For example for 10 bucks they have a Mojo pork that they sell by the truckload to their latinx customers. But it’s an over-salted, gristled and fatty mess. I bought it once, then again 6 months later to see if they changed it. Nope. Selling something with 2,000 mg of sodium is an assault.

Here in Florida Publix has about 14 meals ready to eat. All but one of them is pretty bad. I just don’t understand it. it can’t be that complicated

Do you ever wonder if this country is ever going to be able to find consensus about anything again? It sure doesn’t look that way. And gifted writers and social analysts are so few and far between, I think the best of our civilization is slipping away without much significant comment.

I find it hard to believe that major grocery chains haven’t fully realized that meals ready to eat are a sector they can own, if they’d just a produce decent variety of meals at a reasonable price. Without the delivery charge overhead, they’d have a major market advantage

Hey educators over 50. You’ve seen a few student bodies in your time. Are you finding students today are fully engaged in learning, or are they just going through the motions in the hope that it lands them a decent career? Was it much different early in your career?

I hope things like this will start to dampen some of the Bluesky conspiracies out there. They’re not building a stealth network to steal our precious bodily fluids. They’re really not.

Can anyone recommend one of these oximeters? There’s too many to choose from and I don’t feel like doing any research about something else this week. Except for asking this question.

Why must there always be a downside to everything? This condition is just awful.

Body feels like it was run over by an entire stair-stepping class wearing steel-toed boots. Had I known covid was this much fun, I would have gotten it years ago.

How fucked are we? A couple of months ago I told this young Gen-Z neighbor couple that they couldn’t be bystanders; they had to get informed and start voting. So today they can by to say “we really heard you and started tuning in. It’s horrible what they’re doing to Trump.”

Arggggh

When the extinction level asteroid finally comes, all the warnings are going to be behind paywalls. I’m really starting to hate the Internet.

It’s a remarkable how Mattel re-engineered the history of a doll to make it seem like it was a social good all along, even if for decades it was considered an absolute icon of sexist, stereotypical horseshit that made body shaming popular for over two generations. Now we’re supposed to love it.

I’d say good morning, but I’d be lying. About mine anyway. As I was told it might, this Paxlovid creates an ongoing aftertaste in the mouth that is probably similar to what monkey piss and owl shit smoothies would taste like. This is not going to be a fun week.

Everyone I know has this romantic idea that everything’s going to work out okay. That democracy’s going to prevail in the United States. But they have no plan B if that hunch doesn’t pan out. This is what worries me.
