My new job is really a lot of fun. Being a food writer rules, and I haven\u2019t even gotten to do one of those \u201cthe company\u2019s buying you a bunch of food to taste test\u201d articles yet. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, I am busier than I used to be. You, you beautiful and intelligent and thoughtful and charming reader, you don\u2019t deserve half-assed columns. For me, your dogged writer, that means occasionally doing something easy and fun. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey Chris, what\u2019s the difference between \u2018half-assed\u2019 and \u2018easy and fun?\u2019\u201d <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shut up, is the difference. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why isn\u2019t Inner Mongolia part of Mongolia? <\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why isn&#039;t Inner Mongolia a part of Mongolia?

I\u2019ve linked to a bunch before. He recently made a video about why he didn\u2019t want to do that anymore, and how he wanted to be a <em>musician<\/em> musician, not a YouTube musician. Good on him. Sungazer, his band, is pretty good. More proggy than I usually like, but fascinating songwriting and tight musicianship. I\u2019ve been enjoying their videos and Adam\u2019s playthroughs, especially this one for \u201cPaydushko,\u201d which mesmerizing to watch all them 5\/4 notes drift by. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DID YOU SEE COBY WHITE DUNK ON WEMBY<\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Coby White SHOCKS the World with a POSTER on Wemby! \ud83d\ude31\ud83d\udd25\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2FATI2ddxKw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AY MAN WE\u2019RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THIS MORE AT LENGTH SOON BUT DID YOU SEE COBY WHITE POSTERIZE WEMBY?
