Something’s cooking for Gail Simmons: a new baby!

The Canadian Top Chef judge and newly minted cookbook author is pregnant with her second child, her rep confirms to People exclusively.

Simmons and her husband, music executive Jeremy Abrams, are already parents to daughter Dahlia Rae, 4 this month.

“We are thrilled that a sibling is on the way for our daughter Dahlia Rae, who is almost 4,” Simmons tells People of her exciting news.

Simmons—author of Talking with My Mouth Full: My Life as a Professional Eater and a new cookbook, Bringing it Home: Favorite Recipes from a Life of Adventurous Eating—wed Abrams in 2008.

The couple welcomed Dahlia in December 2013, after not knowing whether they would be expecting a son or daughter for their first child.

“We’d like it to be a surprise,” Simmons, 41, told People of the baby’s sex ahead of her birth. “We have some of the nursery done, but we’re going to wait until [we find out] who this little nugget is.”

If the baby on the way is anything like their big sister, their taste buds will develop preferences pretty early in life. As Simmons explained to People in 2015, “[Dahlia’s] favorite things these days are mushrooms and olives.”

“‘Mama, olive?’” the star mimicked her daughter, adding that she also has an affinity for peaches. “She opens the fridge and stands there and tries to reach for the olive jar.”

Top Chef season 15 premieres Thursday at 10 p.m. EST / 9 p.m. CST on Bravo.

Between the fall of 1999 and April of 2000, hundreds of thousands of factory workers, peasants, retirees, students, professionals, and everyday people took to the streets in Cochabamba, Bolivia, to fight the privatization of their water. A foreign-led consortium of private corporations had taken control of the city’s water supply, increasing water prices by as much as 300 percent. With the skills and experience of organized movements such as the Federation of Factory Workers, working people were able to defeat a multibillion-dollar corporation around a shared interest: the right to water.

In the face of a well-organized global elite that has gutted the power of workplace organizing, Cochabamba shows us that organizing the working class around a common interest and moving beyond the confines of the workplace provides an opening to push for—and win—a future that centers people over profit.

The Geography of the Present

Capitalism began to take on a new form in the 1970s with the arrival of new technologies that facilitated the rapid transportation of goods and communication about the production process. Neoliberalism, a policy framework that enriches the wealthy (by cutting taxes) and that demeans workers (by cutting opportunities and access to social wages), came to define the global economy.

The world was now connected in a way that enabled global capitalists to break up the production process, making it even more difficult for organized masses of working people to halt the production process and garner real power over the ruling elite. Now that the manufacturing of parts of the production process was spread across the world, the shutdown of a factory that manufactures car engines in China could easily be offset by the production of car engines in Mexico or Taiwan.

Vijay Prashad, director of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, explains that “new technologies—such as satellite communications, computerization and container ships—provided firms with the ability to manage global, real-time databases and to move goods as fast as possible. Firms could break up factories and set them up in several countries at the same time—a process known as the disarticulation of production.” Advances in transportation further enabled this process so that “capital could move the parts of the commodity swiftly and relatively cheaply as well as shift commodities to markets with relative ease.”

This scenario is vastly different from the power generated—for example—by auto workers in Detroit in the mid-twentieth century, who were able to shut down the entire production process through strikes and slowdowns, and whose benefits and union contracts reflect the level of power they were able to exercise over their employers. Factories that were once the heart of the auto industry and the site of powerful worker organizing are now largely abandoned, their broken windows and crumbling walls a mirror of the changing landscape of production and the need for different strategies to organize around it.

The context for organizing today that faces working people across the world is one that must grapple with the challenges posed by a decentralized production process and a well-organized ruling class. We can see the current moment as a rupture of sorts—perhaps a way of understanding the global rise of fascism. Scapegoating in the form of xenophobia, racism, and religious fundamentalism—the well-worn tools of capitalism’s strategy to divide the working class—fills an ideological void and presents a solution to the anger stoked by the everyday realities of the working class who are faced with massive inequality and pauperization. It is to this anger that the left must respond; to provide an ideology that seeks to understand its origins and to shape cultural mechanisms and ideologies that allow us to imagine—and build—a different path forward.

So far it’s been the hottest summer ever recorded — June was the hottest June, and July was the hottest month ever. France, Germany, Britain, Belgium, and the Netherlands had their hottest days of all time, joining countries from Cuba to Vietnam and Togo to the Reunion Islands.

This is dangerous for two reasons.

One, it’s destroying the planet.

And two, it’s becoming so common that people may lose hope or tune out — the news can be almost as sapping as the heat. But that apathy would come at just the wrong moment. The price of renewable energy hit a record low last month, when a Portuguese power auction produced the cheapest electricity in history. Given the political will, we could quickly make huge strides in combatting climate change.

The climate crisis represents an assault on justice (those who have done the least to cause it suffer the most) but also an assault on the future, a future that some have a larger share in simply because they’ll be alive longer.

That’s why we should be grateful to some of the youngest activists on the planet, people who refuse to become inured to business as usual, who won’t give up. The most famous of them, Greta Thunberg, is on a sailboat for a journey to the United States, where she’ll address the UN’s climate summit in September. But she’s far from alone. Thanks to the organization Fridays for Future, you can find Greta equivalents from Peru to Pensacola to Prague, from Ulan Bator to the gates of the UN.

Thunberg began her “school strike for the climate’’ a year ago, arguing that if the world’s adults weren’t willing to prepare the planet for her generation, they were forfeiting their right to demand that her generation spend their youth preparing for their future. Kids across the planet saw the logic — the biggest days of action have seen 1.4 million students out of the classroom and on the streets.

It’s a shame the classic USA-Canada gold medal women’s hockey game had to end in a shootout, but at least Jocelyne Lamoureux’s game-winning goal was a beauty. 

The shootout was tied after five rounds so each team got to choose any shooter to send out next. Lamoureux got the the nod and proceeded to shake Canadian goalie Shannon Szabados almost out of her skates with a truly incredible deke.

Down on the other end of the ice, 20-year-old American goaltender Maddie Rooney stopped Meghan Agosta and the gold was America’s. 

It was the Americans’ first gold medal in hockey since 1998, the first year women’s hockey was featured in the Olympics. 

The island nation of Fiji on Wednesday slammed world powers for their “grossly irresponsible and selfish” failure to act on the planetary emergency and unveiled a bold plan to bring the country’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.

Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum, Fiji’s economy and climate change minister, said in a speech to parliament Wednesday morning that the fight against the climate crisis is “a fight for our lives and our livelihoods.”

“As the impacts of climate change accelerate and attempts are made to weaken global ambitions,” said Sayed-Khaiyum, “we must listen more than ever to the scientists, not the climate deniers or those motivated by self-interest or political interests.”

Sayed-Khaiyum continued:

Here in the vast Pacific sits our beloved Fiji. Small and increasingly vulnerable as we scan the horizon anxiously year by year for the kind of extreme weather event that three years ago, took the lives of 44 of our loved ones and inflicted damage equal to one-third of our GDP.

That is the grave situation in which we find ourselves through no fault of our own and why this government puts such a strong emphasis on the climate issue.

The Guardian described Fiji’s plan as “one of the world’s most ambitious legislative programs to tackle the climate crisis.”

“We could not be more excited to give Mila Kunis our Woman of the Year award! We have been watching her on both the big and small screen since we were young and can’t wait to celebrate her achievements in a truly unique and memorable way,” Hasty Pudding theatricals co-producer Annie McCreery said in a statement.

To accept the honor, Kunis will lead a parade through Cambridge, Mass. on Jan. 25 before she takes the seat of the house in a public celebratory roast. After she survives the ridicule, Kunis will receive the honor at Farkas Hall in the heart of Harvard Square at 4 p.m. Following the presentation, Kunis will host a press conference that will be live-streamed on social media.

Congratulations, Mila!
