Cheap workers’ cafe wins a Michelin star by mistake
The Bouche a Oreille, a small town in Bourges, central France (pictured), was mistakenly awarded a Michelin star. Judges had confused the cheap roadside cafe with a upmarket Paris restaurant.
It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

He’s also not seriously trying to exit the pedo-chudiverse, either.
If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

I'm sure Vance was furious to see who was carrying the flag.
That’s right, give him hell.

There could have been two Bococks on the team, but her sister didn't make it this time.
The highlight of the “athletes pronouncing their names for the Olympics website” is American alpine skier Mary Bocock, who clearly agrees it’s a pretty funny name
Can't remember the cycle, but I'll never forget the racist ad he cut about China.

Kind of silly to criticize the most swing state-specific thing about the campaign when the shift toward Trump was smallest in swing states
This is fundamentally dishonest and you should feel bad.

They are not several orders of magnitude safer. You can say they're on par if you want, but nobody not issuing company PR would claim this.
the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance
Outstanding picture frame, even though it features the wrong mascot.

I do like seeing this phrased in professional responsibility terms:
hard to tell how bernie lost those primaries with luminaries like these in his corner
They correctly realized that the swing states were tied and that they needed to pitch to every conceivable angle. Bipartisan campaign endorsements are a thing as old as time. This is the most tired and pathetic piece of angst out there. The whole thing was about how Trump was a threat to democracy.
Yet another economic hit for an event that's desperate to have cold and snowy enough winters to function as normal. It has that this year (snow is piled high the region) and now it has Trump's racist crackdown threatening it.

[Deep sigh] the dementia didn't make trump racist, he was always racist. The dementia is fucking with his behavioral filters, which is also why hes gotten way more profane in public lately. Happens all the time!
He’s going to be gone and the play is that they hope it’ll help midterm turnout that they seated a 37 year old to replace him.
And wonderful to see the staff at the albatross center taking such good care of them. Here, egg-weighing time. Which gives you a sense of scale for these massive, beautiful birds.
