Good Things Friday (311) and Link Love
February 7, 2025
1. I hauled myself across town to get to the Korean grocery store with the good fried chicken and the delicious stacks and stacks of ban chan for takeaway as far as the eye can see. They had prepared fried chicken marked down 30% off and I happened across a 20% off sale on pork spare ribs making them less ridiculously expensive. The ban chan was faaaantastic and lasts for days. If you combine some of them: seasoned cold spinach, cucumbers and bean sprouts with ginger beef (Costco), rice, and a fried egg, you just about have yourself a bibimbap.
2. Feels like a bit of a miracle we scraped through this week.
Everything from That Fucking Guy is so Fucking Stupid: Trump’s emergency water order responsible for water dump from Tulare County lakes
The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans
What I’d like to know is why literally any person in the US would look at either Trump or Musk who are well known for not paying their bills and think, yeah, they’ll follow through on their promise to pay me sometime later: more on the federal government’s “deferred resignation” offer (spoiler: it’s definitely a trap)
It feels like we could just have a scrolling board of all the hateful spiteful things they do: Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice
