I saw the Cambridge Starter Pack to help make Bluesky more hyperlocal and got v jealous, so I made a Somerville version for people who live in/talk about Somerville.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

The look between Dell Griffith and Neil's wife at the end of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is super suspect. They dated in high school, but broke up when Dell went off to college. They are afraid to tell Neil lest jealousy consume him and ruin his homecoming Thanksgiving meal. That's canon now.

Market Basket was lit just now. The most important shopping evening of the year and the whole place is chock full of people who have never been to Market Basket before, who may have never once seen groceries.
I have bathed in the luscious bedlam and come out the other side warshed pure of my sins.

@jcsalterego.bsky.social @sifu.tweety.fish Likely they hadn't put it out yet, but I only ever use salted anyway because I never want LESS salt than is in salted butter. Who am I to control this? The Salt King of Salty Mountain? No thank you, I trust the food scientist at Kate's.

Lots of embarrassing food injuries in this thread. Going in the other direction, everyone agrees the most honorable food injury is a mouth burn from French Bread Pizza. Stouffer's gives its moltenest pizza to its bravest soldiers.
A person's (legit excruciating, not mocking their pain!) post about getting a huge welt and lacerations from an egg hucked at highway speed has me wondering about the most embarrassing food to be injured by. My mom once burned her forehead badly with a flaming marshmallow, might be up there
