another superb type of hot dog are steamies, Montreal style

Yes, people sometimes put sriracha and jalapenos on them, but that's supplemental. I hate the Chicago style hot dog mentality where they're very particular about toppings. I'm not following your shitty rules and I hate tomato so guess I'll never have one. It's a sandwich with all that crap on it

Seattle dogs are one of the best hot dog styles because it's really simple. Grilled onions and cream cheese. Anything else is your business. People who try to tell you "nooo, you need to put sriracha on it" is talking out of their ass, and erroenously under the impression that "rules" make a hot dog

This isn't to defend Biden, but to show how much Trump's actions are irreversible. Assume Democrats wanted to reverse it and a dem president tried to. Of course, they don't want to, and won't try. But if they did, the US's credibility is virtually entirely gone. Everyone expects a Trump in 4 years

after Trump backed out of the JCPOA, Iran decided they'd never deal with the US again unless they lifted all sanctions. This was obviously a bridge too far for the centrist neoliberal consensus. 1/2

Being ugly isn't such a bad thing. Maybe if you're majorly ugly it is. But as a moderately ugly person, things haven't been so bad for me

sometimes I look at pictures of deep sea creatures that look weird and make myself feel scared

anti-Marxist "intellectuals" will say with a straight face stuff like: "Marx failed to consider that if the value of a coat is double that of 10 yards of linen, 20 yards of linen must have the same value as one coat."

I rented this game as a kid expecting it to be like 3D Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG and was severely disappointed

So many interesting areas that look like potential filming locations for like a fantasy movie - all of these are within a mile from each other, in that weird area where Kent, Seatac and Tukwila all meet

I know some Mariners fans have embarrassing perspectives on the Mariners FO, but I feel confident most of them wouldn't be gargling the FO (still, to this day) after spitefully salary dumping a player like Devers

Red Sox:
- overpays for free agent in same position as their star player
- keeps changing star player's position
- salary dumps star player for a bag of balls
- overpaid free agent leaves after a year
- front office trash talks their former star player
- fans are on the front office's side.. still!

good afternoon

They're always ~yImBy~ urbanists. Cities to them are like Funko pops. They seem completely detached from any cultural touchstones and see cities as assemblages of facts and traits. They're incurious and objectify the residents of a city to play their little urban letterboxd game

one of the most repulsive genres of people on social media to me is the people who evaluate, and characterize cities, like they got a sample platter at a fancy restaurant. They see cities like play-things and 'review' them like people review media

the liberal pundit "conspiracy theory debunker" archetype of the past ten years seems increasingly passe, considering we saw 2% of the Epstein files, and it was more horrific than even people who followed Epstein for years could imagine

you ever go back and watch cartoons you liked as a little kid and a lot of them are more boring than you remember? that's because you were playing with toys half the time you were watching

sorry if you disagree but I 100% think Epstein and his associates were eating human flesh

(Assuming the current administration doesn't self-coup and cancel the election)

So much lame discourse being made about the 2028 (lol) Presidential election. But all it comes down to is the candidate who promises to punish Epstein collaborators most will win the primary. And they'll only lose the election if they don't promise to punish Epstein collaborators enough

whenever I, against my will, learn about streamer drama, it is always the most contrived, fake controversy I've ever heard. I'd imagine / make up my own entertainment too, if my idea of fun was watching people play video games and talk into a webcam for hours

the first time I tried a shrimp tank, I didn't succeed :( they sadly slowly died off before successfully establishing a colony. But now I'm moved and have more room, and am now ready to get more of these cute little beings

I love cherry shrimp so much

before you feel endeared by this, remember this email was just released to the public a week ago

Which castle are you living in? Personally I gotta choose the Maya pyramid

I'm ready to secede, I feel sick when east coasters talk out of their ass about the PNW. They never have any idea what they're talking about. I don't want to be American and Americans shouldn't be entitled to talk about us from a place of authority. Everyday I understand the Quebecois better

This convo between Epstein and Hollywood producer Barry Josephson is particularly disturbing. On top of the creepy messages about a minor, there's this: "I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"

Hollywood producer Barry Josephson to Jeffrey Epstein:

“I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates 'how do we get rid of poor people as a whole'"

I got a laugh out of the idea that the main audience of a nationally broadcasted show on TBS is leftists who use bluesky lol

Idk why this is one of the side effect's of Elon Musk's twitter, but half the time I glance at the "for you" page, it's filled with people arguing about their competing neuroses related to food. Almost like people arguing what specific strain of eating disorders is best
