This sums one of my issues with Salt & Straw as a PNW/West Coaster. Among the hip “ultra-premium” shops, they really like a gimmick but often choose things that just don’t taste good in execution. I find that many of their local flavors (made with random local ingredients per city) are not good at all. Of course, they…

Trader Joe’s used to have a good one but I think they discontinued it a few years ago. I used to look forward to it and keep checking to see if it returns (it hadn’t as of last week but not all of the holiday selection was in). It is odd that the big premium brands like Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Dazs don’t seem to…

I think that’s a legitimate question given the way that certain groups of people will latch on to that potential straw man argument. I think the point is that research into this area isn’t necessarily predicated on therapy being able change certain innate feelings of attraction as much as understanding them as means…

This topic always reminds me of a very memorable This American Life where a self-aware teenager (at the time) talks about seeking therapy for pedophilia to avoid acting on his attractions. It was powerful hearing someone (and someone so young) speak candidly about their personal and medical struggles in the first…

Probably still Clue, which would seem to be a direct inspiration for Knives Out (and why I had probably unreasonable expectations for it).

Before you even get to the cameos like Hank Azaria, Jeremey Piven, Tone Loc, and fricking Henry Rollins, you also have Amy Brenneman who was a legit TV star, and Natalie Portman.

I’d add gluten-free as a “diet” food in the sense that it’s a modification (that many people do equate with healthy). Trader Joe’s gluten-free cookies, which I assume are from Tate’s, are great if you like crispy cookies. There are times where rice flour or other starches offer a textural improvement over wheat.

I completely disagree. I don’t think Impossible and Beyond products are great or healthy but It’s an environmental necessity to make this change. The reality is the majority people don’t care enough and aren’t going to stop eating meat until they have a viable alternative (optional or otherwise), which bean burgers…

I had both of these (sandwich, nuggets) yesterday. First, this was the most embarrassed I’ve ever been ordering food: “One hottie sauce sandwich.” Second, the sauce didn’t look much like the promo, which looks much thicker. I’m not enough of an aficionado to know about Sweet Heat sauce (YouTube seems to think it’s…

Also, his rationale keeps fucking changing in the same interview. First he had “an allergy to an ingredient” in the Pfizer/Moderna ones—yet didn’t take J&J. Then he had concerns about lack of “long-term fertility” studies—which, aren’t a thing for normal vaccines or medicine for that matter and the absence of which for…

I watched that about 5 minutes before they took it private and most of the comments were wondering why it was still up because, to your point, it shows exactly what happened as the promotion. There are clips of it in the IG story that another commenter posted here.

They just took down the official promo video a few minutes ago which shows exactly what happened as promotion for the event.

In the time it took me to start this comment, the official promo video for this event that I was going to post was taken down. It shows exactly what happened as the value proposition. This story has clips from it:

He’s saving that for the next Joe Rogan appearance.

Offset, Letitia Wright (I think, despite her denials about what she was alleged to have done) come to mind. I stopped following Pete Rock long ago but I’m pretty confident I know what his position is without looking.

From the paywalled article:

Putting aside his obvious bias, what possible noun would one use instead to refer to victims of a gun shot? Recipients? Beneficiaries? FFS.

He’s doing a show with Joe Rogan tomorrow. I can’t wait for him to release his supplement list.

I watched it at home (with my good surround setup and sub) and as I was walking my dog last night I could tell which neighbors were watching it without looking (through their open windows—I live in a neighborhood where one can see others TVs from the street without trying). I was humming the Zimmer brown note sound and…

Never seen that. The funniest part is thinking of how funny the meta Edward Norton impersonation of Owen Wilson must have been for him and the actual people mocked. It’s pretty good.
