Dear Salty,

They didn’t put no bourbon in it or nothin’, but it’s a pretty fucking good milkshake. I don’t know if it’s worth five dollars but it’s pretty fucking good.

“The paradigm where awful people get promoted and accomplishers get shafted (while the awful people take credit for their work) will destroy capitalism”

Sir, this is a Starbucks.

So you’re just going to ignore his explanation that the scotch is a celebration of a milestone birthday and instead is about chasing clout, huh?

There is A LOT of projection in the collective internet outrage over that dopey commercial.

I think this is one of those things where people see what they want to see.

It’s people projecting their own insecurities into the ad and making wild assumptions. It says something about a person that jumps straight to ‘he must be abusive’ or ‘anyone gifting exercise equipment is straight up telling you that you are fat’.

BRO IT HAS COCONUT OIL & MONK FRUIT HOW IS THAT NOT HIGH TECH BRO

After watching as much of that YouTube reaction video as I could stomach (10 seconds), I am so very glad I live in a country where people SHUT THE FUCK UP while watching a film. Even though at my equivalent opening-night viewing you could sense the excitement bristling through the audience, the relative silence…

I found the YouTube video and processed it into a gif and wrote a reply that was promptly Kinja’d. Even this site’s software is grumpy at the loss. Let’s try again.

Oh no! My favorite writer on this site is leaving. Kate’s articles invariably left me with a goofy grin on my face. I feel like I learned a little bit and laughed a lot.
