Well, I had already killed my WAPO subscription when I found out how awful Bezos' new man in charge was. Yesterday I killed my LA Times account due to its billionaire owner. Today I signed up for the Philadelphia Inquirer and restarted my Boston Globe subscription.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has no qualms about making an endorsement. It's owned by a nonprofit foundation.

Soon-Shiong and Bezos figure they can appease Trump if he wins, and that if Harris wins she won't do anything to them.
They've exposed how cowardly they are. And even if they don't fear a Harris administration, it's up to us to deal with them.
Here nonprofit Archeologia Arborea is simultaneously working to help farmers preserve and bring back these forgotten fruits. What, we wonder, does she think of Cattelan’s banana?
Dalla Ragione wants to restore Italy’s “disappearing fruit agriculture,” once was widely cultivated in the 16th century, but since vanished, as Italy’s produce diversity continues to drop. Slowly, through her study of 15th and 16th century paintings, Dalla Ragione has been rediscovering lost fruit, which have led her to track down often strange-looking, missing apples, cherries, and other produce in vegetable gardens and orchards across the country.
FRUIT DETECTIVE LOOKS TO RENAISSANCE PAINTINGS. Isabella Dalla Ragione studies Renaissance paintings, but not the way most art historians do. The Italian scholar is a so-called "fruit detective" who combs through historic paintings for any signs of rare fruit and vegetables that are no longer eaten today, because of industrialized changes to agricultural practices, the Smithsonian Magazine writes.

PSA: don't use black plastic tools and containers for anything edible.

Many black plastic kitchen items are made from recycled electronic materials that contain toxic flame retardants and other chemicals.
But a new look at documents from the period “shows their contributions right across society, that they weren’t silent, and their lives were rich and interesting.” The show titled “Medieval Women: In their Own Words” is on view until March 2, 2025. [ The Guardian]
A fascinating new exhibition at the British Library illustrates how women in the Middle Ages led armies, performed surgeries, wrote sexually explicit poetry, and lead lives of agency, despite discrimination. “Traditional histories have focused on male history, on the stories of kings and wars, and the kind of major events from which women were excluded,” said lead curator Eleanor Jackson.
