I dunno about that...a food writer or blogger is presumably going to dine out at Giant assuming they can print an article/story/review later about their dining experience, something they get paid for (either directly via their publication, or indirectly through page clicks and ads or whatever). Having it turn out that…

Glad wrap isn’t magic, and three-days of airtight storage is plenty of time to let some serious foodborne illnesses develop, even under refrigeration. A food writer or a professional chef telling you on camera it tastes delicious is all fine and well - it could still put somebody in the hospital. Did they take extra…

Norm is one of those comics who seems like he’s ALWAYS in character...as though the Hollywood Reporter interview and any apology would also have been done in character...so what’s sincere, the off-color or tasteless comments, bordering on observational humor, or the half-hearted formality apology?

Firstly: I’d trade in my real legs for robotic prosthetics if I could only be “Ray Park fat” (which typed out, sounds like a different actor entirely)

But, the economy has never been stronger, the jobless rate is the lowest in like 50 years, wages are up 1.4%, that tax cut is definitely probably maybe trickling somewhere (definitely totally not offshore though!) and the stocks, holy cow, the stocks...they’re bigly. So why in the flying fuck would we take money OUT…

The highest possible standard should be an absolute non-negotiable. A citizen commits a crime and injures another citizen, but when a LEO commits a crime WHILE ON THE JOB, they injure not just the victim, but entire institutions, communities, and damage the very fabric of our legal system.

It’s not all *that* slippery...after all, being born a POC is a genetically determined inescapable certainty, but being a cop is 100% by choice.

241,000 law enforcement officers you say?  How many of them know what the fuck a dilettante is, how to spell it and/or use it in a proper sentence?  Yeah, see, that’s part of the problem right there:  they’re either a mass of ignorant dufuses OR their “elected” union representatives are making statements on the…

Something something viral marketing something.

For real. It’s a long-running game of Monopoly, using real buildings. A company acquires another, sells of a certain number of locations to a third company that rebrands, and then holds for a few years, then shuffles everything up again when another round of mergers and acquisitions presents itself or the commercial…

Well, if you mean closing two (or more) smaller, lower volume locations, and building one bigger new location in the same general area, then yeah, I guess they were closing stores. They weren’t rolling in dough like Amazon, but I don’t think swapping out or consolidating locations in major markets is a decline. Their…

Sussing out a registered sex offender hardly requires a background check - heck, it shows up on a google search for some people. The very idea of a registry is to that it DOESN’T take a criminal background check (which can be costly and time consuming) to identify convicted sexual predators in a community or…

Is anybody else bothered by the fact that “432 passengers cleared” is NOT the same as 432 passengers saying they feel fine? (“please let me finally disembark from this awful flight already mister public health person!”)

There’s a clue in Vanilla’s tweet...he says up top as though nobody in the upper area around him is sick. Assuming different galleys serving the different seating areas, it’s not far off look at something in the food or beverages served on board, as if it were airborne, they’re all breathing the same recycled air no…

Could there be? Sure. Is there? No. Why? Because GoFundMe takes a percentage of the payout automatically, so GoFundMe actually benefits from projects raising more money, and therefore has no incentive to “pump the brakes” on any campaigns, especially the ones that blow their goals out of the water.

I was brought up not to speak ill of the dead, but I’d feel better about McCain’s legacy, such as it is, if he had resigned sometime after the healthcare “thumbs down” vote, and before Arizona’s cut off for a special election to replace him, as now we get to see who the whack-a-doodle AZ Gov. will appoint to fill his…

The last 24 hours of Twitter have been people falling all over themselves and each other to contribute to McCain’s canonization as some Saint of the Republic(tm).

WHO, the EU and whatever board the State of California uses to identify carcinogens, have all already weighed in on glyphosate being potentially risky well in advance of this legal case.  I suspect the release of the survey of products for Roundup residue was timed to coincide with news of the jury verdict for…

Yes.  Something is amiss, on a large scale.  The other issue here is Monsanto has always stated (and hired consultants and experts to assert, repeatedly) that glyphosate breaks down quickly, doesn’t accumulate, and couldn’t possibly show up in any appreciable amounts in finished products.  All the steps that happen to…

Neither of EWG’s founders are, or have been, attorneys, that I’m aware of...one worked at the National Academy of Sciences and the other has a background in agriculture and soil science and came to found EWG via World Wildlife. They’re a 501(c)3 since 1992, and their 990's are available for public review.
