one of my old man qualities is an unabashed love of grape nuts no toppings or add ins, cold whole milk, not heated the gravel of the gods
Due to connections I found about an American product called “Grape Nuts” which is a cereal that looks gross and has nothing to do with grapes or nuts. A strange people

"It’s a giant loss,” a CNN on-air personality told me following Amanpour's announcement. “It’s what sets us apart. This brain drain will be hugely detrimental. And yes, everyone believes it’s merger-related. And that it won’t be the last defection.” zeteo.com/p/amanpours-cnn-ex…

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.  Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is. I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately. The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.  The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

if netflix was the sole distributor of “Chopped” and “House Hunters id be a subscriber for life the platonic ideal of hotel room viewing
Netflix has spent the last few years telling investors that it was excited about its foray into video games. Today's earnings update has zero reference to that business.
