This "Allergy Guide" trend needs to DIE. Or it's going to make me die. Increasingly restaurants will NOT show an ingredients list, but instead a simplified chart made for babies that only list the "big five" allergens.

As someone with an anaphylactic reaction to sunflower oil and flax which are NOT big five this is useless to me. So I just can't know if your food will kill me or not. So I don't buy it.

The number of places where I can eat keeps shrinking.

(sesame isn't even on their guide)

@futurebird @Phlogiston1 @fifilamoura @PaulWermer In my brain, I am going to pretend Paleo dieters are just kittens running around in human suits. Thank you!!

These Biden policies don't make headlines, but this is what it looks like when government works for the people.

The cover of Daytripper is, well, kind of trippy. A man sits on a park bench, with a dog in front of him. Pretty normal so far, right? Except we can see his thoughts, which are presented in watercolor splashes of imagination. There is the precarious love he shares with an adventurous woman, represented by them both standing up in a boat. There is an image of a great modern city. And there us his trusty typewriter. Sure, he uses it for his newspaper job, but he writes about life and death; it's impossible to think about the beginning and the end without considering all the chapters of one's own life, and about what it all means.

    I just read a review of a children's book written in 1911 (the review is from 1913) and the person reviewing the book totally missed the point of the story. The whole thing went right over the reviewer's head.

    Tempted to write the latest, least expected bad book review clap-back in the history of humankind.
