Salt & Straw had a prosciutto and melon flavor last month. It was outstanding. Salt is magic.

This is heavy.

A few hours before this article was published Jason Koebler at 404 Media published something remarkably similar:

You were directionally evolved by monsters who resented artists’ ability to create value through pure expression. Mimicking the conjuring of that value was at once a parlor trick, then a means to undercut the livelihood of anyone not willing to explicitly and finitely explain the art they created (thus giving it metric to be measured by and value-assigned).

The wax ring and plumbers putty are set. Keep the caulk dry for 36 hours and try to not touch it or it could crack.

Based take from Gabriel Bell.

I remember when Hulk Hogan got hurt, but I never thought the entire act was a fake. I’d always presumed that it was a legit injury from a performance mistake because a dangerous move was either served or received incorrectly, and the marketing machine just used this turn of events to its advantage.

My little brother was genuinely concerned and sent him a letter. If the injury was faked, coercing young fans into a letter writing campaign is pretty shitty.

Convenience store.

Newsom is a conservative-sliding turd who is actively abandoning left-leaning causes by paling around with anti-trans bigots in a cynical and harmful attempt to ride the Overton Window’s continuing shift to the right.

Fuck that guy.

This is very valuable context.

For citations, the only references I see to “pronouns” in their github project is in a section called “Human language policy” in CONTRIBUTING.md (link). Here’s the relevant part:

In Ladybird, we treat human language as seriously as we do programming language. The following applies to all user-facing strings, code, comments, and commit messages: … Use gender-neutral pronouns, except when referring to a specific person.

That sounds pretty cash-money to me.

There’s one additional reference in a pull request discussing whether or not to use “we” when referring to recommendations of the engineering team (as in “we recommend” vs “it is recommended”). Minutia.

I’m not as interested in litigating this matter than I am in putting it to bed (along with any and all definitive citations and evidence such that I can refer back to this comment thread in the future when the question inevitably comes up again.)

I think this may be the issue to which you are referring:

While this is troubling to read about, this narrative’s lack of evidence or references keep me from accepting it at face value. Old mastodon chatter (and perhaps deleted posts or scuttled instances) may be difficult to retrieve, but GitHub discussions shouldn’t be hard to find.

So I’m withholding judgement for the moment.

UPDATE: Commenter lime!@feddit.nu wrote this terrific comment that provides confirmation of the above narrative, corrective action that the LadyBird engineering team has taken taken, plus some vitally important context of the entire kerfuffle. A+ work.

Ranking the bead track options of the Anatex Enterprise’s Classic Bead Maze

https://i0.wp.com/deiequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/CBM1310.jpg

• Yellow: A fine tutorial track for bead maze novices. If you have no idea where to start, this functions as a passable introduction and training option. There’s not much elevation to be found here, though you do get one brief vertical drop and a 180-degree direction change midway through the track, but this is undercut by the track not ending with this drop, forcing the player to trudge the bead along to its final destination. This track isn’t completely devoid of thrills, but they’re meager at best.
  • C Tier
• Orange: Less-refined maze fans may be excused for considering this their personal favorite. It does boast the most vertically pronounced track, both track routes end with satisfying vertical drops (including the single largest drop of all options provided) and the bead options, which we rarely discuss, are all the satisfying heavy spherical variety. But, despite all these superlatives, the fatal flaw of the orange track lies in the middle; the TWO vertical hairpin turns diving into the center of the maze field are buckets of cold water that ruin an otherwise terrific experience. Beads are hijacked from their high-flying dreams and drop coldly into this prison where fun goes to die. We all know this to be true as beads will inevitably stack up here, like so many dirty dishes in a lazy person’s kitchen sink, until all other options have been spent and you unwillingly are forced into the drudgery of pushing them through the pair of hairpins to their destinations. But, once again, the final drops do provide the user with genuine satisfaction; perhaps an early lesson in cold adult maturity for toddlers that life will be filled with grand ups and downs but they may not be had without hard-earned repetitive effort. These good times are served with a side of morality. You can’t ask for much more.
  • A Tier
• Red & Blue : These tracks are neither complex or satisfying enough to warrant separate ranking descriptions. They exist merely to fill space, offering all the fun and delight of a sliding puzzle piece CAPTCHA. With short track heights, it’s not uncommon for these tracks to be left untouched entirely during gaming sessions. I will give the red track slightly more credit for both it’s height and the choice to be routed through the Orange track’s hairpin vertical; a morsel of drama in an otherwise bland, uninspired endeavor.
  • C Tier and D Tier (respectfully)
• Green: When people remember their childhood bead maze experiences, this is what comes to mind. Undoubtedly sacrifices had to be made at the expense of other tracks for this one to shine as it does. Swooping playfully among the highest heights of the field, beads can often complete their full track circuit without the need to retract and re-extend one’s hand, this is the experience that designers envisioned, with each track rider capable of completing its journey to either end from the apex with a single flick of the finger. The green track is the pinnacle, a grand achievement in track design, both in form and function.
  • S Tier

The first season is pretty bad, but necessary to set up the various arcs.

Season 4 crammed the final two major plot arcs into it because they thought they were getting cancelled. But then they didn’t. Season 5 is almost entirely filler.

In fact, once you finish Season 4, I’d recommend jumping right to the series finale (last episode of S5) and watching that. Then watch Season 5 from the beginning and think of it as a spin-off show that didn’t go anywhere.

This was how I went through my last rewatch of the series a few years ago and it was perfect.
