Are people still on TrumpTok?

The lessening influence of the American auto industry in Mexico is blatant. I see one American car per nine European, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cars. Way to go.

Excerpt from J.L. Carr’s A Month in the Country

Hot take: turn Atlantic Avenue into a pedestrian mall extending the full length of Brooklyn with streetcars running down the middle, instead of the GTA map that it is currently. @mayor.nyc.gov

Excuse me but why the f— are curtains so expensive? Is there a curtain mafia that has cornered the market, making it impossible for people to by rectangular pieces of cloth at a reasonable price?

I’ll never forget the time that Coinbase ruined their self-custody wallet by introducing Base and forcing us to use Base network. Awful.

Is it possible to fetishize kdramas? If so, guilty!

Have NYC food delivery services gotten significantly worse? It sure feels like it.

Why are rich white fascist oligarchs so angry at the world?

The ongoing ineptitude of the Democratic Party never ceases to amaze me as they continue to give the Fascists carte blanche to destroy the world order.

More DJT hypocrisy

I see your Winston Churchill and raise you a Ulysses Grant.

Anthropic says Pentagon's "final offer" is unacceptable The company is facing a Friday night deadline to comply or face potentially huge consequences.

About fucking time someone stood up to this fascist surveillance state. www.axios.com/2026/02/26/a...

It’s too bad that younger generations will never experience a world where diplomacy takes precedence over armed conflict.

Let’s call #climatechange what it really is: environmental genocide.

Yo, New Yorkers. Shovel your fucking sidewalks.

Yo #industry does not kink shame lol. It kink…celebrates?

You want a baby. Is it ethical to choose surrogacy? The line between medically necessary and elective surrogacy isn’t as tidy as people assume.

This is the most late-stage capitalism thing ever. Imagine a world where rich people pay others to have their children for them. That’s enough internet for me today.

Culinary Class Wars contestant Loner in a Hole in the Wall

Culinary Class Wars contestant Iron Arms

Really liked these two early on.

Couldn’t agree more. Desperately wanted to see Brewmaster Yun and the solo bar owner make it to the end.

I also loved the comic book guy from season 1. Overall, season 1 was far stronger for me.

I’m doing Celibate February. Who wants to do it with me in a show of solidarity?

Watching #CulinaryClassWars s1 and s2 has made me realize that I’ve lost my passion for deep #creativity and need to find it again.
