Sometimes I buy food to just HAVE it, in the house, and to know it’s there, and that I'm prepared in a food-based emergency. A bit like responsible people who keep a fire extinguisher under the sink. Just in case.

politics
While I'm sure your political commentary is indeed incisive and cutting and generally luminous, maybe hold that brilliant analysis back for a day or two. One thing at a time.

I'm pretty sure I would eat bugs all the time if I was convinced they were delicious.

HAVE YOU BEEN OUTRAGED BY THIS YET? Unfortunately, you're probably angry for all the wrong reasons.

A new interactive map tracks "hate speech" on Twitter over the past year, and the results look pretty much how you'd expect. Which is exactly why I'm suspicious of them.

A Canadian psychologist says that sharing photos of your food on social media may signal a "deeper medical issue." I can't make this stuff up.

Vagina-heavy television, bright eye shadow for the inept, subscription box obsessions and jewelry made from vintage wax seals. ALL SO PRETTY.

This is the part where a bunch of dudes hate me for laughing at their non-bonered penises.

I don't know that I want to live in a world where kids can't occasionally blow stuff up by accident in chemistry experiments. And not get charged with a felony for doing it.

I don't know about you guys, but for me this one is getting filed under "Why didn't I think of this first I COULD BE A MILLIONAIRE RIGHT NOW."

Hey, nothing like trying to make your college campus a better place and getting rape threats for your trouble.

Vikings, canvas bags I can't kill, the joy of sprouting, prettiest cookbooks ever, and how the brain perceives an illusion. ALL FOR YOU.
