I can't imagine fimding out I have celiac disease at any other time. It seems like every week we get a new gluten free option of a classic snack, and the knowledge a lot of restaurant workers put into preventing cross contamination and avoiding menu items that might not actually be GF is amazing

Dua Lipa reportedly ate a hot dog for the first time at October 7’s Yankees-Rays game. But how could that possibly be true? Vulture went back six years through the archives in search of a stray dog.

Is there a work of art that was created well before the current era that you feel explains Trump and MAGA and everything better than anything contemporary? For me it’s Assassins (1990) but I’m curious if other people have one.

Silicon Valley? more like, Solipsism Valley, amirite?

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
