The internet appears to be losing its collective shit over the demise of something called the 'Choco Taco'. I've never had one (and never heard of one prior to this) but it appears to be an ice cream treat shaped like a taco.
I have no objection to the idea, just the name. To festoon ice cream with chocolate and nuts and stuff it into a taco-shaped 'cone' and call it a taco is an abomination. Just to be clear-
Taco:

NOT a taco:

There goes a marquee ice cream truck memory. You're as bad as the guy who told me tom petty was dead, now. I didn't need to know that shit, let me continue to live in ignorant bliss thinking that tom petty and chaco tacos are still out there, somewhere.

Everybody here knows about the No Gun Ri massacre, right?
Hundreds of Korean civilians, mostly women and children, killed by the US military.
It's the 72nd anniversary.

Clarence Thomas quits his teaching post at George Washington University in DC after student protests, even after the university said it supported Thomas still coming to teach.
Apparently Thomas couldn’t handle any dissenting opinions.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I really hope unspeakable things happen to the judge who said this. I'd volunteer if someone can get me his name...
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Prince Charles accepted £1m from family of Osama bin Laden
Prince Charles, 73, is said to have held a private meeting with Bakr, 76, at Clarence House in London on 30 October 2013, two years after Osama bin Laden was shot dead by US special forces at a compound near Islamabad in Pakistan, according to the newspaper.
Bakr and Shafiq bin Laden are half-brothers of Osama, related to the founder of al-Qaida through their father Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, a Yemeni-born billionaire.
There is no suggestion that Bakr or Shafiq bin Laden has sponsored or been involved in acts of terrorism.
A source close to the charity said after a thorough examination of the issues, the trustees concluded that the actions of one bin Laden family member should not tarnish the whole family.

US Vice President Harris managed to ignite a right-wing temper tantrum with the following comment.
‘I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are “she” and “her”, I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.’
I’m happy Republicans have yet another insignificant item over which to clutch their collective pearls.
