The thing about cooking is that, while it isn't hard, it does require forethought, some amount of creativity, an understanding of cause and effect, and a bit of regard for how your actions and choices will impact the experiences of others.

Turned on The Price is Right and in just a couple minutes have seen several obviously gen-AI images that the show is using for graphics.
A genuine bummer! This is a legacy show with a budget!

Idk if this is just what the algorithm is showing specifically me, or if it is representative more broadly of who uses Threads, but the little things on my IG feed where it tries to get me to click over to content on Threads have sure been full of people breathlessly defending the Wicked movies.

Wicked 2: It's fine!
Less uneven than the first one. The highs aren't as high, but the problems aren't as frustrating either (but maybe that's just because my expectations were tempered by having seen the first one).

There are many possible turning points that could have kept us off the road to the Where We Are Now, but an under-discussed one is the Obama admin's decision to feed the newly-formed Bush-era DHS federal police/surveillance apparatus instead of smothering it in the cradle.

New Orleans food is unreal, and not even just the "New Orleans" food, because everybody else still has to compete. I had a sausage sandwich and borscht from a Russian take-out window in the back of a punk bar and even that would have beat almost any other meal in any other city.

I mean, I know I do not under any circumstances "gotta hand it to em," but I actually do think it might be true that the Sysco-ification of major restaurant supply chains and the move to minimum-viable-product industrial agriculture has made chain pizza observably worse than it was 25 years ago.

The fact that this is just one paragraph from a book that is hundreds of pages long that are, presumably, just like this, is a testament to the scope of human potential (derogatory).
