Deep-dark, moist, intensely flavorful chocolate cake — made with zucchini!
It's the time of year when my CSA loads us up with zucchini and various other summer squash, and this recipe never fails. Cuts in half beautifully if you live in a small household. And no, you can't taste the zucchini; it just melts into the cake.

Sometimes a fanon interpretation shared by so many people will gaslight you into thinking YOU're not smart enough to understand it when, in reality, no, the collective of a fandom can indeed just be misinterpreting a character beyond parody. It's not you, it's them

I bet any word with the suffix -gate is impossible to directly translate in most languages. At that point it’s a a proper noun. Like, how do you translate Debategate?
apparently this type of linguistic phenomenon has happened in exactly one other language: Italian
from The Oxford English Dictionary:
In the early 1990s Italy was rocked by its own scandal, when a criminal investigation exposed widespread corruption and bribery among the country’s politicians, civil servants, and businesses. The investigation was centred on the city of Milan, which was dubbed Tangentopoli by the press. Tangentopoli is formed from the noun tangente, meaning bribe, and the suffix –poli used to designate a city or town (compare the English suffix –opolis); an English rendering of the term is Bribesville (compare the –ville suffix, a use dating from the mid-sixteenth century and in regular use from the late nineteenth). By metonymy the name Tangentopoli was transferred from the city in which the scandal was centred to the scandal itself. As with –gate from Watergate, the suffix –poli became detached from Tangentopoli and took on a life of its own, creating new words to describe new scandals. These included Affittopoli (rentgate, a scandal in which politicians were revealed to be renting luxury apartments from the state for very low sums of money), Esamopoli (examgate, in which it was discovered that lecturers at the University of Bari had been selling exam papers to students) and, most famously, Calciopoli (footballgate, a match-fixing scandal involving some of Italy’s top football clubs; also known as Moggiopoli after the Juventus director Luciano Moggi). However, even in Italy, Calciopoli is sometimes called Calciogate, illustrating the enduring and far-reaching influence of a suffix that can trace its birth to a burglary in Washington on the evening of 17 June 1972.

“I was on a strict diet during Episode VIII, and she was like, ‘Kid, get into that fridge and take some chocolate bars. I have many there.’ And I did,” he recalls. “I failed my diet because Carrie Fisher told me to. And it [felt] great.”

I watch the show for the plot.
The plot:
My heart is lighter than a feather and my liver is darker than a black coffee because that's what it's marinating in
Do I need to make a Dunkin Run and see if they have any of these left? (pictures would be posted, of course)
Yes
No
Alas - I did go, but they were already sold out and I had content myself with the snacking bacon
From all of us, thanks for trying.

On Sharing Appreciation for Good Design
I fell down a bit of a rabbit hole this week. It started when @commodorez shared the image above.
I'm a sucker for good design (having studied it for my bachelor's degree) and this is a beautiful bit of illustration. It looks like it's from a catalog or something of the sort, but the actual source was unknown. I would love to know where it came from and hopefully find a higher resolution copy of it.
Reverse image search led me to a Ukrainian language page talking about color using IBM as an example. But the machine translation had some issues and I failed to see the connection to the old computers shown nor I could not determine the image source from the page. The only other relevant result was an article about "Silicon City", an exhibit by the New York Historical Society ten years ago. The page did not actually seem to have the image in question, but it did give me something to go off of. Searching for the exhibition, I was able to find this image that showed it included a reproduction, but I could not read the info card.
Eventually I found a blog post from Adafruit recounting a visit to the exhibition which had a much higher resolution photo of the exhibit — enough that I could just make out the text; something about IBM and "Color in the Workplace". Which is indeed the title of the document, so finding the source was easy from there. It was a marketing publication for IBM designed by none other than Paul Rand.
It is absolutely lovely. The styling, the clean illustration, the colors. And the rest of the document is no less beautiful.
The name Paul Rand seemed familiar, but I couldn't immediately recall why. I never have had much memory for names & history. It didn't take long scrolling though his website to remember though. There are few designers so prolific, whose work is so iconic and recognizable to the general public.
But among retrocomputing enthusiasts, such as myself, there is perhaps one favorite piece of artwork Paul Rand created for IBM:
That was a fun rabbit hole to go down. Paul Rand's career spanned more than six decades and his work managed to capture (or perhaps even define) the look and feel of each one. I'll definitely be spending more time reviewing his vast body of work as I start in on branding and theming design for VCF Southwest 2027.

It's trying to assimilate to the local culture. Don't let acts like this fool you
