This from the article is one of the most disgusting food descriptions I’ve ever read. Who would want to eat this?

At last, a chance to repost my favourite ever font-related controversy with alt-text, now that Calibri is back in the news.

They’re not the most recent winner, so they wouldn’t be doing that anyway.

new Pluribus episode is intense, holy shit

for the record the consensus from the group chat was “that sounds good as hell”

From Wikipedia: The Labor Inducer is a hamburger created at The Suburban restaurant in Excelsior, Minnesota, United States. It is notable for a large number of pregnant women claiming to have gone into labor soon after eating it. The burger, consisting of an Angus beef patty, American cheese, honey-cured bacon, peach-caramelized onions, spicy Bavarian mustard, and Cajun rémoulade, all served in a toasted pretzel bun, was first conceived at The Suburban in April 2019 as an entry to a local burger competition. According to the restaurant's co-owner, Kelsey Quarberg, while taste-testing potential entries as sliders while 38 weeks pregnant, she liked what would become the Labor Inducer so much that she ate a full-sized version of it and then gave birth six hours later.

*trying to explain obstetrics to an american* okay so imagine a burger

this is just embarrassing at this point

We inscribed the base of the most iconic symbol of America with “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,”

The future of America depends on how willing we are to live up to that ideal. Lady Liberty lifts her lamp beside the golden door. Will we throw it open?

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Maybe it’s just that the need for affirmative consent to harm a living thing (re: stem cells) extends to all life, not just humans, and it’s just that humans are the only species capable of consenting

What about lab grown meat? Not meaningfully alive and does not require anything to be harmed aside from the collection of the initial tissue

(Because in that case, what meaningfully separates that from tumor resection?)

If an animal is raised on a farm with love and care and the best possible conditions and then dies naturally of old age, is it then edible?

new Pluribus episode has me trying to solve the starvation problem. Plucking an apple is a no-go because it would harm the apple tree, but what about an apple species where the tree dies if the apples aren’t picked, and they don’t fall off naturally? Would picking the apples still be considered harm

a lovely obituary but this in particular really got me

God I hate the holiday season. This is the most depressed I’ve been in a long time.

leaf blowers maybe the single worst machine in common use today?

Thinking quickly, Dave constructs a homemade megaphone, using only some string, a squirrel, and a megaphone.

why is the cupid shuffle playing in this trader joes

Hoping for another Dargen D’Amico banger. Onda Alta was one of my favorite songs of 2024.

These Zika mothers went to battle — and their cry was heard After the Zika outbreak ended in Brazil, many families faced a new reality: a child whose life was irrevocably altered after the mother contracted the virus while pregnant. Here's what happened next.

I feel lucky as someone in the DC area who didn’t lose my job and has had things be more or less stable, but the level of stress and anxiety that has pervaded much of this year? Not great, honestly.

a left field choice but I support it

A Babson College student wanted to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. She was deported instead. - The Boston Globe Any Lucia Lopez Belloza was at Logan to catch a flight to Texas when immigration authorities detained her as she was about to board the plane.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Oh this is bad

God I’m just having a brutal learnedleague season. I don’t know if it’s the holidays or if I’ve gotten dumber but I’m doing way worse than normal.

how long before there’s a drag queen in dc with this name

I genuinely do not understand the fanaticism. The chicken is well-fried but under seasoned, the fries are generic frozen crinkle-cut, and the sauce is on the weaker end of the thousand-island spectrum. It’s fine, but it’s stadium food at best.

Pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, and pecan pie are all bad. Apple pie is good a la mode but also heavily depends on the recipe used. Custard/curd pies clear everything else though, and it’s not close.
