The Subtraction Economy
How they take more, give you less, and train you not to notice. Pour two fingers of the vodka you trusted ten years ago and you taste grain, cold, and a clean burn that meant something had been distilled with care. Pour the same brand today and you get water and a faint chemical ghost of that promise. The bottle looks identical and the price has climbed, while the liquid inside has been quietly reformulated down toward rotgut. A label held constant over a swapped recipe is the entire con, and the house is betting you will never run a blind taste test against a memory, because memory fades while the bottle on the shelf looks just like the one you loved.

And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
[Und ich habe, mein Lieber, wieder bei diesem kleinen Geschäft gefunden, dass Missverständnisse und Trägheit vielleicht mehr Irrungen in der Welt machen als List und Bosheit. Wenigstens sind die beiden letzteren gewiss seltener.]Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, statesman, scientist
Die Leiden des jungen Werthers [The Sorrows of Young Werther], “Letter from May 4th” (1774) [tr. Taylor]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/goethe-johann/6749/

Sounds like when I found out one of my grandma's much beloved potato recipes was actually a very common dish in Sweden. Of course, now the mystery is how my grandma learned about this Swedish dish never having traveled there or apparently even knowing anyone Swedish ever.

#Loki is the #Norse #god of #fire, #trickery, and #shapeshifting. He is the son of a giant and a goddess, and the brother of #Helblindi and #Býleistr. He is married to #Sigyn and has many children, including #Hel, #Fenrir, #Jörmungandr, and #Sleipnir. He is both a friend and a foe of the #Aesir, as he often helps them or causes trouble for them. He is the main cause of Baldr’s death and will fight against the gods at #Ragnarök

In 1983, Phyllis Diller snuck into the male-only Friar’s Club roast for Sid Ceasar dressed as a man aka Phillip Downey. She was the first woman to attend the Club.
It wasn’t until 1987 when the first female, @officiallizaminnelli was officially inducted and openly allowed into the club.
Phyllis shown here with her co-conspirator and date, Howard Rosen.
