary and undersells the politics of "comfortably insulated" NYers. Garcia and Adams are stylistically very different but were essentially in sync on the issues The Economist cares about here. And Garcia won Park Slope, etc.
While I was for Garcia, and I worry about Adams' commitment to his stated agenda, the best argument for him is that his blue-collar reformer-cop background and his base give him more room to push politically hard ideas than Garcia would have had. businessinsider.com/why-im-optimis…
I'm not sure Garcia will want the job but I hope Adams makes good on what she says were his private comments that he'd like to make her a deputy mayor.

This seems a little thin honestly? politico.com/news/2021/06/3…
Like, the key complaint here seems to be that it’s hard to get access to the Vice President? Why should we assume that’s bad?
For example, this allegation is so vague. Who was thrown under the bus? For what? Did they deserve it? Frankly I’m surprised Politico allowed this as a blind quote, since it doesn’t say anything specific. Just opinions: “abusive,” “not healthy.”

Another sign of “voter suppression” having become a meaningless term like “virtue signaling” and “neoliberal”
It’s “voter suppression” when candidates try to convince people to vote for candidates other than Eric Adams, I guess
Anyway to summarize my thoughts: I find this tactic from the Eric Adams campaign to be gross; I nonetheless find him personally endearing; please vote for Kathryn Garcia because she would be a good mayor and he would not.
