Bar Ona
“The decline of third places and good bars is catalyzed by our growing restlessness. In a culture that fetishizes hustling and grinding and getting ahead, we have become uncomfortable with rest.”
—
The King of Olives
“I learned that those olives were Castelvetranos, known as the king of olives. Vibrant green with a meaty texture and buttery flavor. Less salty and bitter than other varieties. The kind of olive that even an olive-hater can tolerate and maybe even love.”
— Tony Mann
You Can Just Fix Things
“That’s just getting old, you’ll hear people say, best to give it up while you can still walk. These are the people you see often hobbling across the aisle at the grocery shop, reduced to a limp at the ripe age of forty-two.” —
Degeneracy, Decay, and the Aesthetic Revolution
“The first step, the catalyst of this great descent into decay, is the mocking of superior virtue and the reward of weakness and vice. A culture that forgets to push forward towards virtue is a culture that will inevitably slide down towards vice.”

Outlier Genius
"The mind builds stained-glass cathedrals because the soul wasn't held. It makes those who love them admire them like great works of art—Soul-shatteringly beautiful because of the pain and transformation they have endured.”
—
Why Worry?
“For thousands of years, the fear of lack has plagued menís hearts and driven them to despair, greed, murder, and a thousand other evils”
— Konrad Verbaarschott
Balsamic
“Even most Italians, it seems, aren't aware of what real balsamic, in its true unadulterated form, is. Check the ingredients on the bottle sitting on your shelf and you'll find you don't have the fullness of balsamic at your disposal. Barring great fortune, every bottle you'll find at your grocery store will have more than one ingredient; at least two of the possible wine vinegar, concentrated grape must, cooked grape must, and caramel color.”
— Evan
