quote [ A new startup wants to make meals as efficient and joyless as possible ]

quote [ Are there any fish in the picture? Then press the fish doorbell. ]

quote [ Alicja is just one of a number of white Instagram influencers who've been accused of changing their features to make themselves look more like black women. ]
