Exactly. Which is why there are articles about "chef's favorite places to eat", which sounds like an insider thing. But the reality is most chefs smoke and deaden their tastebuds, many shoot up heroin, and they work ridiculous hours and end up devouring street junk food at 4am. It kills the...

Turn around and let me Grêmio you. Delpie loves Candyman

I'd like to see him do that to a croc. They're connected though. As much as I detest it. And this goes before Adele donned Bantu knots for the Notting Hill festival and Americans went apesh*t with their own cultural lens for what they deem acceptable or not in the UK. American toxicity seeps...

We're gonna need a big tube of lube

It will take 6 months, but somewhere between 3 to 6 points.

Given what I saw in the Napoli streets in May, I'm kinda surprised the people who went all coconuts and posted this TikTok haven't been Camorra'ed in some suburban garbage heap by now. There is idolatry of him in the streets, with kids wearing his Zoro mask in town. I can't imagine many of...

But subtle racism, especially subtle racism that is eventually confronted or addressed after the offense, gets zero shares. This is just gamified attention hacking. The ignorance you keep, and the information you withhold, are essential components to getting attention and distribution. The more...

In other words: every few years as political theater the US momentarily goes bankrupt.

Actually, it kind of does. I'm not saying that race-baiting is always the case where racism is suspected. But there are some real dubious details here. One is that it came up 18 months after the fact... and that much further away from when BLM protests were marching the streets. Strange...
