end talk – i’m so bored with the USA

Read the latest issue of end talk now: I’M SO BORED WITH THE USA. It is full!

“This issue of END TALK loosely embodies the spirit of the frontier, our collective ceiling, and the deep challenge of escaping history. We include another roundup of the current climate situation, an essay by Ben on the attempt to create a European Super League, a partial reprint of Will’s essay on fascism, a shout-out to a couple non-controversial Substacks, and several music and reading recommendations, including a recent interview w/ Arundhati Roy & a new music video from our friend Anguid.”

Buttermilk “Biscones” with Chocolate Chunks

This recipe is adapted from The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook. They are called biscones (bis-cones) because they are part biscuit, part scone! Perfect combination.

I made this recipe more than once recently, and what follows includes the improvements I made on my technique for my final batch. And, I used DIY methods to substitute buttermilk and cake flour, so you can probably make this with what you have at home. (Recipe uses dairy butter and milk.)
