I’ve been enjoying recipes from Hermann. He’s got a youtube series making traditionally vegan recipes.

Also: masoor/red lentil dal

Reading OpenAI Economic Blueprint because I hate myself.

AI good, China bad, please give money. Truly powerful stuff

Loomio could be worth checking. They are a co-op that make software that other co-ops use, a lot of links to other tech co-ops from their page.
