I have heard this described as "It is a beautiful day in Egypt, and you are a horrible frog". Delightful.

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Peach the cat, a long-haired tan and white tabby, stares at the camera. Her head is cocked to one side and she is making a slightly irritated face (I interrupted her in the middle of a grooming session).

"In that case, I sentence you to
a lifetime of horror on Monster Island.
Don't worry. It's just a name."

"He said... It was just a name."

"What he meant is that Monster Island
is actually a peninsula."

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Also the rating system is often basically “was it five stars/excellent or should a service worker get in trouble?” and I am not interested in participating in that system. We had a pretty good system before: people gave feedback when they had a very good or very bad experience.

Amos Posner @amosposner.bsky.social · 1d

I think businesses asking people to rate every single experience has furthered this damage. We shouldn't have this many opinions about this many things, and we certainly shouldn't expect other busy people to care if we do.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats
