Read this before you buy lunch today. ⬇️

Not only is Cava serving up "slop," they make an appearance on our Employer Wall of Shame.

Thanks @slate.com and @calllmenadira.net for factoring workers' rights into your "slop bowl" rankings!

I ranked all of the popular Slop Bowls for @slate.com!

Through my research, I found horror stories of customers allegedly being served severed fingers, class action lawsuits, and glorious, gooey mac and cheese.

Capitalism may ruin everything, but that doesn't mean we need to abandon discernment!

Slop Bowls Have Taken Over the Working Person’s Lunch Break. We’ve Ranked Them From the Sloppiest to the Supreme.

Content creators tend to think any spectacle is defensible if they can say health and safety concerns have been attended to behind the scenes, but that’s not really it imho. Mr. Beast’s whole thing is that his subjects’ desperation for cash allows him—a wealthier person—to indulge his sadism.

@KillaKreww
MrBeast had a contestant TRAPPED inside a BURNING house to win $500,000 in his new video [link]

@MrBeast
This blew up, if you're curious obviously we had ventilation for the smoke and a kill switch to cut off the fires. We had professionals test this extensively and the guy in the video as stated is a professional stunt man. I take safety more serious than you could ever imagine.

I wrote about how much I enjoyed TWINLESS, the new Dylan O'Brien vehicle.

This movie gets extra points for having the best depiction of how The Sims is a perfect proxy for exploring your own grief.

One of the Best Movie Twists of the Year Comes From a Sundance Hit That’s Finally in Theaters

Infamous gay sex scene aside, Twinless serves as a fascinating character study.
