Team pineapple! But seriously, I don't get why pineapple in your typical Chinese resto sweet-and-sour pork is fine, but not on pizza. Is there a perceived exoticism?

Yeah, when I saw it on menus as a kid I was hesitant to try it. As an adult I tried it, and it's so good! I like other pizza toppings, too, but I will not turn down pineapple!

Also, by now, American pizza is...very American, and there's no Pizza Authenticity Council anyone answers to.

Maybe it's a regional thing? Here in STL, with a huge Italian community, you could get pineapple on pizza at the most very italian pizza places since I was small. What's changed? Or is it all Sicilians here or something?

Except, at least in STL, people--including VERY italian places--have been putting pineapple on pizza--and offering it on their menus--since forever.

Shower thought after yesterday's conversation--I wonder, what is the ethnic and/or class association that makes pineapple on pizza a thing that people lose their minds over?

That teenager swimming the Rio is not less of a human than your own teenager. That guy CBP rounded up, dumped in a cell in 110F heat, and deported without trial to Ecuador is your husband, or your son, but for chance. That family torn apart by evil immigration policies is *yours*, in another life.

Sure, Democrats are the lesser of two evils. But that gap in evil helps promote LGBTQ rights, climate action, clean air, abortion rights, science (not religion) in schools, and much more.

Well, I know at least one person who has been advised by their Dr not to get the jab because of their compromised immune system--not a person who is anti vaxx, or who would tolerate an anti vaxx dr, so.

I'm sorry you don't like it. I find it super delicious and I might just have to have some for supper tomorrow. I will take your share.

I line up for a covid jab just as soon as the authorities say I'm eligible for one. You should too, if you can. (I have friends who can't get jabbed because they're immunosuppressed. I selfishly do not want them to get sick.)
