Again, he died doing what he loved: demonizing marginalized people

POV: you live in LA and say "For Your Consideration" when presenting your picky eater dog with his dinner.

The team whose dishes are judged most faithful to the AI, without tasting wretched, wins. Chefs on the losing team will be fitted for a prosthetic sixth finger that must be worn for the next challenge.

The newest twist to Top Chef Restaurant Wars: in lieu of menus, guests provide prompts that, along with an inventory of ingredients, are given to ChatGPT for both a recipe and a photo rendering of what the dish must look like.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children

Apple Turnover

I use the official Gmail app, which I consider the least shitty email app available on iOS. I try every release of Apple's stock Mail app, but it never sticks.

Surely, someone is working on an Irving B “Melon Head” tiki mug, right?

Her: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD. What does that even mean?

Me: *draws deep breath* Boyz II Men, together with Another Bad Creation and Bell Biv DeVoe, were members of the East Coast Family, who played a pivotal role in the New Jack Swing movement of the 1990s. In this essay, I will

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.

This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.

No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.
