At the dog park, a man had two Labs, an adult and a puppy. When he wanted to leave, he sent the big one to get the little one and bring him back.

That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a Labrador retriever actually retrieve a Labrador.

INSANE MICHELIN CHEF GUY: In the past, I have perhaps been a bit hard on my employees and I apologize.

REPORTER: A former line cook says you rented a bulldozer and drove it into his house while screaming "this is how subtly you're placing parsley motherfucker"

CHEF: i now realize that was wrong

To mark International Women's Day, I would just like to shout-out the righteous anger of women everywhere.

Stay justifiably irate, ladies. 😘✌️

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

He was shoving a sous-chet in front of him, a young man who had put on techno music, a genre that Mr. Redzepi disliked, in the production kitchen. Far from the dining room, it was where unpaid interns worked
16-hour days, performing tasks like picking herbs and cleaning pine cones to adorn Mr.
Redzepi's celebrated New Nordic dishes.
Mr. Redzepi taunted the chef over and over as about 40 cooks, in short sleeves and aprons, formed the usual circle around the two men. It was not the first time they had been forced to participate in a public shaming, according to two chets who were present.
Mr. Redzepi escalated the attack, punching his employee in the ribs and screaming that no one would go back inside until the chef said, loud enough for all to hear, that he liked giving D.J.s oral sex. His co-workers stood in silence until he breathlessly complied. Then they filed back into the kitchen and returned to work.

Crap Happens is very funny even though it’s German and you all should watch it. No, really, it‘s actually funny despite being German. Trust me.

I stayed in the house for 6 weeks because Berlin was essentially encased in ice. We had gorgeous weather this week which coincided with a dear friend visiting and so I went to museums and restaurants and just had a lovely week.

And now I am sick. 😭

A van has pulled up next to my parked car. It has a large "Quantum Plumbing" logo on the side, with the slogan "phenomenal service!" below, and a cartoon of a strange gnomish bearded man with white pair and pointed ears holding a wrench in one hand and a glowing atom in the other.

I don't want to know what calls for quantum plumbing, but I guess I'm glad it's available if someone needs it.
