The workshop that makes all the toys for global distribution every year, for ridiculously cheap (unto negligible) cost?
...And people didn't somehow piece it together that the whole North Pole 圣诞老人 operation *wasn't* Chinese this entire time??
willful blindness, people...

Ngl the “where’s the seasoning” internet era was insane because most peoples definition of “seasoning” was literally just onion and garlic powder.

I typically roll my eyes at land use based explanations for various phenomena but it turns out that Japanese convenience stores are so good pretty directly because there’s enough demand in most places to justify high quality centralized kitchens
A lot of it is a country small enough to manage single sandwich factory. But particularly UK is world leader in sandwich bread technology, someone I know was deeply involved in the bread production process for a recently viral UK sandwich and it’s an enormously technical process lasting months.

Tbh of all the terms in economics that differ from the colloquial use, “reserves” might be the worst.
“Oh, so that’s all the material a country owns, yes”
“Well, no”
“Well at least it’s a stable figure that alludes to how much of the material is in the ground”
“Well…”
“Oh, so that’s all the material a country owns, yes”

Tbh ethnic and gender essentialism are really underrated as pillars of the current conservative moment.
"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

Something I can instantly clock in food styling is that if a pie recipe has a butter crust and the crust doesn’t look like shit in the picture, it’s faked. Butter crusts taste amazing but they are not holding whatever design you put in them. You’ll get the kragle

Very beautiful “uhm actually inflation is the *change* in prices, which is down” works exactly well for Trump as it does for Brandon
Is the Trump economy good? No.
But do people feel like they are winning anyway? Well, also no.

It’s very funny how Anglo center left parties are the parties of stuck up technocratic elites when they never actually consult subject matter experts, rather law school professors and consultants

The predistribution people are right about the politics being much more popular the thing is that it just doesn’t work at all lol
This is another thing I had to cut from my piece - the minimum wage is best understood as an anti-poverty measure *for single or childless couples at the start of their working lives*. But it's not a lever that helps most people struggling to make ends meet. Only cash transfers do that.
Why the two-child limit has to go, in a chart.

Late Soviet Union core let’s go
After two infants died, the Louisiana Dept of Health under the leadership of the new incoming deputy director of the CDC, delayed notifying the public for months of a whooping cough outbreak. Instead, he ordered DOH to stop promoting vaccines. Pertussis is currently a national health crisis.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

There’s a fairly random aspect of fame, I.e., if you’re trying to be famous you never know what gig actually will catch on and define you forever, but it must be weird for the one-off Seinfeld actors who accidentally stumbled into being a cornerstone of the western comedic cannon.

The weird subplot here is that the only form of production everyone agrees is always harmless is plant agriculture, which, like, lol.
this is a story about farming that they have decided to make about datacenters. the amazon rep called them liars directly and they just print it and then return to insinuating all sorts of shit

Kinda chuckling at the idea that a national champion in one of China’s most international cities wouldn’t have fairly cosmopolitan values
Global warming deniers and fossil fuel shills in the West spent decades supporting Big Oil’s attempts to kill the electric car.
Now, they blame ‘gender neutral corporate speech’ for the industrial decline they caused.
If you fall for their lies, you’ll fall for anything.

Tbh it’s interesting how a lot of people suggest that the US poverty lines formula of spending more than 33% of income on food is bad because food is a lot cheaper relative to other necesities, but none suggest defunding SNAP in favor of Medicaid or housing assistance
