The most incredible thing about this story—to me—is that is was commissioned for a mall. Of all things. And in Flint, Michigan. Of all places.

Maybe they were trying to avoid a clichéd image choice. But articles on this topic generally use a shot like this that demonstrates the road is literally coming to an end at the pier.

The article is about Route 66’s final stretch from Pasadena to Santa Monica. So, it isn’t *completely* random.

You know the wheels are really coming off of EVERYTHING when *National Geographic* pairs this headline with an image of Pasadena.

So much nicer clicking on headlines that describe exactly what I’ll read haha. Glad I did with this one because I’m usually hesitant even to try cooking this type of fish.

@RVLara23 Seriously, I don’t think people understand what a false economy it is cheaping out on tips. As opposed to the bargain of heavy pours when you tip well.

She’s a content creator, it’s her body and there’s nothing wrong with this.
I’m just getting hung up on the pure logistics of almost two guys a minute without even accounting for changeovers and breaks—like you’d need a couple drill sergeants with stopwatches to orchestrate everyone.

Okay, if anyone has a right to outrage-fundraise right now, it’s Mark Kelly.
But I’ve had to reply STOP to Mark Kelly text pitches from no fewer than THREE (3) different numbers in the last day. Which is starting to make me a bit hostile to the wrong person.

I appreciate the Warners pushback against the fascist Ellisons (and their Kushner +1) because—regardless of actual reasons—this echoes its history as an early and staunch opponent of Nazism.

Maybe it’s that I grew up with Trader Joe’s and understand its appeal even I’ve never been amazed by it.
But—by contrast—I’m UTTERLY BAFFLED by Aldi, which feels to me like a supersized bodega. The only thing missing is a cat.
