Much of the internet is currently about how the New York Times’s Peter Baker is a bad journalist and doesn’t understand journalism and thinks this is all a fucking game and is no better than a Nazi collaborator the way he normalizes Donald Trump.

The Trump administration is fighting for Andrew Tate in Romania because in Trump’s eyes, the more scum of the earth you are, the better. [Newsweek]
This was a really nice roasted white fish recipe. I used halibut because I forgot how expensive halibut is, Jesus Christ. [New York Times recipes]
Need a lovely film to watch? Need to turn off the news? (Yes, probably.) It’s called All We Imagine As Light. It was nominated for best non-English language film this year at the Golden Globes. [IMDB}
