What a closing paragraph
Abdul El-Sayed fears that high-profile attacks have compromised his safety—but he also argues that they’ve given him “one of the biggest and best platforms.” newyorker.com/news/the-polit…
I’m being completely serious in saying this: this seems like a complete nonissue. He’s got Obama. Hard to imagine Dems not falling in likes with the face of the party for the last two decades
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: HUGE problem looming for Abdul El-Sayed ... Rep. Haley Stevens is ready to pull her support for the Michigan senatorial candidate and no-show an important campaign rally if he doesn't disavow a couple of controversial political ads ... and the warning is coming straight from Haley's fiancé.
Holy shit the economy is actually about to crumble and $SBUX is first!
Legitimately beautiful
For fifty eight years, my boss in Tokyo believed that beef should be sliced as thin as paper.
In Japan, we cook thin meat for four seconds in boiling broth. That is our way.
Then last month, the YouTube algorithm showed Director Sato a video of a man in Texas smoking a brisket.
It changed his life.
On Monday morning, he called me to his desk. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Have you seen this?" he whispered, turning his monitor toward me. "The American pitmaster does not sleep for sixteen hours. He sits by the fire in the dark. He guards the meat like a castle."
I said, "Sir, it is just a barbecue."
He slammed his hand on the desk.
"This is not cooking," he said. "This is a vigil."
Last Saturday was our annual company picnic by the river in Kanagawa. Normally, we grill thin meat and yakisoba for two hours and go home at 2:00 PM.
I arrived at 9:30 AM to help set up.
Director Sato was already there.
I want to be accurate here: he had been sitting in a folding chair since 10:00 PM on Friday night. He was wearing a towel around his head and staring at a massive black barrel smoker he had imported from Oklahoma.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS ABANDONED CORPORATE LIFE FOR THE SMOKE.
When we tried to help him, he held up a pair of metal tongs and clicked them twice.
"Step back," he said calmly. "The stall has begun. Nobody opens the lid."
Twelve Japanese accountants stood in complete silence around a barrel for four more hours. Nobody dared to eat a single noodle until he gave the signal.
At 1:45 PM, he sliced the meat. It fell apart on the cutting board.
My boss looked at the pink smoke ring, nodded once, and wiped a single tear from his cheek.
He has already submitted an official budget request for a trailer smoker for next fiscal year.

The US Senate has zero control over property taxes in Texas. Paxton served in the TX House and Senate and authored zero bills to eliminate property taxes. Why is that?

Have you noticed it gets cold in winter when people start putting warm clothes on?
Have you noticed that flu season starts after the vaccines are given out?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Flu shots are given before flu season on purpose. The CDC advises getting vaccinated in September or October, ideally by the end of October, because it takes about two weeks after vaccination for protective antibodies to develop. cdc.gov/flu/vaccines/v…
It’s unfortunate that the religious right can only see things through a context of the Judeo-Christian God. Things can be morally, ethically, emotionally “bad” without needing to frame them within that context but they’ll act like this is a trump card

Fastest bookmark of my life
Indian cricket bowler Deepak Chahar hit a baseball 175 meter heights like he eats 100 - 500 baseballs for breakfast every day
Baseball looks so easy yet Americans have hyped up this useless game for no reason
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The clip is from MLBx Mumbai (Oct 24), a 3-on-3 exhibition held on a small field inside a football arena. No report records a 175 m hit. That would beat the longest home run ever tracked in MLB: 505 ft (154 m), by Nomar Mazara in 2019.

DO. NOT. FALL. FOR. IT. HES SCARED OF LOSING AND IS TRYING TO BRING VOTERS BACK TO HIM. HE IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE. VOTE FOR TALARICO
Being politically aligned with Arthur Blank may radicalize me
NFL owners spent about $18 million on the midterms, with the huge majority of that going to Republicans. And then you have Arthur Blank, who donated to AOC frontofficesports.com/articl…
