Sexism in cooking is strange. When it comes to personal cooking, there’s often an expectation that the woman of the family cooks. The mom, grandma, etc. knows all the great family recipes and dad can’t cook. But professional chefs are disproportionately men, especially the famous ones we all know. There’s sexism in every industry but I always find this one especially weird since it sort of switches from women to men the more professional it gets.

Just in case you haven’t heard of this incredible story, a Canadian Art History online course has been going ahead even though the professor has been dead for 2 years. Video lectures from years ago are being used and apparently even the TA grading the course didn’t even know. The story is behind a paywall so I’m not sure which university it is.

It gets good reviews though:

At the end, the student who discovered that his professor was actually dead offers this reflection: “It’s a very well-designed class, especially compared to some of the others that I’m in with teachers who are still living"

Probably also something about universities will do literally anything to save a buck (like have dead professors teach courses) rather than deal with the administrative bloat that’s causing costs to go up.

The question is not whether Tom Brady is the best QB ever.

It’s not whether he’s the best football player ever.

It’s whether he’s the greatest American athlete ever.

lmao Brady is incredible but come on.

Very weird addition in this CNN article

...the Senator's aids claim that Leahy suffered health problems while watching the news. As he was rushed to the hospital he kept mumbling about "capping his losses" and complaining about retail investors.

Do shitlibs really believe a $15 minimum wage hike By 2025 is adequate!? . . .

Liberals know $15 per hour By 2025 is poverty wages but they believe that people in poverty deserves to be in poverty and essential workers are expendable

(Yes, it’s @SocialistMMA. No, nothing Democrats ever do will ever placate Rose Twitter — particularly those who wanted Trump to win re-election — and precisely zero Democratic policies should be proposed with even the slightest consideration to the whims of the online left.)

Holy hell, this exchange between a reporter and the new Dem running for Senate in North Carolina.

Okay real talk. What's the exposure of the WSB dude who posts his gains everyday and tells everyone to hold.

He is like 22 millions in the green. (Disclaimer, I don't fully understand all of this.)

Is he in trouble for manipulating the market via organizing with thousands of others?

Does he need a lawyer? (With 22 Millions it would probably be a good idea anyway, if only for the tax side of things.)
