New snack at work being shared as artisanal low calorie food. “Pork Clouds”. Same fucking pork skins you find in any gas station east of the Mississippi.

different but similar... (thread)
a couple months ago, a fellow millennial colleague and I tried to explain the 'whimsy' fad of the early 2000s to our gen Z colleague. we were like, you don't understand how bad it was. we participated in public pillow fights — we did graffiti that said 'you are beautiful' —— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020
to this day I cringe when I see something with the same spiritual circuitry as that fad, like 'little free libraries' or strangers in opposite high-rise buildings sending messages to each other via signs in their windows— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020
I think that fad feels shameful to me because it's a confluence of things I don't believe in anymore — pushing intimacy instead of letting it grow at its own pace, performing community/connectivity instead of building it, seeing boundaries as obstructive instead of protective etc— fangmeli (@pangmeli) March 31, 2020

it's a performance alright - I mean re: all this this nauseating happy clappy bullshit in the UK. You voted for the tories now it is the time to take your medicine. Good things can grow in communities but this feels so forced and awkward and dishonest. Just crude propagandist denialism at a time when they should be putting all that energy into building gallows!

The package design and branding messaging on it are not appealing to me, but Max Tundra does not know what "purple prose" is. This example doesn't land anywhere close to "purple prose".

The Southern Impact Team were excited on Friday and making preparations to celebrate National Onion Day on the Saturday (yep - apparently this is actually a thing).Whilst on patrol in the Arbury; hoping to find more onion enthusiasts, they instead came across a car linked to County Lines Drug Dealing.Whilst the officers had a "spring" in their step, the occupants of the car appeared to be peeling rather nervous.The vehicle was searched, with several wraps of Class A drugs recovered, a large amount of cash, and more worryingly, a TASER disguised as a torch.Despite the pair protesting their innocence shallot, they were in something of a pickle and arrested.There were tears from one of the suspects, and the officers didn't want to keep going onion about it so transported them to Parkside Custody.During a strip search the driver of the vehicle was found with a further bundle of Class A wraps in his pants, which didn't quite onion ring true with the rest of his story.Both were interviewed and released under investigation.#OpRaptor #WeHateDrugsShallot #AllCardsOnTheVegeTable #RingThePolice #PeelySilly #InAPickle #DryYourEyes #StrangePlaceToKeepYourDrugs #DontShineTheTorchInYourFaceByAccident #SOUTHERNIMPACTTEAMFuck offffffffffffffffffff

For a very brief moment I thought that you meant Amazon the company rather than Amazon the rainforest there bizarro and I got a flash of excitement at the existence of a venture capital monster that could destroy them. Then I felt sad when I realised the obvious actual meaning.
― brain (krakow), Monday, 31 August 2020 14:32 (three years ago) link
Of course, a venture capital monster that could destroy Amazon (the company, not the rainforest) would probably be de facto even more horrific than Amazon themselves, but still it was a nice little daydream for a split second.
