As a Kanye fan from the beginning it was hard for me to not go to that last show. I have literally been to every show but at what point is it too much? I spent years defending him and wild shit he’s done and said but it’s now at the point of not return.
The soy sauce packet in your takeout bag isn't soy sauce. The biggest maker, Kari-Out in New Jersey, lists water, salt, hydrolyzed soy and corn protein, caramel color and sodium benzoate. No fermentation, no brewing. It's made in a couple of days by boiling defatted soy meal in hydrochloric acid, neutralizing it, then adding color and corn syrup so it looks and tastes close enough.

Kikkoman and the Japanese government went to the UN food standards body years ago and asked that the chemical version not be allowed to use the name soy sauce. The hydrolyzed protein industry and the USDA pushed back and it stayed. The brewed ones say naturally brewed on the label. If the bottle doesn't say it, it isn't.

She held such profoundly anti-Black racist views (which were documented in her book) that she was forced to apologise to save a major exhibition.
Her views were so racist that they edited them out of the English translated version to save her brand.
Girls need to understand that the whole point of having a boyfriend is to exploit his labour as an assistant, which should allow you to be even more fabulous
