Me stepping into the PB&J discourse:

There should be at least a 2:1 ratio of peanut butter to jelly, but no more than a 4:1 ratio. The only exception to this rule is if one is using *two* end pieces of bread (rare, obvi) and even then, jelly should still not exceed 40%.
Grape jelly will always be the standard, but strawberry is permissible. Apricot and other variants are needlessly deviant and reflect an absence of stability.

Crunchy peanut butter is chaotic. Fancy pb is too fussy. Smooth, generic pb is the standard.
Don’t buy the fancy peanut butter from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc. Yes, it is healthier, but you’re making a damn PB&J. You’re already rolling the dice with your cholesterol; you might as well have the fatty shit and enjoy life a bit.
Never, ever, ever use the swirl product in which the peanut butter and jelly have been pre-mixed. That is sacrilege.

Squeeze jelly bottles are not only acceptable but preferred for convenience.

Smucker’s Uncrustables are disgusting and clear evidence of late stage capitalism.
Let’s talk about bread:

Both whole wheat and white are fine, but you have to accept you’re gonna get an occasional side-eye for the wheat.

Croissant substitute is orgasmic and should be used as often as available.

People who like the potato-based bread are clearly sociopaths.
NOW… if you really love yourself, you will try generic, smooth peanut butter applied at about a half an inch in height between two Eggo waffles (use a spatula) that have been toasted to a firm but giving state.

Microwave that for 15 seconds. Drizzle in syrup.

You are welcome.
Listen, what I’m about to say is especially controversial:

PB&Js should be eaten within 10 minutes of being prepared, tops.

I am highly suspicious of people who pack PB&Js for a lunch that is several hours away, let alone half an hour.

This is self-sabotage.
Okay, I’d like to make an amendment. She is correct on PB and marshmallow spread. It is the kinky equivalent of the PB&J, but we are fine with that.
Listen… this is gospel. Respect the process. Give both spreads the attention and separate utensils they deserve. Using one knife is gross, you goddamn heathens.
Oh, I completely forgot:

Those of you putting peanut butter in the fridge instead of in the pantry are psychotic.

No, I don’t care that you read somewhere it’s the thing to do. It is always wrong.
Hey, I’m an open-minded person on this subject. I am willing to consider any opinion on this that happens to agree with my own.

Sorry, not to be an asshole, how do you remake Whitney Houston's performance in this?

I'm not necessarily opposed to "reimaginings", but sometimes, with some originals, ya gotta leave it alone.
I'm lucky to have grown up in an era of movies where there was so much originality and verve in big studio projects. I feel like younger folks are getting the short end of the stick with attempts at microwaving the movies we had.

My mother's side is from rural Kentucky. My father's side is from rural Oklahoma and Texas. I grew up in Central Texas trailer parks way out in the sticks.

And let me tell you: this comes across as incredibly condescending toward rural folks. Please don't parrot this nonsense.
Do rural families of all income levels have to get creative with sickness? Sure, maybe a cold medicine like Robitussin is used outside of its direct intent. But reasonable adults out in the country aren't taking animal drugs as a preventative measure. Please stop this.
You know what I'm really tired of? Journalists who didn't grow up in conservative areas holding people in those areas to an insulting level of adult awareness and then having the gall to pontificate about coastal elitism. Please shut the fuck up. I beg you.

Today’s recap:

A dozen House Republicans decided to write an open letter to Yahoo CEO Marissa Meyer + other tech leaders regarding their concerns about tech. It was published Friday.

The problem, of course, is that Marissa Meyer hasn’t been at Yahoo since 2017.
That is so wild to me. Do you know how many people looked at that behind the scenes and gave it a thumbs up?

I am super late on this, but I just started "The White Lotus" and saw @natasharothwell!!! 🥳🎉
For the record, "The White Lotus" passes the Lasso Test. 😌
I will assert this as many times as people will hear it:

Connie Britton can do no wrong.

This news bit about Matt Damon only recently deciding to stop saying "faggot" after his daughter wrote him a "treatise" on it just makes me sad. Geez.
This is the kind of thing forces me to wonder how much homophobic and transphobic shit "progressive" white cis straight men say behind our backs, and that just really sucks.
"I'm glad he changed and that his daughter helped him change"

Yeah, I get the sentiment, but this is super 101 stuff. This is like 10+ years ago kinda stuff. And he knows better.

Sorry, it just doesn't make me feel very good.
