Beef: the taste turkeys naturally crave.
Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

grease floats.

when it flows in sewage and into our plants, it thickens as temps fall, separating in our settling tanks.

the churning water forms grease globs that build like snowballs, and operators remove them so they don’t clog the process.

listen. don’t pour grease down your drains.

Today I learned that stalking a 17 year old girl, writing up a 400 page 'dossier' about her, falsely reporting her to the police and smashing her phone does not constitute 'harassment'.

One wonders what *would*.

The Disturbing Profane: Hip-Hop, Blackness, and the Sacred

Hip-hop isn’t a threat to holiness — it’s a witness to survival. Joseph R. Winters’ "The Disturbing Profane" reframes the sacred through Black art and expression. Jordan Burton offers a review.

Brett Ratner using his Trump connections to try and get out "Me Too Jail" and revive his only successful franchise is the most Brett Ratner thing he's ever done. Mock anyone who buys into his PR spin and doesn't call this out for the absurdity it is.
