There’s nothing egalitarian about conferring awards and recognizing excellence. This inherently exclusionary act relies on aspiration as motivation and merit as measure. Anything less is not an award or honor, but a decorative commodity available to anyone who desires it enough.

Have we run out of things to do? If the only way to maintain authority is by arbitrarily changing the rules, the those who blindly follow deserve to be arbitrarily ruled.
We deleted an earlier tweet because of an inappropriate reference to French people. We did not intend to offend. Writing French people, French citizens, etc., is good. But "the" terms for any people can sound dehumanizing and imply a monolith rather than diverse individuals.

Bonjwing Lee @1a and @JWhitePubRadio - why was @edyong209's response about Biden's handling of the pandemic faded out, and a voice over said "This is the wrong segment of 1A, this is the right one," and then broke for commercial?

Oh by the way, my blog got a desperately needed redesign. New look, new features (including an interactive map and chef index), and more robust cross-referencing capabilities. For your consideration: ulteriorepicure.com
