on a very warm day i went into a coffee shop and saw they had iced tea on the menu. refreshing! asked for an iced tea. guy behind the counter gave me a withering look and said no, he couldn't do that, because the tea was too special to ruin with ice

went into a pizza place at 6 pm, asked the young woman behind the counter for 2 slices of pepperoni. "oh... we're out?" cheese? "uhhh...we're out." any pizza at all? "uhhh" can we order a pizza to go? "i'm... not sure." she had to go talk to her manager, then forgot to give steve the beer he ordered

if you really want to rip on Portland you should start with how busy breakfast places are at 9:30 on a weekday

"i need chatgpt to help me with brainstorming" is so revealing. ideas are so easy, especially if it's for, like, a narrative art. stories are everywhere! what do you mean you need a plagiarism machine for ideas?!

you can spend years trying to figure out the exact strain of evil at work in a tech baron's heart but the reality is that they are simply very, very fucking stupid

I still have such strong positive feelings about Dracula the novel and no adaptation has done it justice

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

a screenshot of an article suggested on my empty firefox tab from The Kitchn [sic], with a photo of a fluffy puck of scrambled egg with herbs on top on a pink plate with parmesan and herbs scattered on the plate. the headline reads "This Famous Chef's 3-Ingredient 'Mayonegg' Is the Egg Hack I'm Making on Repeat for Breakfast"

The recent ICE raid which emptied an entire apartment building was apparently at the request of Wells Fargo, which is trying to foreclose on the building.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

calls to mind a person who got fired from their last EIC position for being a sex pest and is trying to win over the newsroom by showing how cool they are, actually

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
