What's really amazing to me about the congestion pricing discourse is congestion pricing will absolutely benefit this real estate exec. He'll pay $9 he can clearly afford and it will no longer take him 30 minutes to drive the mile he's unwilling to walk, it's a huge win!

Truly don't understand how anyone running a food publication could make a decision like this

This year I decided to make cranberry key lime pie. But then I found out I literally needed to do a high school science experiment to fill in a hole in the recipe.

The lessons here are that I'm still decent at measuring titratable acidity, and that I need to make better decisions.

Good pie, tho

Tucker's incredibly diminished now, but it's still worth noting: This kind of rhetoric is absolutely a justification for violence, the same way the rhetoric after the 2020 election was. (And of course he threw in a dose of his standard white nationalism too.)

Feels like a good day to post the single worst email to staff losing their jobs I'd ever seen before today. (Weird coincidence that the emailer went on to be an exec at Vice!)

If you want to know how the current leadership of the other site is doing, here's Linda Yaccarino with an excited reply to an account that is not Tracy Chapman retweeting obviously copyrighted video posted by a former revenge porn site operator

Something I've been thinking a lot about recently is how execs treated cord cutting like an inevitability, rather than something that happened because cable was a bad, expensive product (with lousy customer service) and now they're just doing the same thing all over again

I know they get talked about a lot here on the Internet and all but can I just say: Cats, man. What a weird fuckin' species
