The Financial times

I feel like such an old ass man when I read it but also genuinely informed. The reporting is very good and helps you get a real grasp of world political economy, unlike the usual clickbait garbage you see elsewhere. Shoutout to Alexandra Scaggs and Rana Foroohar

financial times

Very expensive to subscribe to, but if you google any FT article headline in an incognito browser you can almost always read it for free. They can't really lie about the material world too intensely because a subset of their readership wants to (amorally) trade on factual reality, and the politics skew more left than you'd think (especially by US standards) because they don't suffer from any libertarian illusions regarding the necessary duality of capitalism and regulation

On Food and Cooking

This is a cookbook with no recipes that will teach you how to cook everything. It covers everything there is to know about food -- from how it was discovered, how man changed it, how it is grown, how it is harvested and how to prepare and cook it. It dramatically changed my cooking life.

Share and be kind

Travel is about getting along with strangers. Being kind and generous tends to pay off 10x. Also never book a connecting flight if at all possible. Takeoff and landing are your only points of failure don’t multiply them.

Tinned fish

I spent most of my life thinking they were cat food at best. But I visited Clydes one day for bivalves and martinis and tried their new conservas menu. Now I am watching tinned fish reviews and eating all kinds of sardines.
