Three major pizza chains went all in on delivery and copying each other and beating down their product to ‘close enough for pizza’
Now the gas stations have ‘close enough for pizza’ and are stealing their thunder.
When it’s ’close enough for pizza’ you don’t want more than a slice anyway. Why pay for a large crap full pizza when one crap slice can calm and kill that urge for a week or more?
I’m doing a thing that’s weird for me now— menu surfing.
I go into a fast casual, and order one of their specialties.
I visit again and try something different.sometimes the variations are mild, sometimes they veer widely
That’s not my typical modus operandi at all, I tend to find something I like and stick with it.
As opposed to systematically trying everything.
I wonder about the invention of Gin.
Hmm, what this moonshine needs is an infusion of juniper berries.
Really? Those spicy things on the shrub out there?
Look, bring me some juniper berries, ok?
Those Hollywood Space Thriller films that took place as the Apollo program was hitting milestones, yet still managed to look fake as fuck.
I did not always see gentrification as a dirty word.
Old unused urban storefronts becoming new business, with living space above grandfathered in to avoid newer zoning laws regarding living near work.
Unused warehouse lifts becoming affordable art spaces and inexpensive living space.
Those are examples of POSITIVE gentrification. Absentee landlords and tax shelters are not.
Not much to celebrate today for me. We were the first to implement liberal democracy at scale and it’s in peril. We have 17 weeks, but only 13 before most registration ends. Little time to appeal to millions of non- and occasional voters to vote blue… no matter who.
What is an innocuous broad question you can use as a litmus to ask your local Candidates to see where there philosophies stand?
Ask them about the separation of church and state?
Fifty years later, and this is what has been taken from us by the billionaires, corporations and corrupt politicians
They have stolen our joy.
Over the next fifty years our job is to take it back.
Onion ads are killing it rn
I have clicked on many many news links already this morning.
I have yet to find one that will let me read the article without at least a sign in.
Including some ‘you have read your last article’ pop ups from sites I visit less than once every two months.
Theory that the ram and ssd ‘shortage’ may be purposeful.
To force us into using thin clients, where all applications are subscriptions, our only storage is the cloud, we own no tools we rent them, and we cannot use any technology without payment, permission and surveillance.
Bill Gates tried to steer us there in the 90s for PCs. Circuit City wanted to rent us DVDs that self destruct after one watching.
Sold to us as ‘convenience’
It’s a trap.
May appeal to one who enjoys comic books.

My legend as heard or read regarding the naming of the loo goes as follows.
In streets of Paris, when the water closet was but a humble chamber pot, when contents were defenestrated from the upstairs bedroom to rid it from one’s home or shop, one cried the phrase ‘Gardez ‘leau’ (watch the water).
Which is why I like to hear the ‘Room 100’ story, as I forget it as non-canon.
One of my favorite podcasts changed their program art, for whatever reason, a couple of years back and I still don’t recognize it and overlook it in the queue.
I’m listening to some musical soundtracks from the 30’s.
Jeebus, they just spent a full ten minute reel on that song.
