A Legendary Puerto Rican Chef Reemerges in Oakland — After 5 Years Behind Bars Borinquen Soul’s Eric Rivera is bringing the arroz con gandules back.

I was just happy to find out the chef from my all-time favorite Puerto Rican spot was cooking again, but I then I learned he's been on a whole JOURNEY—one involving Guy Fieri and a long stint in Santa Rita Jail. His story: www.kqed.org/arts/1397795...

One weird indignity of being a feminist in America is not just that a belief in women’s inferiority is part of the political mainstream, but that the violence of those who hold that belief is considered unremarkable.

The exhausted nation that found itself forced to side with Harvard is going to be fucking shattered if it has to rise up to defend Gavin Goddamn Newsom.

Black people don’t count as working class in the UK because, when they express concern for their health and safety due to racist policies, they are sneering and looking down on “the ordinary voter” - who is always white and simultaneously above them and beneath them in society.

A screenshot of the map, zoomed in to the Middle West, with Michigan in the upper right and northern Missouri in the lower left. I clicked on a random dot in central Indiana and a pop-up identified the dot as a municipal pool in Kokomo, Indiana.

You can find out more if you want by clicking on another button.

A headline that reads "Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change".

Four maps. 2015, 2017, which shoe substantial pollution, 2020 which shows it reduced a good deal, and 2024 which shows it reduced even more
