People who have never had good grits (or any grits at all), much less good shrimp and grits are just going to be lost here, since the perception is that they’re bland and mushy or “gritty” and altogether unpleasant.

It’s NBC/Universal/Comcast.

I don’t know.

I wasn’t aware of this, but it really bothers me since Soule is one of my favorite composers of late. Much of his work is magnificent, and it’s unfortunate that this Kickstarter business seems iffy.

I’m baffled as to why some cheeses mold so rapidly, in spite of careful handling (or lack of handling, in actuality).

That’s... not better.

Italians everywhere cringe as though there is a disturbance in la Forza.

This is universal.

As a former vegetarian, I must express my disgust with Tofurky. Not only was it not in any way a substitute for turkey, it lacked a pleasing flavor and texture of its own.

Multi award-winnng Tyler Bates doubtless doesn’t care...

So you’re being racist, ageist and overall just ignorant.

My seventy eight year old lesbian mother is appreciative of the sentiment, but shouts a big “fuck you” to Starbucks otherwise.

Nobody is going to mention this?

Agreed, 100%. We hit up the local farmer’s markets when possible, or go to Vallarta, then Ralph’s as a last resort.

I’ve learned the hard way to avoid all TJ’s fresh produce.

The Vanity Fair piece on Raniere, nxivm and the Bronfman sisters is invaluable background on this cult.

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for this story to break all over.

This insult coming from someone who is morbidly obese himself.

Come on, it’s not as if Gawker had been sued into non-existence over such behaviour in the past, right?
