yeah, it is bananas that nobody addressed this ahead of time. depending on how gay you/your circle is, closing on Sunday is either the first or second thing you know about Chick-Fil-A! but god forbid we make sure a company getting rewarded with great locations will actually show up to provide service.

My guess is bribery and the corrupt nature of upstate right wing politicians contributing to this clusterfuck. Chick-Fil-A had no business at a highway rest stop, especially one that gets such high volume. 

Someone at Chick-Fil-A AND someone in NY did not do their due diligence.

“But the school says it took particular issue with posts that said Israel’s war on Gaza began before October 7...”

Just because you don’t support Israel doesn’t mean you’re antisemitic. Fuck the every pro-Zionist who conflates the two.

Is... is there any appeal to this at all? I mean, I guess if you think the voice is real, maybe, but knowing it’s AI, is anyone going to one chain over another because it sounds like a d-list celebrity (or even an A-lister) is taking your order?

Allowing victims of abuse only one year to get their cases together is going to create further trauma for those who don’t have the time, money, wherewithall to do that.

Batali’s a true scumbag, but for whatever I wasn’t overly surprised when this shitty side of him came out. He can fuck off and stay that way as far as I’m concerned.

Well, it was nice of them to give him another shot.

“counterproductive to promoting peace.”

I like how after a bunch of embarrassing failed speaker votes, THIS is the doofus they all get behind.

I agree that iSrael has contributed to the cycle of violence, but iSrael isn’t targeting civilians

While I don’t normally argue against people spending their own discretionary income on whatever they please, it’s hard not to read this story and think it’s never been clearer that we live in essentially a caste system where certain financial tiers are so far removed from each other that the most basic values and…

Real people are far worse than any dumb made up demon.

Agreed, but what is the mainstream’s excuse? There are savages amongst us

Conservatives aren’t interested in the basics of humanity like empathy and compassion.

What the fuck? “Don’t talk about how much you love your wife in case your ex hears” is certainly a take, I guess, especially from a man who has never married. Strong incel energy to be honest.

They had a great opportunity to do an actual tribute to TAS and have pretty much wasted it with bottom-of-the-barrel humour.
