My dumbest hobby horse is that I'm convinced the "brussels sprouts were bred to taste better" story is essentially an urban legend that at best wildly exaggerates an underlying true story. It's very weakly sourced and all of the evidence I have found goes against it.

The headlines are still covering the cyclosporiasis outbreak from lettuce, but let's talk about a different summer, long ago. The headlines in Bavaria would have called it "summer diarrhea" & it was killing babies. Enter our hero, Professor Theodor Escherich of the Julius Hospital, Würzburg.
Every time I see one of those horrible AI restaurant flyers I find myself wondering who would possibly look at that and say "yes, this is what I want my customers to see. this represents my life's work. I will stake my financial future on people seeing this and wanting to eat the food"
I don't know about "best" but this is a pretty amazing run: The Head on the Door Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me Disintegration
What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
The immense power of Marvin Gaye's voice is the only thing that could possibly make a song called "You Sure Love To Ball" sexy

The balls retract when not in use to protect them from snake attack. they then drop down for rapid cooling when action is near. Hope this helps
I don't understand how men can wear super short shorts without their dongles dangling out. Is there ball tape or something
It's weird how traveling (stress?) makes your body react. For some reason I got a few nose pimples this week, and I've had almost none for quite a long time. No changes to my skincare or makeup routine, same products, etc.
I have posted this panel so many times but it remains great. "That is hard for me, Crystal..." (and again great work from Buscema)
It wasn't *half an hour*. Maybe 15 minutes. 20
marcy: *researches natural sausage casings for half an hour and tells me the history of the National Casings Corporations, the types of artificial sausage casings, beef sausage casings and why they're shorter, how large sausage casings like mortadella are made from large intestine mucosa, etc.*
Vaguely watching an old Dragon Quest V speedrun while recovering from traveling and I am mostly just going "waow this music is good" and imitating the combat sound effects with my mouth
Ooofa doofa am I tired. Also apparently I can't check in online for my flight tomorrow so thank you Alaska for giving me something extra to be stressed about

They might put your picture on here soon. If you don't shape up.
"This is a completely anonymous deposition, so you may want to redact the name of the film. That way it could be any filmmaker who piloted and co-designed the bathyscaphe Deepsea Challenger."
"You may also be familiar with the work of my ex-wife, who made a movie about surfing bank robbers who dress like presidents. This is not the movie she won an Oscar for, which to be clear, is a thing I have also done."
I have arrived in the land of fruits, nuts, flakes, and AI billboards
Flight delayed, chilling at the gate. PDX could use more comfortable seating
Woke up early anxious and can't get back to sleep fml
Flying tomorrow (for work) and the relative lack of anxiety I have about it has somehow managed to transmute into its own source of anxiety. "Why are you just sitting around enjoying your evening? Surely there's something you need to be feverishly trying to get ready!"
I like Mamdani a lot but I also know that if just about any other Democrat made a big deal about "cutting red tape" they would be absolutely savaged as a ghoulish neoliberal who wants to let corporations feed poison ice cream to your children
What if Democrats stopped obsessing over labels and Republican lies and embraced a mission of being the party of “good government that helps people“? Feels like we’d do a lot more winning. And helping people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
