Orly Minazad is a freelance writer and regrets it every day of her life. She moved to the States from Iran in 1991 with her family seeking better opportunities only to waste them earning a Masters in Professional Writing degree from USC which no longer exists, cost a lot of money, and for which she has nothing to show. No, she is not bitter at all. Why do you ask? Oh, you didn’t, ok. She lives with her husband and son in Los Angeles where she spends the day loading and unloading the dishwasher.

I saw this 10 ways to enjoy Cacio e Pepe list and thought how is that possible? It’s literally just cheese and pepper on pasta and it turns out I was right and it’s just a list of different foods to put cheese and pepper on. Not mad at it. (Food Network)

Pack your BENGAY, my fellow elderly Millennials. Blink-182 is headed to Coachella. (Vulture)

I know we’re all supposed to make fun of Conservative Dad for making Ultra Right “100% woke free” Beer but he’s kind of a genius for making money off his own people’s stupidity. (New York Post)

In what world would anyone want a musical cabinet? I’m going to assume the designer Hemmo Honkonen clearly does not have children. (Core77)

Finally, a sound answer to whether or not you should have a separate loofah for your butthole. (Defector)

For video game fans, New Zelda trailer just dropped. (Kotaku)

For maple syrup, pancakes, sausage, egg and ramen noodle fans, new Cup Noodles Breakfast just dropped. (Nerdist)

I’m really glad irrational and probably damaging beauty standards are catching up with men in this study examining the aesthetic appeal of a scrotum. (Boing Boing)

Jonah Hill is, as usual, up to no good. (Pajiba)

Researchers used UV light to uncover hidden chapters of the Bible that conservatives will definitely use to ruin people’s lives in ways they weren’t able to before. (My Modern Met)

I get the appeal of flavored water but I don’t get the #watertok trend that acts as if this is a new phenomenon and needs almost 3 minutes to explain. (Eater)

What Even is Eurovision?

I’m done pretending to know what Eurovision is. When I hear Eurovision, I imagine Europeans, who are a different species than us, doing strange musicals on stage wearing ridiculous costumes. Maybe I’m conjuring up Will Ferrell in the Eurovision movie that I never saw, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. I don’t know if I’m right or wrong…
