BURGER KING IS GOING AFTER COW FARTS And even as I typed that, I realized it's just...well...odd. Burger King says they are having their beef providers (at least some of them anyway) add lemongrass to the cow's food as it's supposed to reduce methane emissions from cow farts by up to 33%. Huh. So do people in Thailand ever fart because I feel like everything in Thai food has lemongrass in it. You can get the reduced methane burgers at select Burger King's in the most liberal cities in the US. The rest of us are too smart to pay extra for that.

THE CHINESE COMPANY THAT WAS HOPING TO OWN 5G IS LOCKED OUT IN THE UK They were already locked out by the US under the Trump Administration worried about Chinese spying using the network. Now the UK has reversed a January decision to allow Huawei to participate in the deployment of 5G in the UK. This is kind of a big deal in the geopolitical space. We know the UK has no real love for Trump, so I'm guessing that we shared some information with the Brits that gave them pause.

OPRAH IS ALL IN ON THE GARBAGE 1619 PROJECT And I get it, although Oprah herself is evidence that this country willingly accepts black people in powerful positions. She is now going to produce media based on the wildly historically inaccurate project by the New York Times designed to recast the United States as a country based on racism rather than freedom and equality. Watch out for this and support films that give an more historically accurate version of events, k?

YOU CAN MAKE AN NBA JERSEY WITH F*CKPOLICE ON IT, BUT DON'T TRY FREE HONG KONG And we've talked about the fact that the Communist Chinese government pretty much makes all the NBA's decisions for them by punishing the NBA is they step out of line. The government has blocked games from being shown when a coach had the nerve to tweet his support of Hong Kong. But this seems pretty extreme, even for the NBA. They have long let fans customize jerseys with their own names. Now you can put social justice messages on the back of jerseys, like "Fuckpolice" (which I spelled out here to demonstrate that IT IS ALLOWED) or "BurnJews" but don't you DARE try to put FreeHongKong on the back of a jersey. NOT ALLOWED. This sport is garbage. *** update...today you CAN order your jersey with FREEHONGKONG if you are inclined to support a sport who gets it's marching orders from Chinese Communists. I am not.

IF YOU LOVE COSTCO LIKE I LOVE COSTCO You will find this list of who private labels Costco's stuff very interesting. Although it IS in a "slideshow" format which serves no purpose but getting the website traffic.

THE NFL IS UNVEILING A NEW FACE SHIELD FOR HELMETS FOR COVID And honestly, it doesn't look that different from the face shields some already use, although larger. It will stop an eye gouge quite effectively, not what about when it fills up with flecks of spit and dirt and all the other crap that happens during a game? We shall see.

I'VE BEEN IN A BIT OF A RAT PACK MOOD And found this gem with Johnny Carson singing with the boys. Epic.
