Our friends at 270 Reasons are gathering a polyphonic orchestra of brilliant writers, teachers, doctors, filmmakers, artists, and citizens of all kinds to weigh in about their plans to vote this November. These opinion essays run the gamut from advocacy for basic human rights to acutely personal mini-manifestoes. Read the rest over at 270 Reasons.
The last eighteen months have seen the hottest temperatures in at least the last 125,000 years on our planet. That’s come with fire, flood, storm, drought, and death.
The last eighteen months have also seen—finally—the onset of the renewable energy revolution. We’re now installing a gigawatt of solar panels (about a nuclear power plant’s worth) on this earth every day.
November 5 will play a huge role in which of these trends accelerates fastest.
They don’t tell you this in the Hot Dog Handbook, but hot dogs are hungry for mystery…
There’s something weird leaking from gas station ceilings. What’s dribbling down is not rainwater or condensation from an AC unit or anything gnarly like that—it’s a pink juice we like to call “Mystery D.” Some people suspect the juice is windshield-washer fluid or Mountain Dew Spark. But we know it’s not any of that stuff—it’s Mystery D.
Look for the big hole in the ceiling once you’re inside a gas station. It should be right above the commercial hot dog steamer and the liquid cheese dispenser. And teetering on stilts—in the space between—you will find a stinky old milk crate lined with a garbage bag. The function of this receptacle is to collect Mystery D from the source, presumably so it can be bottled and sold as antifreeze or Pepto Bismol. But who gives a shit about that? We’re here because we want to take the ultimate ride.
You want the ultimate? Drop Mystery D on your hot dog.

I thought it would be fun to excerpt all the times Antony Blinken’s name appears in the piece.
First mention:
