Sure there are a few hyper-vigilant vegans, but there is a huge number of people who would like a plant-based alternative but are okay with the fact that it may have been cooked in the same oil or on the same surface as meat.

Hello! UK reader married to a vegan, here. Ultimately people like me are the target market for stuff like this. I know - many of us know - we *have* to reduce our meat consumption. We’re the floating voters. My diet is broadly vegetarian, I know I should do more, and meat-eating is typically reserved for takeout and…

In terms of who this is for, several of my friends who are vegetarian for ethical reasons are fine with eating meatless products cooked on/in the same surface as meat. Unless you’re super strict about it (and yes, many vegetarians/vegans are) it’s not an issue. And, anecdotally, these folks are super stoked to eat KFC…

Nope, because the leading candidate right now is a nasty transphobic anti-vaxxer. Lets recast instead, and maybe the anti-vaxxer will be so upset they’ll vanish in a puff of outrage to start an “I’m cancelled” podcast somewhere.

Exactly.  At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how they choose to do it.  New person taking on the mantle.  Replacement.  BP from different universe.  At some point, (after the requisite time to honor the contributions of Boseman to the character), a new actor will be taking on the role.  It’s too popular not to. …

If you asked Sami people how they feel about others encroaching on them, how would THEY feel? That’s still displacing people in the name of manifest destiny and “owning” lands.

Sami exist across Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Much like how many native tribes span both the US and Canada but have been divided by the…

William got a lot of pressure to marry Kate, and I don’t believe that’s a solid foundation for a marriage. If my mother had gone to my then-boyfriend/now-husband and asked when the proposal would be coming and it needed to be soon, I would have been mortified and he might consider breaking up with me. But Kate’s mom…

Yeah, I think a big part of Kate’s appeal for William was that she already knew he was a cheater. She wasn’t blind to it/young and naive like his mom was when she married Charles.

He cheated on her before they were married. I don’t see how that would change afterwards. It’s not like he can be voted out of office or really lose anything he couldn't buy back himself. The worst that could happen is a scandal or divorce, but he, like the rest of the men in his family, aren’t losing anything.

It also makes the stakes extremely high for everything they do. Even the faintest hint of rumors about either one of them—but especially William—will hang around like a bad stink.

They didn’t say they wanted a quiet private life out of the spotlight. They said they did not want to be beholden to the Royal Rota, who attacked them for breathing, blinking and existing. And I’d like to see when in your press the people “liked them,” what with all the “niggling feelings,” being “straight outta…

The biggest danger Charles provides to the Monarchy is that he is boring. Liz, especially as she has got older, has proved oddly charismatic (and the Late Duke of Edinburgh was always good for some entertainment), but Charles is boring. The modern royals can be many things, but boring can’t be one of them. The…

From what I read he was just a really good con man—the kind that picks up on your weaknesses and plays them like a fiddle. And as you noted, leveraged one billionaire to get another etc etc til he’s actually pretty rich and powerful himself. Kinda like a trophy wife, see: Wendi Murdoch. 

It’s so simultaneously sappy, condescending, and low key emotionally violent that it’s like Vin Diesel is competing to be America’s worst mother-in-law.

The Queen is an unelected monarch whose wealth and power are direct results of colonialism, the slave trade, racism, theft, and corruption. Because of that she and her heirs will never be “relatable” no matter how many photo ops the plebs get. Getting rid of the Queen and her leech of a family is a bureaucratic mess…

I wonder how much of his career was thanks to his ability to blackmail, and how much of it was just building a reputation off a very select few successes. His relationship with Les Wexner makes me really curious about how smart that particular billionaire really is.

I think it’s somewhere in the middle...Epstein took his own life during a “window of opportunity” that might not have been available if the guards had not conveniently looked away. Epstein knew he had to clock ticking...

Almost always, I ignore and despise conspiracy theories.

y e p, and she’s gonna turn up dead or “dead” too.

Fast food dark meat can be a rubbery fatty mess half of the time. I dont care how many times people say “but that’s flavor,” that’s why we have seasoning.
