I love The Takeout’s review of “normal” foods!

This seems so intuitive now, but you have to imagine yourself back when everything except sugar was demonized. I know middle-aged women who still scrape the whipped cream of a key lime pie because of fat. OFF A DAMN CUSTARD PIE. We are living with the consequences of the fucked up sugar industry shitting all over…

I AM DEAD.

Is that guy in the shirtsleeves an actual human or a stock photo of a GOP politician turned into a cardboard cutout??

Aldi did used to sell Fage for just like unreasonably cheap (it’s like almost $8 at Wegmans!) and I do miss that now that they have their own version. Fage is better IMO, but for the price Aldi’s is unbeatable.

I am soooo grateful for the Aldi in my expensive, small-city collegetown. I hear folks who are a little too snotty for their own good complain about how expensive it is to go to the normal grocery store and I’m like, “Dude, you don’t have to buy everything there—they even have bags of Organic Kale at Aldi! Just give…

If you’re not buying your tubs of full fat Greek yogurt from Aldi you deserve all the greek yogurt industry drama that’s coming your way YOU FOOL.

I looked through the literature a little more. Each individual award is $2.5 million—$500,00 over 5 years. So, I assume the $1 million is similarly appropriated. That’s straight up BANK. I’m a cell biologist who was prepared to say the same thing, but good for them if they’re going to be handing that out to a bunch of…

Yeah, this blog post is nuts. None of the links even direct to the original paper (unless I missed it? If it’s there it should be so much more obvious). And that paper is OPEN ACCESS! Anyone can read it! Not just snotty me sitting in my fancy biomedical research lab with All the Literature at my fingertips.

BLOW IT UP.

And you know, if the splinter comments were just a weird cesspool, fine. But they’re feeding off blog posts that I know are written by actual human beings. It makes me wonder what the writers are seeing out in, like, twitter that is shaping the tone of some of the more hyper critical-of-Dems posts.

We all kinja for our own reasons. Like, in years past one could let off some steam and argue with buttheads and it would be a wash. We just have to be more careful now and it sucks that it’s closing off otherwise harmless (screaming into the void of a comment section can be hella cathartic) coping mechanisms.

I was trying to remember that Alvin name! There’s a couple new names that I wouldn’t be surprised had the same source material.

Yes!! There are actual academics who study how information gets disseminated and I eat it up whenever they’re interviewed on my podcasts and stuff. They all say, the way to combat mis/dis information is to not amplify the signal! When people get into arguments with obvious trolls they’re just creating larger and…

I start a lot of my comments with these three words, but: OH MY GOD.

Ah! I thought for a second I missed an ep, but I realized I listened to the first one through On the Media.

Dude, yeah, pacing is crucial. I have to remind myself that it’s not a personal failing to turn off NPR in the morning because they’re interviewing too many bullshitting congresspeople.

Omg, are you listening to Embedded’s lastest “season”??

Hot damn, I love kinja.

My mom, just by practice and classic midwestern shopping habits, figured out that things at Target with prices that end in 4 were not going to be marked down any further. It really helps you make stupid clearance end cap impulse buy decisions. “Oh, it’s not marked down all the way, I don’t need it so maybe it’ll be…
