Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

I went to the bathroom at a rest stop somewhere east of San Bernardino and someone had left a real life Chick Tract in the bathroom.

Guys, you won’t believe what just happened

I think that’s how I would have felt but they gave me so many pickles on my burger and that’s exactly what I wanted.

I LOVED the tie-in book series (The Three Investigators), and it did not occur to me how weird the books were until later. In the first (?) book, the kids are too young to drive, but they win the use of a gold plated Rolls Royce with a chauffeur by guessing the number of jelly beans in a jar.

Verdict: that was pretty good! I was startlingly hungry, today was extremely long.

I know it’s basically the same as other burger places but I have never been and every time I’m in California, I’m too busy to just go get fast food.

Hello I am at an In-n-Out for the very first time.

Wait - the corner of Olympic and Cloverfield, Santa Monica? Ladies and Gentlemen, that is almost exactly the location where the old Buffy offices stood. I believe we may owe thanks for this one to the Hellmouth.

Oh no, I’m so sorry.

Turning around to all the other people in this restaurant to go “hey, do you guys know about this???”

A paper plate of translucent rice rolls around meat and cilantro. There is soy sauce and chili oil on top.

I really love rice rolls/cheung fun but I only ever get them at dim sum and it turns out that they are a whole different experience from a restaurant that makes them all fresh.

They can’t necessarily just walk I to a store and do it but I think sometimes they can at airports etc? I have no desire for a Birkin, or any very expensive handbag, but I do a deep dive a few years ago because I love arcane sets of rules.

Apparently it’s a lot easier for men to buy one than it is for women, too—I assume because Hermes wants them to be hard to acquire for prestige but men buying them for women keeps the prestige.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

rip to everyone interviewed by chotiner for their hubris but im different. and better. maybe even better than chotiner.

This is a perfect fun fact about a job.

The Round Britain Quiz (panelists somehow solving impossible lateral thinking puzzles) is the most soothing radio show I’ve ever heard.

Lewis said it's more likely that the strike was the result of an error. Satellite images show that the school and clinic buildings were both once part of the base. The school was separated from the base by a wall between 2013 and 2016. The clinic was walled off between 2022 and 2024. Lewis believes it's possible American military planners had not updated their target sets. "There are thousands of targets across Iran, and so there will be teams in the United States and Israel that are responsible for tracking those targets and updating them," he said. "It's possible that the target didn't get updated." The Pentagon did not immediately respond to NPR's request for additional information about the strike.

Everyone is sharing a summary of the school bombing in Iran that includes a screen shot. The screen shot is apparently FROM THE VERY AI PROGRAM we are upset about. Here is a different screen shot, from the actual NPR story, by @gbrumfiel.bsky.social and colleagues

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

Some very old women asked about the sweatshirt and he had to explain it. (Explanation: they are a band and also he likes cake.)

At hotel breakfast and I just saw a man wearing a Cake (the band) sweatshirt and holding a plate of four different small cakes.

Nooooo

ME TOO (dentist)

There’s an article I wish I had pitched to The Toast about trying to figure out the rules of cricket by reading queer British novels (or watching old TV, I never worked this out entirely) but I never got around to it in time.

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

Try the Chantelle Rive Gauche!! Pre-reduction it was the only bra I would really wear, and a bra fitter at Nordstroms told me that the people who like that bra don’t like other bras.
