Share Treason.  That is what Donald Trump committed in attempting to overturn our nation’s 2020 election. As a lawyer, I understand the legal definition of “Treason” is set forth in United States Constitution, Article III, Section 3. There, it plainly states: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”  (Treason is also codified at 18 U.

Love may not be a competition, but displays of affection certainly can be. There is no display that’s more significant than the wedding ring. It’s a present and a promise rolled into one. Unlike a fancy car or a house, which both most likely cost more, the wedding ring (hopefully) means more. Often, that means it will cost more too. For many people, it isn’t enough to get something nice. You’ve got to get something huge and filled with lots of diamonds.

Eric Carmen, lead vocalist/songwriter for power pop legends Raspberries and a successful solo artist, passed away in early March. After reading longtime indie pop rocker and current YouTube host Adam Marsland’s personal and heartfelt memories of his musical hero on Facebook, I asked if I could share a version of it here. I think it says a lot about the influences that shape artists, and the lifelong relationships we have with the music that most inspires us.

What am I doing what am I doing what am I doing.  The sound of dial tone pierces through the speakerphone. I touch my face, fingers sprawled across my forehead. Doctors say I shouldn’t be touching my face. Every goddamn person on social media tells me what I should and shouldn’t be doing.  The phone connects and a woman at Chuck E. Cheese in La Mesa picks up. She sounds young.

I stumbled on the phrase: Don’t you dare go hollow while looking for information on Elden Ring (the newest installment from From Software—notorious for games of an unforgiving nature). I subsequently fell down a YouTube and Reddit rabbit hole. I read many posts, and watched several videos from heartwarming stories from people claiming Dark Souls lifted them out of depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety. These individuals were open about their crippling depression, and finding solace in playing these games.

The WSJ had an interesting article last week revealing what changes in the new contract between DoorDash and McDonald’s. The first change concerns the base commission, lowering what McDonald’s will be paying, from 15.5% to 11.6% for orders from nonsubscribers, and 14.1% for orders from DashPass members. But the main change is actually adding penalties on waiting time: “When a driver has to wait more than four minutes, the rates start to climb, reaching 17.

the idea for these cookies came to me after watching clarie saffitz make a paris-brest on youtube. i’d made cookies with roughly chopped hazelnut praline in them before, but watching that video made me wonder what would happen if both a blended and chopped hazelnut praline met up in a chocolate chip cookie. little did i know how that innocent thought would lead me down a rather long road of development.

I offer my apologies in advance for what is going to be a post that’s pretty inside-baseball to the Straussian world—that is, to the world of ideas shaped by Leo Strauss’s teaching and writing. In previous posts, I’ve laid out my distinctive reading of Strauss’ highly enigmatic work. My understanding of him parts ways from how he’s interpreted by most other American Straussians and the many scholars who now study his thought.
