Remember Concorde? The era of flying faster than the speed of sound might actually be coming back. New supersonic aircraft are being developed to cut long-haul flight times dramatically, while new technology aims to make the infamous sonic boom much quieter. In June 2026, the FAA also proposed new noise standards that could help enable civil supersonic flights over the U.S. again. Could we really be flying across the world at Mach 1.7 again? #Supersonic #Concorde #Aviation #FutureTech #Airplanes #Travel #ScienceTok #Technology #DidYouKnow #GenZ Learn more about your ad choices.

NASA's experimental X-59 airplane went supersonic for the first time on June 5, 2026. What's next for the mission that aims to reopen the skies to quiet commercial supersonic flight?

Ivy Supersonic - Jeans and JusticeIvy Supersonic  is a New York City fashion designer, self-promoter, event planner, and animated character designer. She is the daughter of Jerome Silberstein, founder of Silberstein, Awad & Miklos.She also paints under her birth name.As her hat made headlines across the globe, Supersonic was diligently crafting the idea for which she thought she'd be remembered: an animated half-squirrel, half-rat character called Sqrat.If that name brings back memories of the lovable, acorn-obsessed rodent from the "Ice Age" franchise, you're not alone. One key difference: In the movies, it's spelled "Scrat," with a C.Supersonic knows all about that Scrat. She's spent more than 20 years trying to prove the makers of the "Ice Age" movies stole the idea for the character from her.Since the early 2000s, Supersonic, 54, has battled in court and held attention-grabbing protests to prove she came up with one of the most recognizable animated characters of the past two decades. In 2020, it appeared she'd finally won when the studio behind "Ice Age" dropped its challenge to the trademark for "Sqrat" with a Q — which meant she had the exclusive right to sell merchandise with the Sqrat branding.Now, Disney+ is set to release "Ice Age: Scrat Tales," a series starring the character — but Supersonic said she wasn't seeing a dime of the profits. She's heading back to court once again to fight for her dream.She tells Ed Opperman about her experiences, good and bad in fashion. From design theft and blacklisting to celebrity endorsements and setting trends.Website ScratBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

They Changed 90s Music Forever: Oasis, Nirvana, Snoop Dogg & The Untold Stories….This week, I'm opening The New Mind Podcast archive & bringing back two extraordinary conversations with two men who witnessed music history being made from completely different sides of the industry.These interviews were originally released when The New Mind Podcast was much smaller. Since then, the audience has grown enormously, so many of you will never have heard them.They're simply too good to stay buried in the archive!!So this episode features former Island Records Managing Director Marc Marot & legendary broadcaster & presenter of Channel 4's The Word, Terry Christian.Marc Marot spent his career at the heart of the international music business. He began at Blue Mountain Music, associated with the catalogues of Bob Marley & U2, before becoming the youngest Managing Director of Island Records at just 29.His career put him alongside some of the most important artists & movements in modern music, with Island during his tenure associated with artists including Ice Cube, NWA, Pulp, The Cranberries, Tricky, Stereo MC's, P.M. Dawn, Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, PJ Harvey & many moreMarc takes us behind the curtain of the record industry, sharing what happens when extraordinary talent, enormous personalities, money, ambition, creativity, pressure & fame collide.Then there's Terry Christian….For millions who grew up in Britain during the 1990s, Terry was the unmistakable face of Channel 4's The Word, one of the most controversial, anarchic & culturally significant youth television programmes of its generation.Long before YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Spotify could launch an artist overnight, television could change a career.The Word became a platform for artists who would go on to dominate global music, including Nirvana, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Jamiroquai & Oasis, whose appearance performing Supersonic became their first television performance.Terry takes us back inside that extraordinary period of British culture & talks about music, television, fame, class, controversy, celebrity & what was really happening behind the scenes.One man was helping shape music from inside one of the world's most influential record labels.The other was helping put a new generation of artists in front of millions of people.Together, their stories offer a remarkable window into an era before algorithms, influencers & social media, when record labels, television, radio, magazines & a handful of cultural gatekeepers could help determine what the world heard next.If you love 90s music, Britpop, Oasis, U2, Nirvana, hip hop, music documentaries, music industry stories, Channel 4's The Word or hearing what really happens behind fame, this episode is for you.Subscribe for conversations exploring psychology, culture, human behaviour, trauma, success, celebrity & the extraordinary stories behind extraordinary people.

A former Groupon product manager set out to bring back supersonic passenger flight. Everyone told him it was a bad idea. He couldn't find a single reason they were right.Blake Scholl is the founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, the company that built the first civil supersonic jet outside of a government or military, and then made the sonic boom disappear entirely.He joins Jessica Neal and co-host Peter Clarke on Truth Works for an honest conversation about audacious goals, telling the truth inside a company, and the leadership lessons he learned the hard way.Blake did not have the aerospace resume for this. He started his career at Amazon, spent years in startups, and was running internet coupons at Groupon when he decided to teach himself aerospace from textbooks and build a spreadsheet that said the whole world should be flying supersonic. A decade later, his airplane broke the sound barrier.In this episode he breaks down why supersonic flight really disappeared (hint: it was not the noise), how he rebuilt Boom's culture after hiring the wrong senior people, and why he now says he has learned to "love the riff."TOPICS COVERED→ Organizing every idea by how happy you'd be if it worked→ Choosing passion over resume, and why skills are more changeable than what you love→ The real reason supersonic flight was banned in 1973→ Solving the sonic boom by accident, and going from breaking the sound barrier to a repeal of the ban in 115 days→ Using supersonic technology to power AI data centers and bootstrap the company→ The "talent distillery": how Boom grows its own senior leaders→ Why he fired every direct report in one day, and what happened to morale→ Learning to "love the riff" and saying goodbye without making it personal→ The first-flight story and the safety rule: "I might say f**k, but I won't say f**k you"→ Velocity over predictability, and why padding your timeline makes you later→ Designing for tranquility, and the small details airlines ignore→ The birthday his board told him to shut the company downWhether you are building something people call impossible, leading a team through a hard call, or just trying to tell the truth at work, this one will stay with you.New episodes of Truth Works every week.

This week, Mitch welcomes The Professor back to the porch to ask a simple question: Why did commercial aviation stop getting faster?From the rise and fall of Concorde to the new Boom Supersonic's attempt to cut flight times in half, we explore whether technology, economics, or regulation has been holding us back. Innovation versus optimization, the role of capitalism in bringing breakthrough ideas to everyday people, and why history is so often written by those willing to risk building what everyone else believes is impossible.It starts with airplanes. It ends with a much bigger question: Have we stopped dreaming big enough?Mitch Wonders is where Texas porch talk meets life's big questions. Each episode, Mitch — a cranky but curious Texan — takes a plainspoken look at today's world with humor, humility, and a shot of wisdom you can actually swallow.Catch up on all episodes, see recent guests, YouTube clips, BBQ and whiskey reviews, subscribe, and visit the Mitch Merch Store at ⁠https://mitchwonders.com/⁠Got feedback?

This week is one giant lesson in consolidation: everybody's buying everybody, the money is concentrating, the ownership is concentrating, and the people are getting cut. Tripledot bought Supersonic from Unity, Saudi Arabia closed the biggest leveraged buyout in history to take EA private, and Netflix gutted a studio seven weeks after praising its game on an earnings call.Matej Lančarič flies solo for the weekly news. Tripledot acquired Supersonic from Unity for $40M cash — a striking number given Supersonic likely did ~$40-45M in revenue over the last 12 months (per Sensor Tower plus ad revenue), and given ironSource paid $150M for it 11 years ago and Unity got it inside the $4.4B ironSource merger in 2022. It's the final piece of ironSource leaving the building — and the second time Tripledot has done this, after buying AppLovin's entire games business for $800M a year ago. The pattern is now complete: both AppLovin and Unity have exited game publishing to become pure ad-tech companies (ad networks make ads, publishers make games). That sale landed alongside Unity's best quarter ever (revenue $546M, up 24%, Grow segment up 35% to $389M on Vector AI, approaching GAAP profitability). Saudi Arabia's PIF closed its $55B take-private of EA (now delisted, ~93% PIF-owned with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners) — the largest LBO in history, with ~$20B in debt that will push EA hard toward recurring mobile and live-service revenue, plus a Vision 2030 soft-power dimension via EA Sports FC. Netflix's FIFA World Cup studio Refactor laid off 85% of staff seven weeks after Netflix named the game one of its most successful cloud debuts — the same praise-then-kill pattern as Squid Game Unleashed. And AppLovin posted a "miss that isn't a miss" (revenue up 53% to ~$1.92B, just under consensus).The through-line: the ad networks make ads now, the publishers make games, and the ownership of the whole industry is concentrating like never before.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 A week of pure consolidation — everybody's buying everybody01:40 Tripledot buys Supersonic for $40M — the ironSource endgame05:30 The pattern: ad networks exit publishing06:40 Unity's best quarter ever — the Vector AI turnaround09:30 Saudi Arabia takes EA private for $55B13:00 The Netflix FIFA disaster — praised, then gutted17:30 AppLovin's Q2 — the miss that isn't a miss---------------------------------------This is no BS gaming podcast 2.5 gamers session.

On today's episode of TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast, we welcome back Jonathan Wild, founder of Wild Arms Research and Development, to talk about his newest venture: Wild Arms Solutions. Johnny built his name on meticulously researched DIY launcher builds and the companion books that came with them — now he's taking that expertise into military contract work, developing drone-threat countermeasures through the new outfit. We dig into how that opportunity came about, what skills transfer from replica weapons research to active defense programs, and what he's able to tell us about where counter-drone technology is headed.

What to expect at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026 and an interview with the Manager of Onsite Learning at the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum. Also, how L3Harris converted the Qatari-gifted 747 into Air Force One, the Cirrus TRAC10, window seat lawsuits, a rule change to allow supersonic flight over the United States, and an update on Boom Supersonic's strategy for its self-developed Symphony engine. Image by Linda and Lily. Guest Dick Knapinski is Director of Communications for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). He has served in that capacity since 2010 and has been with the organization since 1992. Dick serves as the liaison between the media and EAA throughout the year, particularly during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, the world’s largest fly-in convention. The event runs July 20-26, 2026. Dick Knapinski Boeing Plaza will be packed with aircraft to celebrate the aviation technology theme. Currently planned innovation displays for July 21 include BETA Technologies, Bye Aerospace, Jetson, American Drone, MagniX, Zipline, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Airhart Aeronautics, Merlin Labs, Amazon Delivery, and Starlight Productions. In addition to the displays on Boeing Plaza, Bye Aerospace, Jetson, BETA Technologies, American Drone, and ScaleWings plan to fly during the afternoon air show. Drone delivery company Wing will display the latest developments in its operations at Twilight Flight Fest. Learn more about the AirVenture Airshows and performers, Aircraft Anniversaries & Gatherings, Authors Corner, AviationTech, KidVenture, and the Fly-In Theater. Rare warbird static/flying displays will include the B-29 “Doc,” as well as a rare Consolidated PB4Y and the CAF’s B-24 Liberator on static display at Boeing Plaza. Vicky Benzing will fly her P-51 “Plum Crazy,” and Bernie Vasquez will demo a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt in afternoon shows. The Aviation Gateway Park will spotlight helicopters, advanced vertical lift platforms, and eVTOL aircraft through static displays and interactive exhibits. Before joining EAA, Dick built a broadcasting career in Wisconsin, including stints as Program Director at WNBI Radio, News Director at WMGV Radio, and Station Manager at WLFM-FM/Wisconsin Public Radio. He also spent years as a sportswriter for the Appleton Post-Crescent. Dick holds a private pilot certificate and remains active as a writer and spokesperson for EAA. Aviation News How was the new Air Force One prepared for flight? The two permanent VC-25 replacements were selected in 2015, and the $3.9 billion fixed-price contract was signed in February 2018. Boeing began physical refurbishment work in February 2020 on two 747-8I airframes originally built for the bankrupt Russian carrier Transaero. Boeing has already reported $2.5 billion in losses on the program. The current delivery target for the first jet is between 2027 and 2028, with the second jet to follow later. The ex-Qatari 747-8 “bridge” aircraft was gifted to the U.S. Air Force in May 2025 and entered service on July 1, 2026. L3Harris did the conversion in about 10 months. The quick conversion was accomplished due to several factors: Pre-staged employees operated on a 24/7, three-shift structure. (Boeing has worked a normal single-shift industrial pace, with no incentive to surge, staff once costs started ballooning.) The bridge aircraft came with a luxury interior. (Boeing's jets had incomplete interiors – basically shells.) Missing VC-25 elements. Reports (unconfirmed by the government) include no evidence of defensive countermeasures and a lack of EMP hardening. L3Harris didn’t out-engineer Boeing. They ran a 24/7 surge crew on a plane that already had a finished VIP interior, targeted a much narrower requirement (“executive airlift” vs. full presidential command-post survivability), and the government has not been forthcoming about which hardened-aircraft features (EMP shielding, missile countermeasures, full secure comms suite) were omitted. See also: Trump wants the $400M Qatari-gifted new Air Force One to be the centerpiece of his presidential library. But there's a problem. Cirrus launches TRAC10, a new light aircraft for the flight training market Purpose-designed for flight schools and to be powered by a turbocharged Rotax 916 iSc FADEC engine, the plane has a three-seat interior, a Garmin flight deck, and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System. Cirrus says they have 100 orders from 13 flight schools. United Airlines must face lawsuit over ‘window seats’ that lack windows Not every “window seat” has a window. Sometimes it has a wall. That's just the way it is. But last August, some passengers filed class actions ⁠against United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, claiming that the carriers failed to properly disclose the lack of a window during the booking process. United claimed that “window seat” described the seat’s location and did not contractually promise that the seat would, in fact, have a window. In San Francisco, U.S. District Judge James Donato rejected the airlines' request to dismiss the suit. New Rule Clears Way for Quiet Supersonic Flights By way of history: The FAA issued 14 CFR § 91.817 in April 1973, prohibiting civil aircraft from flying at speeds exceeding Mach 1 over land in the United States. The ban came as a result of early Air Force and NASA-controlled boom tests over cities, concerns over the Boeing 2707 SST program, and the impending arrival of the Concorde. NASA’s X-59 QueSST is flying specifically to gather community-response data on its “quiet boom” design.  In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Proposed rule: Enabling Supersonic Overland Flight), the FAA is looking to replace the blanket Mach-1 ban with a noise-based standard. Supersonic flight over land would be permitted if the boom signature falls under a certain loudness threshold. The NPRM states, “Manufacturers have demonstrated it is possible to fly supersonic aircraft without sonic booms reaching the surface by using sonic boom abatement techniques, making complete prohibition on civil supersonic flight outside of test areas no longer appropriate and an unnecessary restraint on the growth of the U.S. aviation sector.” The NPRM shifts the regulatory trigger from speed to noise. Right now, § 91.817 just bans anything faster than Mach 1 over land. The proposed rule keeps that structure but adds an exception: an operator may exceed Mach 1 if it can demonstrate that the sonic boom’s overpressure at the surface does not exceed 0.11 pounds per square foot (psf). This NPRM only covers en-route/overland boom noise. A separate rule on takeoff/landing noise is expected later this year, with both rules targeted for finalization by mid-2027. The comment period ends August 17, 2026, at 11:59 PM EDT. Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update https://youtu.be/gtf0-bVSbeA?is=GmG8VhICNm4wg7tP The FAA proposal to change from speed regulation to noise regulation is something Boom Supersonic and others have been seeking. In the Boom Supersonic Q2 2026 Update video, Blake Scholl reveals Boom's strategy for the Symphony engine. The company intends to market a variant of the engine for behind-the-meter power generation that AI companies can utilize for power. In large part, the engine OEMs wouldn’t develop an engine for the Overture because the huge development cost couldn’t be covered by the expected engine volume. So when Boom announced it was developing its own engine, the business case was unclear. But by focusing on the ground power generation market, Boom can spread development costs over a greater number of engines. Also, that revenue stream would generate cash flow for the Overture program. National Air and Space Museum Celebrates 50 Years With Opening of Five New Galleries Hillel attended the Smithsonian's National Air & Space Museum media preview of the opening of the five galleries. Last episode, we listened to two recordings from that event. This week Hillel speaks with Mike Hulslander, the museum's Manager of Onsite Learning. Mike has worked in museums and zoos for more than 28 years and has researched, written, presented, and evaluated science programs for school groups, families, and the general public. At the Air and Space Museum, he is responsible for science-focused programs and exhibitions. Mike also manages the Museum's learning centers: How Things Fly and the Design Hangar. Mike is also an adjunct faculty member at the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education. He serves as a science educator on the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program national review panel for experiment selection and has participated in reviews for the past 11 missions aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.

You have fondled around and clicked on what would effectively serve as my newest installment, Supersonic Subwoofer. Mostly hip hop starting with NAS and ODB with examples from Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Kanye, Drake, Future and my current favorite Jay Electronica. Sittin Sideways by Paul Wall sounds particularly fantastic with the subwoofer, as well as the majority of that Drake and Future run. I hope a long time listener out there can tell the difference. It makes all the difference in the world inside this room. I'm sure it changed things for my neighbors as well. Who am I kidding they're probably sitting down right now to write a thank you letter. "Thank you, Witwicka Juan Don for blasting nothing but the illest of jams of late, to a volume of distorted proportions without the slightest remorse. Please continue to do so, in particular the Jai Paul slowed and throwed bits. My mother really enjoys them." Something like that. Thank you, as always for being here. Shouts to the absolute bros in Singapore and my brethren in Frankfurt. Until next time.. I remainYour Host with the Most,Witwickatron

Business aviation has spent decades climbing the same performance ladder: more range, more speed, larger cabins, better engines, better avionics, and more capable aircraft. That evolution created the modern business jet market and pushed the high end into a category that would have been difficult to imagine when the first purpose-built business aircraft entered service. But the next era may not be defined by simply building a bigger airplane. With aircraft like the G800, Global 8000, and Falcon 10X, the upper end of the market is already approaching the practical limits of range, cabin size, and price. Supersonic business aviation remains difficult. New air vehicle concepts may be promising, but business aviation has historically prioritized performance, reliability, and mission utility over radical experimentation. That raises a more important question for business aviation leaders: where does meaningful differentiation come from next? In this episode, I continue the conversation with Kevin Michaels and Richard Aboulafia of AeroDynamic Advisory about Time Machines: Business Aviation's Dynamic Journey. This second part looks at the future of the market: why the high end keeps marching upward, why the medium-cabin segment may need a new catalyst, how post-COVID usage patterns are changing ownership and operating models, and why the aircraft may increasingly be judged by what it enables onboard. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why the ultra-long-range business jet market has continued to expand, even when many people once doubted there would be room for multiple players at the high end. How the G800, Global 8000, and Falcon 10X reflect the continued march toward larger, more capable, and more expensive business aircraft. Why business aviation may be approaching a point where range, speed, and cabin size are no longer enough to create meaningful differentiation. How onboard connectivity, virtual workspaces, interiors, avionics, and human-machine interface may become more important to the next era of business aircraft. Why radically new air vehicle concepts may be harder to justify in a market that has historically prioritized performance and mission utility over fuel-efficiency-led experimentation. What the continued rise of ultra-high-net-worth demand reveals about the top end of the business aviation market. Why the medium-cabin and “workaday” jet market may need a new catalyst as the high end keeps pulling away. How business aviation usage has changed since COVID, including the shift away from traditional ownership and toward fractional, managed aircraft, and Part 135 models. Why “business aviation as a service” may become a more important way to understand the market's next phase. What leaders should watch as aircraft performance, ownership models, customer expectations, and onboard experience begin to define the next chapter of business aviation.   About the Guests Richard Aboulafia is a Managing Director at AeroDynamic Advisory, a boutique aerospace and defense management consultancy based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Après une série consacrée aux races anciennes et une deuxième aux animaux de la basse-cour, l'excellent naturaliste et éleveur-documentariste Rémi Dupouy (co-auteur avec Yann Arthus-Bertrand de Vivant en 2022, entre-autres) est de retour pour 6 nouveaux épisodes dédiés à l'un de ses animaux fétiches : l'Ours brun. Originaire de Gascogne, Rémi connaît particulièrement bien cet "autre de l'Homme", aujourd'hui présent en France exclusivement dans les Pyrénées. Cette série est l'occasion pour lui de nous faire (re)découvrir cet animal qui fascine autant qu'il inquiète, et ce depuis des millénaires...Dans ce premier épisode, impensable de ne pas présenter toute la famille des Ursidés, le nom scientifique, vous l'aurez compris, des 8 espèces de nounours actuelles. Les Ours sont répartis sur tous les continents à l'exception de l'Océanie et de l'Antarctique, et ont colonisé toutes sortes de milieux, de la banquise arctique aux déserts moyen-orientaux en passant par la jungle indienne. Ils ont également une immense diversité de taille et de forme :L'Ours brun (Ursus arctos) est présent en Eurasie et en Amérique du Nord. avec une douzaine de sous-espèces (dont le Grizzly). Parmi les poids-lourds,  l'Ours Kodiak (jusqu'à 1 tonne !).L'Ours noir (Ursus americanus) a presque disparu de la plupart des États-Unis et du Mexique. Il se maintient au Canada et en Alaska, où sa population est même en hausse. Il vit principalement dans les forêts tempérées et boréales,L'Ours polaire (Ursus maritimus) ou Ours blanc, vit en Arctique, qui porte son nom (arktos = ours en grec). Sa fourrure est translucide et creuse, pleine d'air, ce qui constitue un excellent isolant. C'est l'un des plus gros ours (record : 800 kg) . Il mange surtout des phoques.Le Panda géant (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) vit dans les forêts tempérées des montagnes de Chine, et se nourrit surtout de bambou. L'Ours malais ou Ours des cocotiers (Helarctos malayanus), vit en Asie du Sud-Est. Ce sont les poids-plumes de la famille : moins de 50 kg. Leur fourrure est noire et rase, adaptée au climat chaud.L'Ours lippu, Ours à miel, ou Ours paresseux (Melursus ursinus) vit en Inde, au Sri Lanka et au Népal. Sa longue fourrure est noire et pelucheuse. Ses oreilles sont en forme de plumeau. Il a une tache blanche en forme de « V » sur la poitrine. Il est insectivore et frugivore.L'Ours à lunettes (Tremarctos ornatus) est endémique des Andes tropicales. Principale caractéristique : les taches blanches autour de ses yeux, d'où son nom.L'Ours noir d'Asie ou Ours à collier ou Ours du Tibet (Ursus thibetanus) vit de l'Iran au Japon. Ils ont une petite tache blanche en croissant sur la poitrine et donnent l'impression d'avoir une crinière.___SOURCES :Vignette : Les 8 espèces actuelles d'Ursidés.

Mike Rowe sits down with Blake Scholl, the former Amazon software engineer turned aerospace entrepreneur who walked away from Silicon Valley to revive supersonic passenger travel. As the founder of Boom Supersonic, Blake explains the century-long pursuit of faster flight. From the Cold War race to break the sound barrier to the rise—and fall—of the Concorde, Blake explains why supersonic travel disappeared just as it seemed destined to change aviation forever. He also shares how Boom Supersonic is working to make high-speed passenger flight practical again, and what it will take to shrink a 12-hour flight into just a few hours. Along the way, Mike and Blake discuss innovation, risk, engineering breakthroughs, and why some people refuse to accept that getting somewhere faster is a problem already solved.

The way we walk through the world matters. Far too often, we move through our days feeling unworthy of taking up space. We feel the need to apologize for our presence rather than stepping into the brilliance that our souls yearn to express. So how to we connect with something deeper? We must choose to tap into our divine presence; the force that knows the true value of our souls. When we walk in this light, we lead with power and presence beyond measure. As we listen to the raindrops fall, reflect on the ways that you move through life. Are you ready to walk tall? No apologies. What am I reading?The Astral Library by Kate Quinnhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780063244788Cheese Magic by Erika Kubick, illustrated by Devon Forsthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780762489633https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat is playing on repeat?Supersonic by OasisWhat is for dinner?Savory Oats BowlIngredients: OatsCheddar cheeseNutritional yeastOlive oil  Fried eggsSweet potatoesBrussels sprouts or spinach AvocadoPickled onionsFresh dillCrunchy chili oil Salt & pepper Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
