I have read many books that have made me uncomfortable, sometimes profoundly so, but I can not think of a single book that I regret reading. Banning books that make you uncomfortable isn't helping anyone. To be uncomfortable is to grow

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace
McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

Sometimes my yankee roots come out hard, like today. I had to make banana pudding for a luncheon, it got devoured and people praised it. I’ve never had banana pudding so I tried some… that shit is disgusting.

Realfood.gov's AI just told me to go eat Snickers and Tostitos.
Prompt: What brand of food are best.The "best" food brands are highly subjective—they depend on what you're prioritizing: taste, quality ingredients, health/nutrition, value for money, sustainability, innovation, or just pure popularity/enjoyment.
There's no single universal ranking, but based on recent consumer data, taste tests, sales trends, and expert reviews (as of early 2026), here's a breakdown of standout brands across key categories.
Highly Popular & Well-Loved Everyday Brands (High Fame + Positive Opinion)
These consistently top U.S. consumer polls for broad appeal and positive sentiment (e.g., from YouGov-style rankings):

Heinz (especially ketchup) — Often seen as the gold standard for condiments.
M&M's, Kit Kat, Snickers, Hershey's — Dominant in chocolate/candy.
Lay's and Tostitos — Go-to for chips and snacks.

I’m still reeling from a recent book discussion. We read a horror novel and one member didn’t not read it because she doesn’t like horror. Totally fine. She then just like… made a wild over generalization and said, as she is an expat in AUS, that people in AUS don’t consume horror in media.

This is because Netflix has a specific list of approved digital cameras and a specific production pipeline that ends up making everything look extremely same-y. Nothing else looks like a Netflix show, but every Netflix show looks like a Netflix show. www.vice.com/en/article/w...

Why Does Everything On Netflix Look Like That?
Even if you don’t know what to look for, you’ll probably be able to guess if something was created for Netflix just based on a few frames.

I think this is critical way to understand what is happening in this country—and not just with MAGA, but also for example with Silicon Valley, AI, and the tech-right; and with political pundits and the Dem party, etc. We have a national counter-reality content mill anyone can opt in to believing.

The right is producing content for what is essentially a reality TV show for a national fascist counter-reality that anyone who wants to believe can immerse themselves in and pretend is real (and use as “evidence” for decision-making) but it doesn’t replace actual reality that we can all still see
