They have mistakenly given me the car keys today, so here’s a round up of things that caught my eye, besides the obvious #Brexit and Impeachment news…

The stock market continues to react rationally on a daily basis:

  1. …you know what the best bit of you doing today’s DOT might just have been?

    …the bit where I find out I’m not the only one who sometimes forgets to check the schedules time reads “AM”…so I did the whole ftfy thing…& thank you…

    • Hooray for Kesha the ND bees! Love the piece by Carlos Greaves.

  2. No. I thought sardines were the only thing I could not eat on a pizza, but wtf. No. Even cherry tomatoes is a huge stretch, but what nut job put cherries on a pizza and thought, “yup, this makes sense.” I was a pretty incompetent fast food employee in my own right, but cherries on a pizza, actual cherries, should have sent a red flag up in the pizza makers head and not have happened. Wild world we live in.

  3. The original “Hawaiian” pizza was ham, pineapple, and cherries. At least where I come from.

      • I don’t understand the pineapple on pizza hate. At our house, we do pepperoni and pineapple pizza all the time. It’s the only time I eat pig products. The vegetarian in the fam gets her side with pineapple only. We’ve been doing this for years. But, I will concede that cherries on a pizza is definitely next level fuckery..

        • I’m not a fan of pizza in general. But my vegetarian daughter makes pizza with Thai chili sauce, pineapple, and jalapenos that I like.

    • Were they maraschino cherries or an unsweetened cherry?

      • I have no idea. Just going by what my dad said about the pizza joints where he hung out in the 60’s.

  4. Those cherries look nasty. I love pineapple on pizza, especially with jalapeños! Spicy and sweet.

  5. Hawaiians do NOT put pineapple on pizza! I wish they would stop calling it that. Kalua pork, maybe but definitely NOT pineapple!
