Yeah it’s a puzzler. When I lived in New Jersey I discovered 3-4 excellent Thai places just in my town alone. The food was excellent, flavorful with lots of heat. Once or twice waitstaff who didn’t know us would respond with “Thai spicy or White spicy?” when we were in the mood for extra heat

Hmmm, I’m wishing I could smack a very specific millionaire podcaster with my sturdy marble rolling pin

I walked out of the cinema thinking “that was Prince Charles in The Crown, right? I didn’t just imagine that?”

These ads are astonishing. Imagine these as part of your evening TV watching experience, or among the previews at the movies. That was my life from my teens to today. The first one shown in this article haunts me. It was a mix of actors and real medical professionals
