I should have held out on publishing yesterday’s photo of the tomahawk steak because today I read the news that ads for meat have been banned in Amsterdam for some ludicrous woke reason. I could have used the photo to protest against this Dutch silliness.
I’m rereading the diaries of Rafael Chirbes for my new research project, and I wonder what he would have thought about the trajectory of the Left. Chirbes believed that one of his greatest callings was to be a food writer. He was a man of the Left before the Left ditched the working classes and embraced the life philosophy of fussy rich spinsters. The bans on eating meat and smoking (both of which are a working man’s alternative to therapy) would have shocked the writer.

Yes, friends, domestic disaster relief is racist.
And obviously, you don’t hate toady journalists enough.

–would note: it’s from CBS, so the Bari Weiss takeover hasn’t changed anything essential. She is, like the rest, an affluent liberal, with affluent liberal concerns.
