Is there any food with a higher delta in quality between the 80th percentile and 95th percentile than baklava? Like a good baklava is whatever, but an amazing baklava is to die for.

going by the decor, is this not TGI Fridays?

Someone on Twitter posted a photo of themselves doing a happy dance as they receive a hot plate of fajitas. Then "Raw Egg Nationalist" on Twitter retweets them, writing: It's incredible that these people exist, but they really do. These are the people who justify the demographic replacement of Western countries in terms of the variety of street food and how many different kinds of fried-meat-and-vegetables in flatbread they can buy.

today I saw a herring gull dragging a dead rat into the crosswalk while the cars were stopped so that the cars would run over the dead rat's body. Nature is beautiful.

The version of the survivorship bias plane that you usually see is the American one. This is the version that they use in Germany to illustrate survivorship bias.

I'm struck watching this what an absolute moron you would have to be for it to provoke any positive nostalgia at all.

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

it is important for me to occasionally clarify that I have been and will continue relying on this good-faith, clear, unambiguous promise from Elon Musk insofar as my Twitter posting behavior is concerned, and that my reliance is both reasonable and foreseeable.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?
