DoorDash Discourse is entirely wrong.
Since the pandemic, percent spending on groceries are up, food away from home is down, and this is especially true for young people. Trends point to food affordability being a real problem.

Stop Blaming DoorDash for the Affordability Crisis
One DoorDash Discourse to rule them all: Food away from home is down. Groceries are up. This is especially true for young people. Affordability is a real problem.

So much of classic political science research is woefully underpowered.

solanas's whole theory was that men were biologically inferior to women and that's why women would eventually overtake them and take over society to build fully automated luxury space communism with eternal life and no sex. andrews believes the exact same think except that radfem agartha is bad

To me it is tragic that, just because of several hundred disgusting email exchanges with an international sex criminal, CBS viewers will be denied some of the most outrageously specious "wellness" advice imaginable. How are people going to find out about the chalk supplements he sells now?
(The Wrap) - CBS News is expected to cut ties with new contributor Peter Attia, a wellness expert, over his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, according to an individual with knowledge of Paramount’s thinking.

to be fair it makes perfect sense for tabibi to not want to ask too many questions about whether russian assets are involved in sex trafficking
Let's check in on the Twitter Files guy -- who insisted that the behind the scenes decision-making on content moderation was the most important issue of our time -- and see what he thinks about the publication of communications involving the most notorious sex predator of our generation.
