Great piece Steve! Regarding cooking stoves, I am a cook and baker. I love my gas stove

Honestly. That said, I have used a glass top electric stove and once I got used to it it was fine. Do I prefer gas? Yes! I also prefer cast iron and charcoal grills, but I will adapt when necessary. I think your comment regarding a phase out is the right move. Over time these nefarious gas stoves will be gone and people will cook with electric and we will keep our increasing bellies filled and happy. Thanks for your perspective.

"since the day that George Santos first invented the electric light bulb". Excellent work!

I'll chime in on a few of the topics you brought up. First, I love to cook and spent the bulk of my life on a gas stove before moving into homes which only had electric. I can say from experience that electric takes a little getting use to but it works fine. The "must use fire" crowd bores me. I've never used induction but I hear good things, and you can't burn yourself. Science!

Your outrage machine thoughts brought to mind that a Barbie live action movie will be dropping soon. I know next to nothing about it but I'm 99.9% sure the FOX News sub-literati will find something in it to be appalled by. "The dream house had an induction stove! NOT MY BARBIE!!"

People of a certain age will say today's NBA players are only this good because "nobody plays defense anymore". I don't watch enough to know how valid that is but I do know the NBA probably has about 500% more amazing, well rounded athletes than in any other era.

Morrissey has become racist trash. You did not touch on this but its always worth mentioning.

Keep up the good work! Xoxoxo

I’ll bet there will also be complaints about IRL Barbie not having the same proportions as the doll does.

And when I hear the “there’s no defense” comment I immediately think “YOU try guarding Giannis!”

IRL Barbie is Margot Robbie. Only an insane person would complain.
