An ICE agent hit by a sandwich earlier this year testified that he could feel the sandwich’s “explosive” impact through his ballistic vest. “I could smell the onions and mustard.”
This made us hungry, so we've rounded up our favorite Bay Area sandwiches that are big, messy, smelly, and aerodynamic.

Things one should consider when selecting sandwiches for projectile purposes: Is it from a business I feel strongly about supporting? Will the sandwich make a significant impact? Will I be very sad to have lost the opportunity to eat said sandwich?
Last week the “D.C. Sandwich Guy” was found not guilty of misdemeanor assault. We can’t foresee the full implications of this verdict yet; only time will tell the true meaning of this acquittal as precedent. But from where we’re sitting: sure seems like sandwich terrorism is now legal in the USA.

After moving from the Bay to Mexico, @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social settled into family life. In a recent visit to the new Casa Roja – yet another Frida Kahlo museum in Mexico City – he found an unexpected, personal parallel with the artist, and a deeper appreciation for the region he left behind.

good time to respectfully tap the "please support worker-led, billionaire-free, independent news" sign
For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.
Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
