The beauty of Xiahoe a mummy from the Xiaohe cemetery wears a necklace of fermented dairy, cheese or kefir or something like that that points to another direction of creation for kefir coming from the east and not just in Caucasus area. It's from 1800BCE roughly and it's very well preserved since the arid climate and saline sands kept her very very well.

This mummy was discovered in the early 21st century wearing a necklace made of ...fermented dairy. The exact type of dairy is still up for debate but it could be kefir or similar...Lets find the long history of fermented dairy in Central Asia here:

That whole thing was set up so they can say it’s made from”real potatoes”.

There was a story that came out a month or two ago that said lays has had to rebrand because like 40% of people didn’t realize their chips were made out of potatoes.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

The Zuni fetish doll segment terrified me so much as a child. No because of the doll but because of the end where Karen Black is crouched with the knife stabbing it into the floor. To this day when I’m in the dark she is my dark corner demon. Always in my imagination.

One of my favorite parts of having the hockey game on is when they cut into the middle of the action so some dirt bag can tell me I "still have time" to gamble on tonight's game. JFC, the damage gambling is doing to sports. They should've left everything in the hands of the mafia where it belongs.

I grew up in SOWEBO a few blocks away from The Cultured Pearl. Hopkins Market had the best fish sandwich ever. They just remodeled the whole market. It’s all gentrified and weird.
