Waffle House truly is a gem within America's deteriorating restaurant industry.
They are so committed to reliable service that FEMA uses the "Waffle House Index" (restaurant operational status) to gauge how quickly a community can rebound from a natural disaster.
When a disaster occurs, Waffle House deploys cooks from outside the disaster zone to take over local restaurants and keep them running. Local employees get to stay home and tend to their family while response teams keep the hungry masses fed.
You have to appreciate the brands that defend quality, service, and employee welfare over short-term cost cutting. Costco, H-E-B, Home Depot, and Chik-Fil-A also embody this ethos.
Anthony Bourdain died on this day eight years ago and him describing Waffle House is still the single-most important description of America that has ever been articulated.
Miyamoto Musashi believed:
“You should not have a favorite weapon.”
Don’t become dependent on one method, one identity, or one tactic.
Adaptability wins.
Some striking notes from @AlexBerenson's talk on Marijuana at @Hillsdale (https://t.co/MbZLJvDigC):
- Almost 20 million Americans now use cannabis daily, surpassing the total number of daily alcohol drinkers.
- A recent study found that cannabis users under age 50 are over six times as likely to suffer a heart attack compared to non-users.
- Following widespread legalization in Canada, massive studies showed rates of psychotic disorders rose by 60% among teens and young adults.
- A recent study in Ohio analyzed drivers who died in car crashes between 2019 and 2024. The data revealed that over 40% of these deceased drivers had THC in their blood.
- Cannabis is highly addictive both physiologically and psychologically, with up to 30% of users meeting the criteria for addiction.
- Biological data, notably identical twin studies, heavily supports the conclusion that cannabis functions as a gateway drug.
The evidence suggests that we should oppose de-scheduling and legalizing marijuana, for the sake of public health and safety.
@kojimaicmatters Horror cinema is often inevitably Christian in theme and message. To depict the truly evil is to acknowledge the good that stands in contrast.

May 2026 is turning into an unreal month for horror with BACKROOMS, OBSESSION, HOKUM and PASSENGER all releasing within weeks of each other and every single one bringing a completely different type of nightmare.
