the thing about the instant pot bankruptcy for me is that, yeah, it’s another private equity firm ruining everything, of course it is. but not only do they own instant pot, they own goddamn pyrex. PYREX! how do you run out of money while literally making pyrex lmao.

given that the new twitter CEO was in charge of various crypto initiatives previously, i believd the only moral course of action is to shitpost and misuse the platform so hard that we enact a tumblr-style loss of market value.

“very cool, very legal”. and unfortunately, “bad food restaurant” is a genuinely useful way to describe somewhere between 10% to 30% of a given neighbourhood’s businesses and it has changed my personal lexicon forever.

this is why i pirate some other country’s olympic broadcasts. nbc keeps trying to turn it into a soap opera when it’s already one of the most interesting shows possible on its own.
During the Olympics, NBCUniversal plans to deploy five heart-rate monitors among the parents of athletes. The results will be shown onscreen as moms and dads watch their kids compete — something that test audiences have loved.

yeah you might have a different view of this shit if you've had to help boomer-aged relatives move their entire vast collection of fiestaware (no, none of it is the radioactive stuff) out of a storage unit into their fucking hoard of a garage.
This is going to be a sad story for so many families. People are saving mahogany dining sets, breakfronts full of exquisite glasses and plates, and whole sets of silverware for their children who do not want, need, or have a place to put them.
