Fruition, adjacent to the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskills, makes the warmest, smoothest chocolate bar: the Brown Butter Bar. I love an untraditional ingredientā like buckwheat or curryā but the simplicity here can't be beat.

š«This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop.
Itās run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about āthe benefitsā of chocolate and how itās a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. Heāll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and itās wrong a lot of the time.
Youāll then buy a bar even though itās small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way againā¦

Sesame Street is a brilliant show. We tend to glorify sloppy violence and ultra-dark themes but those are more than easy, in fact, they are often gratuitous and masturbatory! It takes much more intention to make something so beautiful, creative, and playful.
Play is one of the highest forms of present-ness with another person. Compliments, cheerleading, pep talks all have a short lifespan. They're impersonal and don't actually require much effort. Play is a beautiful way to communicate to someone else that they are worthy of your sustained attentions, time, and imagination, and the fact that Sesame Street managed to do that for thousands of kids is nothing short of true genius.

From Haymarket Books: "Now as ever, we recognize the root cause and ongoing perpetrator of violence in Palestine to be Israeli settler-colonialism and apartheid, and we stand in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for freedom."

The iPod Shuffle is a design miracle. Five buttons, no screen, your favorite 200 songs on random mode. The process of loading songs feels archaic and clunky today compared to the seamlessness of streaming, but it's worth it to use this adorable little device.
