“Sandwich guy case” “Harvard clawed frog embryo smuggling case” “Olympic canoeist reflecting pool vandalism case” “James Comey seashells Instagram post case” New rule: If the case sounds like a Mad Libs story, it’s probably about to implode.

Yellow onions carmelizing in a cast iron skillet over low heat. Only 20 minutes in - still have not achieved Maillard reaction, and are barely brown on edges.

When a co-worker was in her 9th month late last year, we held a baby shower, and took bets on a calendar for delivery day and baby weight. I feel like there should be a similar, but reverse, calendar for Mitch. Day declared dead, and reason. My money is on 8/5 and "an unexpected cardiac event."

@nonprofitaf.bsky.social - this Carnegie thread feels like is history repeating itself with today's robber barron "philanthropists." Especially when they criticize their ex-wives (and others' ex-wives) for giving unrestricted funds to npo and multi-year operational funding.
