Of all of the trivial stances out there, Chicago’s militance about what does and does not go on a hot dog needs to go. It’s myopic, antiquated, and borders on being undemocratic.

FREEDOM OF HOT DOG TOPPING CHOICE FOR ALL!

My wife and I watch Halloween Baking Championship every year. I love it- fun weirdos making gory and spooky and disgusting looking treats… a fantastic Halloween apéritif.

The season premiere had one of the wildest moments I’ve ever seen on television. If you watch, let’s chat.

WILD. STUFF.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

Hey @bsky.app, I’d love a Drafts folder. I used to let a post marinate and I really enjoyed that. Could we do a Drafts folder?

The figurehead of a major American food conglomerate openly commiserating with law enforcement, a high powered politician, and known criminals… I don’t know how our society got desensitized to corruption, but it likely started here.
