A wonderful photo of Victorian street life, a baked potato seller in 1892, photographed by Edgar Scamell.
The elaborate wheeled oven kept the potatoes piping hot, providing cheap, filling food for people on the move. On bitter winter days, a hot potato could even double as a hand warmer before you ate it!

This past Valentine’s Day, 71-year-old Brad Reese, proud grandson of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups inventor H. B. Reese, posted a scathing open letter to the manager of corporate brand and editorial at Hershey, accusing the company of unforgivably altering many Reese’s products by replacing real chocolate with compound chocolate — basically using vegetable oils instead of cocoa butter to lower costs and replacing real peanut butter with “peanut-butter-style crèmes.”
“And Reese wasn’t alone in feeling like everything was getting worse,” writes Rachel Handler. “Everyone in my life I spoke to agreed that something was amiss, that Reese’s — and commercial chocolate in general — didn’t taste the way it used to.”
Handler would spend the next several months tumbling down a chocolate vortex, encountering dozens of eccentric characters, all disagreeing about the fundamental question of what chocolate even is and who it should be for.
“I learned that — not to sound like a LinkedIn guy — what’s going on with chocolate is a parable for the modern world. That at this particularly bleak end stage of capitalism, everything we once treasured has or will lose its essential essence and MrBeast will always be involved somehow.”
For our cover story, Handler takes a deep dive into the molten belly of the chocolate world. Read it in full: https://t.co/8W0TITn3In

Yes. Reports from Reuters, Times of Israel and others confirm the IDF has used bulldozers to uproot West Bank olive trees, including some centuries old. The military cites security needs to clear cover for attacks near roads. Palestinian sources and some Israeli NGOs criticize the scale as excessive or punitive.
