What Else?

Please note, we will be dark on Monday, July 1, for Canada Day.

Kelly Ripa doesn’t like eating on TV. I don’t blame her. I have some remaining hangups around eating in public, remnants of a disordered eating past. It took a lot of time and therapy to even be comfortable eating out with friends and family. Whenever I see an actor eating on screen, I think that must be the hardest part of the job, and not just because they have to do it every take. The reality is, though, most of them probably don’t even think about it. Some, like Brad Pitt, have made a career out of eating on screen. But still, I’m team Kelly on this one. I don’t like people watching me eat! (Celebitchy)

When I first heard “hot rodent boyfriend”, I saw it connected to the guys in Challengers and assumed the term came about because those guys were weasels in the movie. I guess it means I’m old that I didn’t immediately connect it to physical appearance, because every guy the internet called a hot rodent boyfriend is an actor who frequently plays weaselly characters. But I guess it’s about having pointed features and “non-traditional” good looks. I! Am! Old! And if it IS about looks, yeah, it’s not very kind. (Popsugar)

I don’t like eating in front of other people, but I do like talking about and reading about food. Here Alejandra Molina dives into the use of verdolagas, also known as purslane, also known as the sidewalk weed, in Mexican cooking. It’s often the humblest ingredients that hold the biggest place in our cuisine and memories. (Eater)

WHAT is going ON in Alaska? An ancient volcano might be waking up, and now the rivers are ORANGE. Please don’t tell me this is a premonition about how this year will go! Last night’s debate was depressing enough! (Atlas Obscura)
