It seems no matter how many channels I block there's always more annoying eyesore thumbnails, so this is fantastic.

Agreed. Cast iron is very easy to take care of. I replaced all nonstick with cast iron years ago and haven't looked back.

I like the internet. It's been integral in my life becoming myself. I've met some of my favorite people through it.

It's my hope that the era of social media comes to an end and the internet transitions back to how it used to be pre 2008 or so (iPhone and Facebook changed things), less centralized and all-consuming. A return to smaller communities as opposed to these larger algorithmic, advertiser-servicing platforms. Discord servers and focused forums. Communities of friends over public places to chase clout. In addition to handy services like shopping, banking, maps, etc. In essence, the internet as a tool rather than a social expectation. Because in many ways it is a really powerful tool, and I don't want to see that go away and I don't think it ever will at this point.

There are cracks showing in the social media model, Twitter and reddit in particular at the moment, but it yet remains a hope that we can turn it back to a more positive thing in our lives.

Pea soup is my easy go-to meal. Onion and carrot sweated in oil/butter, dried split peas, stock, and bay leaves. Enjoy with quality bread.
