Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy:
I still buy songs on the iTunes Store
I’m too old for anything that makes me feel like shit.
But young ones take note: Any age is really already too old for things that make you feel like shit.
I wish I had learned much earlier in life simply to walk away when any person, place, or thing makes me feel like shit.
I wanted to read more and talk about raw milk and alt-yuppies but first I apparently need to get over the moral injury (and also total disgust) I have from the idea of chilling and liquifying offal instead of just cooking and eating it
I’m like 30 sec into this article and I have a lot of questions but the first is why would you pay $19 for a powdered organ smoothie when you just buy and eat offal very cheaply (and cook it to eliminate pathogens and maximize nutrition) ????? Do these yuppies know where organs come from ?????????

when I was a kid they had Coors floats in the parade… Not in Boston but in major Midwestern cities. (The Coors family spent millions to lobby against queers, and Coors family people were even elected to office running on homophobia). A Pride parade is always an American machine
it does seem worth mentioning, however, that at Boston Pride, the BPD were used to prevent anti-genocide protesters from joining the march, several of whom were then arrested.
What kind of ‘Pride’ has cops arrest queer attendees protesting its connection to genocide-enabling corporations?
This is also shade against Jerry Seinfeld, who just recently said that thing about how he wishes masculinity were still dominant or some other bs. Well done, Julia

pfizer.comThe prompting reason for this post is that I got shade from a WV Melungeon for saying that I like to make my soup beans vegan sometimes. ??? A lot of the Appalachians I know are queer, rad, and vegan! Then this person shared some photos of their food and it was… uh… Not our family’s style lol 🤢
Niche post but the West Virginia Melungeons are kinda different from my Melungeon family who are mainly from TN and KY. It is actually kind of surprising to me how different some of their traditions are from mine. my TN and KY families are also different from each other
basically the opposite of Paul and Elizabeth’s lol. although I would absolutely serve vegan trash food options
dreaming about opening a trash food restaurant in western Mass. with Shopsin rules
if you order a “Michigan dog” at a “creamee” in VT, western MA, Adirondack area of NY- it’s similar to a Cincinnati coney and also resembles a Michigan coney, which is related!
hot take: Cincinnati chili was invented by a Macedonian guy, is based on the excellent spiced tomato sauces you find in the Mediterranean, and you’d probably find the sauce delicious if you ordered it over pasta at a Greek restaurant

The brazen daytime raid freed four Israeli hostages but unleashed relentless bombardment of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
wapo.stI have seen people asking, “where are the people who support Hamas? are people really saying they support Hamas?” etc. Well, this is by far from the first I have seen and I’m sure it won’t be the last. You can easily oppose what Israel is doing without literally endorsing terrorists.

as someone who didn’t really like him that much to begin with I am forced to admit he has done a huge amount of good things, not only on climate. I wish I had been keeping a list. it’s like his status as a beltway insider means he knew all these places to fix the bureaucracy from the inside
Also some of them are rich enough to survive. Like, they know if it goes sideways they can afford to emigrate or just buy access to illegal abortions etc, etc. So while they might say they have a left political persuasion they aren’t really thinking of everyone.
I was joking but in all seriousness if you had to move to be safe and could never go any more you would be surprised how much you miss it. also where I ended up is like… all pancakes , and sometimes shitty bougie brunch. :( it’s a flavor wasteland
I live in a place where I have seen them make biscuits and gravy with Italian sausage 🤢 the nearest waffle house is 225 miles away, and there are zero 24 hour restaurants any more, except maybe the whately diner.

www.cpsc.govSorry for absolutely losing it on main but look at this fucking framing of how they say “despite how expensive…” over and over and then also blame “an influx of migrants” Well which one is it? Just go on and say that you hate brown people and poor people already, we all fucking already know it.
What douchebag wrote this fucking article? Stop making it sound like providing shelter is so goddamn expensive and also like it is the fault of migrants! Fuck you! There is so much hoarded wealth in Mass., you can share a little more for the poor, you bags of dildos!
