Yup. Jeffrey Steingarten wrote about this in his 1997 book, The Man Who Ate Everything. Asian households have never stopped using it. MSG has always been awesome!
The FDA has labeled MSG safe, noting you'd need to consume over 3 grams to feel any negative effect. Most foods top out around 0.5 grams. The "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" scare that demonized it was built on junk science (and, well, racism).
I don’t really use viber but there are holdovers that you only chat with there (like dr’s secretaries) and it’s so angering how the app keeps shoving down chatgpt. I have opted out of everything you can, but it’s still an annoying popup. This should be regulated.
I keep on revisiting this. You might not realize the depth of what he said. In urdu poetry, there is a concept where poets view God as a lonely being, so lonely that He created free willed humans for company. Loneliness is a Godly trait & whoever enters its realm meets God there
Mas malawak pa reach nito kesa yung pageant. Shunga din nung organizers. That’s called shooting a gift horse in the mouth. No brainer to just accommodate her schedule.
Atty. Tony La Vina’s impassioned essays on the deaths of Rene and Divine have helped understand and put in context why I and the rest of us have felt so anguished by it.
His latest one is so eloquent in its grief and demand for justice.

It’s often desk editors not reporters that write headlines. This money header prob gets them clicks/engagement. Newspaper ad revenues have dried up bec of soc med so they have to compete for algos.
Niel Victor C. Masoy—why are you so fixated on Alex Eala’s prize money?
Almost every time she achieves something, your headline is about how much she earned and not her tennis. Write about the match and what that means for her career. Write about how she rises to the ocassion and how she transcends hope to every Filipino athletes looking up to her.
You’re missing the entire point of why people are invested in her journey.
Do better!
Love that Olivia Rodrigo has transformed herself into the archetype I can only describe as “child of a Gen X cool dad,” the only other representation of which we have in the mainstream being Finn Wolfhard and this Onion article
Melt with you was also huge with filipinos of a certain era particularly. I don’t think diane even knew what it was. Harvest Moon is a classic tho. Loved that album.
This Emmy winning Iowa news anchor quit because he has principles and morals and didn’t want to push the propaganda and lies.He deserves the best therefore I hope his future endeavors are successful.
This is me. It be me. I am, however, the mother. I was so addicted to listening to Pinkerton. Pretty much the same way I can’t stop listen to the entirety pf you look pretty sad for a girl so in love.
Olivia Rodrigo says @Weezer's Pinkerton "might be one of my favorite albums ever."
"I'm just such a huge Weezer fan. I grew up really loving them. They were actually my first concert when I was like six or seven, because my parents were really into them.
"And then I like, kind of in my older age, obviously in my early 20s, I fell in love with them again. I really fell in love with Pinkerton. I was like, 'Oh my god, I can't believe I hadn't heard this album.' I like grew up listening to The Blue Album and stuff like that. And then finding Pinkerton, I was like, 'Oh my god, my world is forever changed' ...
"I'm such a Pinkerton girl! t's not only my favorite Weezer album, it might be one of my favorite albums ever, that record."

I can’t fully explain to younger people how cool the internet used to be. We had open forums, personal websites, weird experimental pages, and chaotic corners of the web, before Amazon, Google, and Meta turned it into a sterile, closed ecosystem of clutter, and commerce.
