all these AI commercials look like shit, who is compelled by this

my brain is soup, how are we expected to know so many things

But Brandon if we do that then the real estate developers can’t get even wealthier!!! how dare you

guess who’s back and ranting about Dallas restaurants?? it’s me, the hater of overpriced mediocrity

There are dozens of restaurants in the Dallas suburbs, often owned by immigrants, that offer better food at a fraction of the cost

thanks, Andrew!!

the only thing that could heal me right now is gutturally screaming directly into the face of an elected official

lol nothing like seeing an actual union buster share their ""support"" for today's strike

easy to support when it costs you $0.00 i suppose

Boycotts are necessary! Big protests are necessary! Economic blackouts are necessary! Workers calling out sick or taking time off to support these causes is necessary! Mutual aid is BEYOND necessary! But they are not strikes.

so proud of what y’all have built 🌺

Oh come on, all the legacy food media will be dead long before then at this rate

It’s embarrassing!!!

I shouldn’t have to clarify this but since people want to deliberately misunderstand me in my mentions: I am talking here about national food centric outlets, not local journalists who are doing remarkable work.

This story deserves national coverage.

Many independent journalists have been! Legacy food media though …. 🦗 🦗 🦗

but also if someone wants to pay me to talk to Mainers and Minnesotans, my DMs are open. I have a ton of experience in reporting on food activism!!

lol I was told so many times that stories about SNAP “don’t move the needle”

also to be clear I would pitch this story if I thought I was qualified to write it, but I want to hear from Minnesotans and Mainers and the people on the ground!!!

food media has always kinda catered to the “let them eat cake” crowd but that feels especially obvious in this moment

Kinda crazy to me that food media has essentially ignored the incredible work that protesters are doing to feed their neighbors in Minnesota, Maine, and beyond

There is no bigger story in food right now than this but yes of course let’s talk about Noma some fucking more

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

This Dublin-Style Spice Bag Uses Frozen Nuggets—but Still Nails the Tingly Heat In this beloved Dublin takeout dinner, crunchy chicken, fluffy chips, and a numbing, spicy coating—plus curry sauce for dipping.

I developed a recipe for the famed Irish spice bag, a dish created by takeaway workers as a staff meal that is so much more than the sum of its parts, for @serious-eats.bsky.social. It’s tingly, spicy, and savory, and you should make it immediatelyyyyyy

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

fascinating that every person ICE encounters has a gun and is also a high ranking gang member

After first trying this perfect drunk dish in Dublin in 2023, I spent months after my layoff recreating Ireland’s perfectly spicy, crunchy, tingly SPICE BAG and by god I think I have succeeded

Read the recipe at Serious Eats, then make it immediately www.seriouseats.com/spice-bag-re...

I see so much content about people-pleasing and I simply cannot relate, I am a people-annoyer. a people-angerer.

they can pry my hokas out of my cold elder millennial dead hands

if you can talk yourself into arresting a five year old child wearing a bunny hat after tricking him into helping you arrest his father, i really don't know what kind of moral redemption exists for you on this earth or anywhere else

thank you for saying so 💜💜

my chatbot psychosis is that people won’t stop using them for very dumb reasons and it’s making me lose my goddamn mind

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch!
