one major improvement i've seen in the world over the course of my lifetime is the emergence of lightly-salted sweets. i just swung by a bakery to pick up a chocolate chip cookie and it had the slightest flaking of kosher salt on it. that shit went crazy. i think we're doing great in that department

I continue to be floored by the decision to destroy Google search in favor of bullet-pointed snippets that have a personalized aura but either don't address what you're asking or get it at least half wrong if they do.

“Cold” has committed another war crime. If you’re curious the piece takes four paragraphs to mention Israel’s role, only vaguely alludes to it once, and makes zero mention of the mounds of evidence starvation and exposure are a deliberate part of Israel’s strategy www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/w...
