Readers added context
Most food goes through machines such as this plantautomation-technology.com/articles/types… Organic natural meat such as pork also goes through processes such as this. meat-machinery.com/meat-processin…

There is so much tribal knowledge in the gay community that straight men will never know. Someone should really tell this guy. Never. ever. challenge a skinny Jewish man to a dick measuring contest.

When iRobot bought Seaglider, it was pink. The Navy veteran who ran the M&A stood up in front of our (mostly male) team and said “First thing we’re going to do is change the color!” to applause. We made it yellow and then quickly discovered why the Seaglider team made it pink.

Wild. This leaked email from Peter Thiel really doesn’t jive with my understanding of his politics that was mostly incepted into my brain by the media.

Some facts from this article: * 5 people took $4M worth of ambulance trips over a five year period * The city spent $92M on emergency care for 162 adults over 8 years. * 16 of them almost $1M/yr each * When someone enters supportive housing, their cost of care goes…up 352%.

It's been over two decades since SF adopted the "housing first" model for homelessness. While it serves some well, it fails the most vulnerable. Here's how we got from good intentions to bad outcomes. growsf.org/research/2025-…

I feel like this is on the cartoonist for making the eyes far more…anticipatory than one would expect if they’re mooning Santa as a FU.

In our traditions, the guy with the most votes gets to walk in front. Biden: 81M Meghan Markle’s Father in Law: 0 Biden walks in front.

Roomba was killed, hundreds of my former coworkers lost their jobs, a 58 year old founder lost the company he started in college, all because Lina Khan’s personal antitrust framework is “I hate tech companies.” Now she runs Mayor-elect Mamdani’s transition team.
