10,000 Vintage Recipe Books Are Now Digitized in The Internet Archive’s Cookbook & Home Economics Collection

“Early cookbooks were fit for kings,” writes Henry Notaker at The Atlantic. “The oldest published recipe collections” in the 15th and 16th centuries in Western Europe “emanated from the palaces of monarchs, princes, and grand señores.” Cookbooks were more than recipe collections—they were guides to court etiquette and sumptuous records of luxurious living.

I didn’t know I needed to watch a cute, chubby field hamster running through a field in slow motion, but here we are.

Wildlife photographer Julian Rad has a nice collection of photos/videos of furry little friends in nature. They’re super cute.

It's an unfortunate truth that many governmental and large non-profit IT systems and processes are underfunded, overloaded, and decades behind the times.

I suspect that's allowed to continue for exactly the reasons you suspect.

Sometimes beautiful things come out of terrible circumstances. This does not justify more terrible circumstances.

A person I otherwise deeply respect has remained (very) active on the deadbird site, and is even paying for it, because (the person says) it fulfills a professional need that can't be met elsewhere.

My friend calls it "a deal with the devil." On that, we agree.

I have my share of hypocrisies, and try to manage them carefully. Sticking with a site run by an enemy of journalism and democracy was just too much to stomach.

Journalists should leave. Period.
