*checks Sweetgreen’s prices*

I’m telling you if you want to lose weight, you’re better off eating a Big Mac everyday for lunch than Sweetgreen’s Elote Bowl.

I’m not sure the point of the article is to convince you that China’s gaming restrictions are 100% appropriate or make 100% sense.

You don’t live in China though, so what is scaring you? What it seems like is a government responding to a perceived problem in a way that a lot of stakeholders apparently wanted. And while I don’t think these restrictions make much sense myself, I can’t walk into a casino and gamble if I’m 16. I can’t buy a beer if…

Here’s nutritional info for one dish:

State courts are not bound by the standing requirements that control the jurisdiction of federal Article III courts. Subject to its own standing jurisprudence (and other state and federal constitutional limits that aren’t really applicable), any state can give access to its courts to hear any matter it wants on…

I’m stealing this from a thoughtful commenter (h/t Seabassy) over on the Jezebel article (https://jezebel.com/supreme-court-lets-horrifying-anti-abortion-bill-become-1847595981) on this, explaining how this is affecting people and, importantly, places you can donate, if you’re able, to help with what can be fairly…

Seriously.  Talk about someone who has COMPLETELY lost the thread.

No, but when you get a hundred or a thousand people all chanting “fire him” at the same time, that imparts power.

Would love to be at the Substack holiday party, where all the writers are sharing their various tales of cancellation, and Bari Weiss follows up Rushdie’s genuinely harrowing experience by recounting how people stopped letting her know when they were having birthday cake in the NYT’s conference room, and Glenn…

Also, this particular carrot looks a lot less like a penis than most other ones I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot.

Crikes.  Looking at the cast list, and then reading this review, is a wild disappointment.

Is a cougar/mountain lion considered an exotic animal?

This reeks of ageism!

Lol, Philip Baker Hall is so fucking good in that episode it’s unreal.  I used to watch old Dragnets, and the way he nails that overwrought soapboxing is just perfect.  I always wonder how many takes they had to do for each one of his monologues, because in what made it to air Jerry is just barely keeping it together.

Yep. Reddit knows it doesn’t want to become 4chan, and knows that actually moderating speech is the only way to prevent that from happening (just like a bar will kick out anyone who is obnoxious and loud and preventing other patrons from having an enjoyable time). They only bring out their “but what about the marketpla…

My problem is when you (and others) mandate your opinion and pressure others into following your values. It makes me uncomfortable when Christians do that. Not going to support it just because it’s my beliefs.

YOU think they’re bad things. (And I do to.) But that’s basically our opinion. Morality isn’t an absolute. It’s a shared societal construct that changes and evolves over time, with different groups having different moralities.

For example, 2016's Unite the Right rally wasn’t inherently bad
