Hi, Peter, I have a question that is only tangentially connected to writing. Is it permissible/advisable to wash the inside of one's teapot with soap? I trust you as the product of a tea-loving culture *g*
If it's a Chinese teapot, don't wash out the inside with anything! They're unglazed, porous, and meant to build up a natural internal layer of tea oils.
If it's a Western teapot, then - unless you're Commander Vimes and the internal build-up of crud is part of the drink's character (also IIRC in the US Navy, where it applies to personal coffee cups) - washing out the inside will do no harm.
Either they're glass (like our standard one) or glazed ceramic (like our Brown Betty) or steel (like our Bodum French Press jug); in all cases, using what I presume is regular dish-washing soap will do no harm.
Inadequate rinsing out of said soap is another matter altogether, and will do interesting things to the flavour of the next cuppa. :-P
To quote a movie @dduane and I will be watching next month:
"Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavour - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Lifebuoy, on the other hand…"

A couple of views of the iconic art deco Palmolive building

The top ten most fuckable skyscrapers in America according to me personally:
- The Empire State Building. Classically gorgeous, beautifully proportioned. Strong, soulful, incredible range of expression. The Bob De Niro of iconic urban architecture. Exemplifies all that makes New York City great.
- The Willis Sears Tower. An absolute unit. Tall, dark, and handsome. A little menacing. What’s not to love?
- The Chrysler Building. Objectively more beautiful than the ESB but I think imposing stature and flashy light displays are sexier qualities than elegance. I am a dumb bitch with terrible taste, I will never change, I will never improve, etc.
- The Hancock Building. He got two ears :)
- The Palmolive Building. Once home to Playboy, has a giant beacon on top of it. Literally a horny urban lighthouse.
- The Tribune Tower. Look at that thing. Fucking crazy. Like Viggo Mortensen in Return of the King when he finally gets a bath and a fancy crown, only instead of Minas Tirith he hangs out in Chicago and holds court for a bunch of schmucks.
- One PPG Place in Pittsburgh. A brooding glass fortress in the heart of a steel city. The Michael Keaton Batman of skyscrapers.
- The MetLife and Helmsley Buildings, which come as a package deal for #8 and #9. I pass through Grand Central Terminal five days a week. I’m sentimental. I know these two have always got my back. Husband material.
- One Vanderbilt. Ugh, it’s a Vanderbilt. But so good looking. This is my enemies to lovers midtown Manhattan AU. Must be included on that basis.

Have you ever seen a fox in person?
I have not.
Would you say you have a quiet mind or do you have a lot of thoughts?
I dunno how to answer this...I feel like it’s always either one or the other. My mind can definitely race, but I can zone out quite often, too. I guess it depends on my disposition for the day. Heavier anxiety = busier thoughts.
When did you last do something brave?
Earlier, I guess? I’m in Malaysia right now and I tried to venture out earlier all alone beyond the mall that we’ve been visiting the past two days...and doing that felt pretty brave. I circled back though once I realized there was nothing to discover anyway.
Have you ever seen a magician?
Well, yes. Idk about other cultures but booking magicians is common in children’s birthday parties here, so I’ve seen my fair share of them.
What's something you remember from your childhood that you wish you could experience again?
Falling asleep on any non-bed surface and being carried to your actual bed.
Do you believe in karma? Why or why not?
I mean I don’t have a strong, spiritual dependency on it, but it’s always nice when people get their ass bitten back after they’ve been a horrible person.
Do you have a tiktok account?
I do, but I rarely go on TikTok. Too Gen Z for my taste and I only keep the app for work purposes.
Do you prefer the scent or color of lavender?
Scent.
Would you rather live in a castle or a cottage?
I would pick the castle. I feel like previous versions of me would prefer the quietness of a cottage, but at this point in my life I feel like the silence would drive me crazy within the days.
What type of music do you listen to the least and why?
Country and techno, if anything. They’re just not my type of music, especially country.
When did you last visit a library?
I’m not sure. I was definitely in school, and it was before the pandemic...so anywhere around 2019 to super early 2020.
What's one of your favorite memories from staying up late?
When I was active in the wrestling fandom 10 years ago, EVERYBOdy else was either from the US or UK; this meant I was the one who had to adjust for the most part to be able to keep up with the community and with news. That also meant stocking up and chugging cups of coffee from 10-11 PM to be able to be awake for my friends through the night...it was always worth it though. I was able to find an amazing group of friends at the time who waited til I got home from school (the same way I’d stay up for them) until the wrestlers that we stanned resigned/left WWE and we all kind of grew apart from there.
Have or would you ever wear a necklace with someone's initial on it?
I don’t think I have, but it’s something I’m willing to do. Initials to me aren’t as bad as, like, a full name or self-portrait.
What last made you laugh out loud?
I’m watching Run BTS while taking this.
Do you usually keep water by your bedside at night?
I used to, but I grew out of the habit.
What's an interesting fact about yourself?
I have not seen most Disney movies. Like I’m pretty sure the entirety of my Disney watch history has only been Pixar films; most else I haven’t seen.
What did you last heat up in a microwave?
Some cheesy chicken dish my dad made a couple of weeks ago.
Would you consider yourself lucky?
In very few aspects. It’s rarely a word I would use to describe my experiences.
What kind of pizza did you eat last?
The iconic cheese pizza from Habanero, which was worth every single hype post I ever saw talk about it. I still dream about that damned pizza to this day.
What kind of shampoo do you use?
I use Dove usually, but currently I have a Palmolive bottle just because they have a BT21 collaboration and I wanted to try it hahahaha.
How many blue objects are in the room you're in?
My luggage is blue.
Would you rather visit an art museum or an aquarium?
Museum.
Do you prefer sweeter cereal over unsweetened?
Sweeter.
If you could build a 5 artist/band lineup to your dream music festival.. which ones would you choose?
BTS, Twice, Seventeen, Lee Youngji, Epik High.
What's a habit you have broken or are currently trying to break?
I’ve been trying not to stay up until 2-3 AM before a workday.
Have you ever volunteered at an animal shelter?
I haven’t but that’s been on my mind for years now. I’ve just been too busy... :(
Is there anything currently bothering you?
Yeah...I’ve been on leave for like virtually two weeks now, and the amount of workload I’ve been leaving behind is stressful. This is on top of the fact that I have a new associate under me who’s been pretty clueless about what to do, so I’ve had to take portions of my leave to walk her hand through certain tasks; and then there’s also the anxiety of not being sure if she’s able to do the job right. Idk. It sucks. I’m in a sucky place mental-wise. I am extremely grateful for this leave and the two vacations I have taken (my first in seven years), but I also can’t wait for it to be OVER so I can finally be back on track and get rid of that exhausting catching-up feeling.
How many stuffed animals do you have on your bed?
Do the BT21 ones count as stuffed animals? I’ve got two - one Tata, one Koya.
How much is too much to spend on a pair of shoes?
I would probably stop at anywhere over ₱30,000.
What's the strangest thing that you've ever seen someone collect?
There are stranger collections I’m sure, but my mom likes to collect tissue papers from different establishments. They’re all unused ok so she’s not gross HAHA, but I think it’s both unique and endearing that she keeps a stash of tissues from like McDonald’s and Jollibee and Shakey’s and where-fucking-ever in the car.
Have you recently been to a concert?
ARE YOU KIDDING. I went to see AGUST FUCKING D last Sunday in Bangkok. Bit of a nosebleed seat, but I COULD NOT CARE LESS. I was with Yoongi that night; and it was the one promise I made myself when I decided not to go the unaliving route when I discovered BTS two years ago. I sang and screamed and cheered like my life depended on it and between you and me I still feel like floating on air; I can’t believe my friends and I managed to make it happen.
Who did you last have a phone conversation with?
Idk I don’t talk on the phone a lot.
What's the most dominant personality trait you have?
I am sensitive.
Do you ever watch sports?
Eh, just wrestling.
What's had the biggest impact on your day?
The dude who hit on me while I was sitting at the park. That was a nice ego boost because nobody ever approaches me back in the Philippines LOL, but I wish it didn’t happen while I genuinely wanted to be alone. We don’t have any parks in the Philippines so I was Actually savoring my time there, so to that guy I shot down in record time, I’m sorry. Thank you for being nice about it though.
What's your least favorite cheese?
I don’t think I’ve ever found a least favorite cheese.
What did you last have as a snack?
Some 7-Eleven sushi.
What's your favorite decoration in your place of residence?
It’s more than just decoration, but seeing Kimi’s memorial box in the living room makes me smile every single day. I like that we have a way to keep him around.
Would you rather read a book or watch a movie?
I’d pick the movie mostly because I am a lot pickier with books.
What's your plans for the upcoming week?
Finish out my vacation here in Malaysia, then catch up on work starting Wednesday.
When did you last feel rushed?
Last Sunday, after the concert. Bangkok concert culture is a bit different from Manila’s and security will clear out the inside and outside of the arena *as soon* as the artist walks off, so after Yoongi left the stage everything was pretty much a blur. We were being asked to leave every 10 seconds even though we were clearly rushing out, lol.
What was the last thing to scare you?
I felt like some guy was following me earlier back at the mall, so I felt off and walked as briskly as I can.
Have you drank enough water today?
Eh, probably not.
What's your top 3 favorite fruits?
Avocado, and that’s it really.
What season do you think is the most comfortable?
Neither.
What lie do you say the most?
That I’m doing fine. It’s also the safest lie to go with so it’s whatever.
What website do you frequent often besides Bzoink?
Twitter, YouTube, Facebook.
Do you have anything due soon?
Nopes.
What did you last consume that you thought was nasty?
I haven’t had anything bad in a while, actually!
What's a song you feel describes your mood most right now?
Hectic by RM and Colde.

A giant grocery merger will send "inflation" through the roof
Sometimes it’s hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread belief in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, as it turns out, we absolutely can.
Yes, it’s hard to peer into the minds of executives at large companies and know whether their price hikes are due to greed or necessity. But we don’t have peer into their minds! We can just dial into their investor calls, where top execs of giant companies brag about hiking prices under cover of inflation:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/20/quiet-part-out-loud/#profiteering
These guys can’t help but boast about their price-setting power, whether that’s Colgate-Palmolive CEO Noel Wallace boasting that his company is “good at pricing”:
https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2021/10/29/colgate-palmolive-company-cl-q3-2021-earnings-call/
Or Procter and Gamble CFO Andre Schulten saying, “We have not seen any material reaction from consumers, so that makes us feel good about our relative position.”

The grocery barons are particularly boastful. Here’s Kroger CFO Gary Millerchip explaining why higher wholesale costs have not led to an erosion of the company’s massive margins: “We’ve been very comfortable with our ability to pass on the increases that we’ve seen at this point, and we would expect that to continue to be the case.”

Kroger is about to get a lot more pricing power, because it is merging with Albertsons, a company that already bought Safeway, Haggen, Acme, Jewel Osco, Shaw’s, Pavilions, Von’s and too many others to fit in here.
But there are some companies Albertsons definitely doesn’t own, because they’re owned by Kroger: Ralph’s, Dillon’s, Food 4 Less, Fre _Meyer, Harris Teeter, King Soopers, Mariano’s, and many more. As David Dayen writes for The American Prospect, “the illusion of choice in supermarkets masks the dominance.” and this the “preposterous” $24.6b merger will produce a price-gouging juggernaut:
https://prospect.org/power/proposed-kroger-albertsons-merger-would-create-grocery-giant/
The leadership of both companies assure us that they will not use their combined might to raise prices. These are, of course, the same leaders who have been publicly boasting about their ability to raise prices thanks to their existing scale. With five giant companies controlling nearly the entire US grocery market, it’s not really a mystery why grocery prices are up 13% in the past year, while eggs are up 30.5%, chicken up 17.2% and coffee up 15.7%:

As Kroger CEO told his shareholders: “a little bit of inflation is always good in our business” because it lets him raise prices and “customers don’t overly react.”
The architects of the deal are the resassuringly named PE giant Cerberus Capital, who stand to make $7b from the merger:

These are the same motherfuckers who bought up local hospital chains, debt-loaded them, and then threatened to shut them down at the start of the pandemic if they didn’t get massive, no-strings-attached public subsidies:
https://pluralistic.net/2020/04/04/a-mind-forever-voyaging/#prop-bets
Cerberus is also behind Spain’s rental affordability crisis, having bought up innumerable buildings and jacked up the rent, while cutting maintenance and evicting the shit out of anyone who complains:

As Dayen writes, this merger turns on a bet: that the FTC will not block it, but rather, rely on the tired, discredited idea of “conduct remedies” — where a the companies undertaking a giga-merger have to pinky swear that they won’t abuse their market power. This always requires a monumental act of credulity, but that’s doubly true with these companies.
Back in 2015, Albertsons merged with Safeway, and promised that it would lessen its control over groceries in western states by selling off 168 stores, mostly to Haggen, a company that was “woefully underequipped” for such an expansion. Nine months later, Haggen went bankrupt, and Albertsons bought them, along with the dozens of the stores it promised to sell off, at 80% off, turning a massive profit on the scam:
https://www.economicliberties.us/our-work/courage-to-learn/
Now, Albertsons is playing Lucy-with-the-football, promising to sell off 100–375 stores as a condition of the Kroger merger. Only an idiot would trust this promise. Luckily, as Dayen writes, FTC Chair Lina Khan is no idiot. She’s turned antitrust into a “shooting war” by declaring that the age of rubber-stamped mergers is over:
https://mattstoller.substack.com/p/the-antitrust-shooting-war-has-started
Fittingly, that age began with manufactured outrage by the business lobby and its priesthood at the University of Chicago School of Economics over United States v. Von’s Grocery Co, where a 1966 grocery store merger was thwarted.
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/384/270/
Vons became the rallying cry of the pro-monopoly lobby and their cult of low-information voters, the “Beghazi” of its day. To hear them tell of it, the insistence that grocery consolidation was bad was a mere superstition, one that made life worse for everyone in service to an incoherent ideology.
But grocery mergers are bad. They produce monopolies who raise prices on the food we need to survive. Today’s “inflation” isn’t the result of sending out too much covid relief to ordinary people — it’s the result of monopolies:
https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/02/its-the-economy-stupid/#overinflated
And the lack of capacity:

Pour un appartement situé dans une tour historique de Chicago, le designer Steven Gambrel a travaillé avec l'architecte Phillip J. Liederbach pour composer des pièces à fort impact qui chantent avec des détails somptueux. Les murs du salon recouverts de plâtre vénitien vif servent de toile de fond à un grand tableau de Joe Overstreet dans l'immeuble Art déco Palmolive de Chicago. Le designer Steven Gambrel, qui a collaboré avec Liederbach & Graham Architects sur le projet, a installé des lustres de théâtre en laiton suédois du milieu du siècle au-dessus d'un coin salon composé d'un canapé sur mesure, de fauteuils vintage de style Dominique et d'une table à cocktail des années 1970 de Philip et Kelvin LaVerne d'un côté, et d'une paire de chaises Roman Thomas flanquant un tabouret T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings de l'autre côté. #Repost @galeriemagazine For an apartment in Chicago’s historic Art Deco Palmolive Building, designer @StevenGambrel collaborated with Phillip J.
