A couple of years ago, Eminem and his producer Denaun Porter recreated an EPMD album cover, and it's kind of an amazing image of car bloat since the 80s. Admittedly Eminem's 5'8" and the EPMD guys are both >6', but somehow I don't think that is what makes the difference

298 full-sized bars gone by 7:30. Now I ate 2, my Dad ate ten or more over the last couple days, and for the first hour parents in costume got bars too until we realized we were going to run out... So our neighbours count of 265 is probably definitive. Actually down a tiny bit from last year's 280.

Cannot express enough appreciation for the teams *flying through a hurricane* while not being paid.
NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

Double the ad buy. Get that ad running everywhere, all the time. And, the Govt of Canada needs to go to US Court, because not even the conservative Supremes can say tariffing over a TV ad and hurt feelings is about national security.

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“
who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
