I went to Sunset Grill yesterday, which used to be a cheap breakfast place.
They wanted $4 to add blueberries to pancakes. Maybe that's just basic economy, not tariffs, but unless you're gonna roll the blueberries down Ana De Armas's lower back and perspiration into the batter, I ain't paying $4 on a three stack.

Ana De Armas will only manage to cause revulsion in me nowadays. Anyone that, in the year of our fluffy lord 2025, CHOOSES to date Tom fucking Cruise, outs themselves as a complete piece of shit. "Oh yeah, just thought I'd date the 95-year-old sex-pest cult member that says horrible things about people with mental and emotional disregulation and willingly disowns family for not believing he's actually a superpowered alien spirit warrior."
She's either a vile person herself, or so incredibly goddamn stupid that all I can hear when she speaks in a movie is an echo.

Well, the answer to that according to everyone I know who lives off of Hollywood blind items is that most of these relationships are all performative and paid. But the trade-off is none of that excludes them all being vile and stupid.

4 bucks for some blueberries? They better be the best damn blueberries I've ever had for that price.

Oof, $4 for some blueberries is steep. I remember when I used to work at IHOP (a thankless job if ever there was one), it used to be $2 to add some blueberry compote to a short stack, and despite getting a decent amount, even that would send folks into a tizzy. You just know that, had you ordered them, it would've come out with like 4 blueberries on top. A buck a berry seems pretty right in this economy.
