I recently had a 9 year old Facebook memory where I was complaining about the ubiquity of Halo Top and how no one would shut the fuck up about Halo Top and when I saw it, it took me a few seconds to remember what Halo Top even was. That gives me hope.

Food people are not talking enough about how fucking stupid these MAHA products are. People should feel embarrassed for buying "clean beef tallow." Buyers should lose their jobs for pushing this crap. Keep the woo to the supplements aisle

Criminally underappreciated post right here

A reason I like New England is I prefer 55 to 80. I have neither the money nor desire to move to Nantucket (ok, I'd enjoy the first 6 months until I got tired of writing limericks) so cannot endorse this in mid April.

Something I don't understand about fast food delivery is most of these menu items are engineered to taste like shit outside of the 5 minute window where they were served.

Defense contractors will take out targeted at exactly one person on the DC Metro. The audience for this is Congress and their staff, and makes perfect sense in that context. (Not an excuse. An explanation. DC Metro ads are inherently weird)

Your Kindle's not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak — and I'll show you how it's done You can transform your old Kindle — even a bricked device — into the ultimate open-source reader. Here's how. www.zdnet.com/article/your...

I'm guessing the team working on this are half true believers who think this is useful, and half wreckers who know how stupid this will look and hope exposing it quickly will mean they get to do actual real work again.

Someone started an account here that promised to post summaries of whatever the hell the discourse of the moment is so you can jump back in after being offline and it lasted 2 days

There's a 5mm wide sweet spot where you can use the same pasta for linguine or fettuccine on a restaurant menu and no one will notice.

Ok now MLB just has to do this for every stadium. I want a damn Chicago Pope hat just for its signaling value when traveling abroad

"Uhcrustable" would be an amazing name for a spaceship, tbh

My name is Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddd.......

The MA legislature is an absolute joke and I'm increasingly afraid I'll have to run for it

Orban defeated. Sox showing life. Cool third thing in play

I feel bad for anyone paying for NESN

the US government poisoned bootleg liquor with methanol in 1926-1933, killing around 10,000 people, to dissuade home distilling. a hundred years later, people still claim that home distilling will blind or kill you, and that the US government protects you from this fate. propaganda is amazing

i don't think that'll make the result any more precise, but sure

damn are u a 1970s luncheon cuz i want to send u an aspic

My contribution to the bad take discourse is everyone in beer and whiskey knew that there was massive structural oversupply being built into these industries a decade ago. We just hoped it would be somebody else's problem.

I'm sure Dolly would still have been on top, but no one else on this list should celebrate their position because the poll did not ask about @alyankovic.bsky.social

Props to the burlesque performer I know who is already producing copies of these as pasties. Don't dare try to tell me that all entrepreneurs are bad or that NASA doesn't have positive economic and artistic effects outside of the space domain

Can someone please tell me which asshole Dem consultant told all these fucking idiots that "America First" is a good phrase? I just want to have a conversation.

A lot of misinformation going around from people who should know better

See you on the other side, Integrity.

Please land safely, bird.

Mission Hill mentioned

If you get alpha-gal from a tick bite, caused by climate catastrophe, and become allergic to red meat & dairy, well, there's always shrimp, which, certainly also thanks to climate catastrophe increasing oceanic temperatures forcing new zoonotic disease pathways to form, can now make you go blind

"but did you consider...." yes i made this one too don't worry.

Yesterday, I noticed the hot chile stuffed naan at my favorite Indian place was 30 cents less than the regular naan, and, friends, this morning I was reminded that some costs aren't found in the price alone. Lesson learned? Well, I just ate the leftovers, so…

I think we're seeing evidence it may not be possible to do one person independent newsletter journalism without dramatically increasing one's odds of going insane. Editing is more than grammar checking. It keeps everyone's natural Hunter S Thompson instincts in check.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Everything is terrible, but after getting him 11 months ago, the cat actually sat in my lap for the first time today. And I wasn't even using the blanket that short circuits his monster brain because he thinks it's his mother. A whole ten seconds! (His name's Hubble, maybe the space vibes help)

This will hurt lgbtq and disabled kids

Massachusetts, our leaders are in the process of enacting a horrible piece of legislation that will hurt us all. The only 2 Dems who voted against it were @electerika.bsky.social and @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social. Call and thank them if you're lucky; everyone else, call and yell at your rep. Please.

It's called "knowing your audience."

It's probably not a coincidence that @mikeconnollyma.bsky.social and @electerika.bsky.social are the only 2 state legislators I ever see being useful. This is an absolute embarrassment, and where is @aclum.bsky.social on this??

Nature is healing

It kills me to read headlines like this in my state where our Governor regularly talks about showing Trump how things should be done. Expanding hunting season isn't going to fix this, Maura.

I just declared tab bankruptcy on 1103 tabs. At least 1% of them were Chotiner interviews. Genie, I'm free.

Since it seems I've picked up some baseball followers: if you didn't already know, Fenway organist extraordinaire @jtkantor.bsky.social takes requests by Bsky (for free! But I usually make a donation to the Jimmy Fund when he plays mine), and can play pretty much anything. He's a real mensch, too.

I'll be offering free BEARDO workshops. We will be covering homebrewing, open source software, and Warhammer painting

I just want to talk about space and hot sauce and not worry about how many more people my country is going to kill today and if I'll be one of them.

When I was in Bavaria and Belgium for brewing school, I kept 3 varieties of El Yucateco in my bag at all times. As a result, I will drink for free if I'm ever able to visit my Central and South American colleagues from class.

Holy shit. Tsolakis's own restaurant group is rightfully considered a darling of the Boston restaurant scene, and it would be awful if this is true and ends up hurting 5hose restaurants

Vanna hasn't needed to physically turn the letters for like 20 years, and she still has a job. This would be so easy for baseball to do.

“Studies suggest youths are more empathetic and less narcissistic than in the past, as well as more open-minded and inclusive. Drug use is down, youth violence has dropped and teen pregnancies have declined.” It’s almost like panic abt kids’ wellbeing serve existing adult demands for control.

But on what hill?

In Fenway, a win streak
