I could quibble about the simplistic message, but instead I'll just sit in the warmth of Nat King Cole's voice and enjoy his friendly encouragement. "Pick Yourself Up":

theory: the inclusion of the famously complex character for biang (𰻝) in Unicode three years ago has lead to an uptick in interest in the noodles due to the character's powerful memetic potential

are biangbiang noodles trendy/popular in the US right now?

context: I live in a medium sized US city that has no Chinese food (partly because racists drove all the Chinese people out of town a hundred years ago) but the last 2 times I've gone to a bigger city I've went to a Chinese place and found biangbiang noodles on the menu (and ordered them because they're great)

is this a coincidence or what? I don't remember this being a thing ten years ago

• How to track the protests posing a risk to your company’s assets with Feedly AI Keep up with protests, riots, and strikes across the Web What’s New – Feedly Blog by Gaby Zedan / March 29, 2023 at 02:30PM Tracking the ever-changing nature of protests is a daunting task. Today, we are excited to release two new Feedly AI models: Protests and Violent Protests. They help security analysts track riots, strikes, and rallies that pose a risk to a company’s assets and employees. With these AI models, tracking protests related to specific geographies, socio-political events, or corporations becomes more streamlined and efficient. Curious about how it works? Here is a quick tour: TRACK PROTESTS WITH FEEDLY AI (remote)

There's also that one episode where a Siren that targets most other men by appearing to them as a (female) stripper chooses to approach Dean as a male FBI agent instead.

Dean actually fathers a kid with a random woman in the early seasons but mid-series Dean is not beating the sublimated gay allegations

This is a show that has previously joked about fans writing incest fics about the male leads so I have to assume that there's a certain intent behind giving Dean a series of oddly intense male friendships
