what sort of soups?

I love making soups. The last batch I made was Potato/Leek/Onion/Celery/Carrot, but I have a big preference for Tomato Soup. Soup is amazing.

Just remembering the time last year when I spent hours making some homemade passata out of this beautiful batch of tomatoes. Then I fucked the lot up with some cheap, foul tasting chicken stock I'd picked up at the Asian supermarket. That was soul destroying. I don't bother pealing + sieving tomatoes any more, it wasn't worth the effort.

Listening to my music collection geographically.

On soup, can anyone recommend a good Clam Chowdah recipe? I perpetually dream about the stuff I had in Boston but have yet to try and make a batch up.

may i steer fellow soup enthusiasts to this thread: ≋post yr soups≋

xps oh i don't discriminate

cutting baleful timesuck websites from my life

expand on this one please

reading up on a certain profession's actual official code for a course i'm teaching, thinking of torturing the students by making them answer take-home exam questions about the code itself.

i thought this before, but it's super super clear after this (unrelated) readthru - the behavior of all these fbi agents and other govt officials in the news lately, documenting all their interactions, which could appear peculiar if you're viewing it through/without the relevant lens, watching a paranoid cable news network, etc., is utterly prosaic from the perspective of a profession with a high level of discipline, code enforcement, etc.

so wonderfully bleak

j. I asked because I'm working on developing a code of conduct / ethical guidelines for my own profession - curious as to which one you're reading up on. the origin stories for these things are fascinating too. completely agreed re: potentially peculiar behavior that makes perfect sense from inside the job

the one for cpas - recently updated to incorporate a THREAT-SAFEGUARD conceptual model!

in my own profession they have recently been trying to institute a code, to somehow help with like predatory teachers and the like, and it seems to have nothing like the level of agreement and clarity about the purpose of the work (for obvious reasons), which makes what they've come up with so far sound pretty ad hoc

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (it' all streaming on Amazon Prime)

Ha. I was just coming here to similarly post that I'm stuck in the '60s atm. Gettin' heavy into AIP films. Watched the first two Frankie & Annette movies this weekend, which were a corny gas (the second, Muscle Beach Party, featuring the screen debut of Little Stevie Wonder and what I thought were some rip-off Beach Boys-esque tunes until I noticed Brian Wilson's name in the credits). It's this fun but weird and slightly distressing hermetically-sealed world existing parallel to the general social strife of the era that I've been feverishly reading about for the past year.

oh damn I haven't seen any Frankie & Annette movies but I always mean to every year after I watch the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special
