the turks and armenians both claim to have invented pastrami and the armenian prelacy issued a statement about armenian primacy, with the phrase "just because the name of a food is turkish does not mean it's turkish"

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

I love carb balance tortillas, but check those nutrition facts, especially if you're making bean burritos with them.
Oh no apparently fiber has replaced protein as the internet food obsession and these influencers will overhype it so much without any warnings they’re gonna have people shitting their brains out.

Any teachers out there? Ramping this back up again and figured I would advertise.

I am on the National Weather Service National School Outreach Team. We are composed of various NWS meteorologists across the country that give school talks about the weather. We can use just about any online platform.

But still teaching?? Nauseating. Imagine being a young woman in one of his classes and having to know about the pathetic gutter misogyny he was emailing to his convicted child sex offender friend under a decade ago. Imagine being *anyone* in one of his classes and having to know that!
Breaking news: Former Democratic treasury secretary Larry Summers is “deeply ashamed” of his years-long communication with Jeffrey Epstein and will be “stepping back from public commitments,” he said in a statement Monday night.

In 2012, I had an interview with two interviewers at an R1 when, halfway through the interview in the hotel room, the toilet flushed and a third person emerged from the bathroom. And then, the three proceeded to debate the semantics of my dissertation... without me.

And that story was nothing.
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

And I mean, I have plenty of stories about being treated like I can't know what I'm doing because I'm a woman. Or men thinking I must be the DBA's secretary.

But it's the stories where I was stuck in a room full of men making it clear women are not actual people to them that really left a mark.

All things equal it is pretty funny that he campaigned on the one thing that could bring him down because he thought he could bully his party and his base into dropping it at the snap of a finger. Like this wasn’t foisted upon him, he CAMPAIGNED on it.
