prob for some zest. Hey, someone put a picture of an oyster pizza, Pizza Plus has a blueberry cobbler pizza. We can have lemon.

No. And no oysters either. Some stuff doesn't go on pizza. It is not approved and you are committing crimes against nature by putting that stuff on pizza. I believe Dante described a place in the seventh circle of hell for people who commit such abominations. So top your pizzas carefully.

Like Jet's deep dish

Barley's is really good but can be hit/miss

Stefano's - remember eating it growing up. Decent.

Asheville Brewing - BAD

If you come this way again - Manicomio's is where it's at these days. And get some fresh garlic knots. The owner used to live in our building. Real New Yorker making real NY pizza. So good! Nice patio space too right across from Fine Arts theater.

Love all that for sure. And $1 popcorn. Their south slope location has a huge theater outdoor screen for sports. Just their pizza disappoints and it makes me sad. Luckily we got a new pizza place on our block last summer (PieZaa) and getting a 2nd one with a rooftop in the next month or two. I'm excited. Pizza is my passion and joy 😂

So many...rooftops. The hotel rooftop downtown and elevator rooftop are impressive.

We used to have Mgr Mtgs @ Biltmore Park Town Square. Honestly, there's a reason I weighed 220 in Asheville. Rocket Girl on tap.

Nothing beats Mellow on a cool fall day outside. First time I ever drank Sexual Chocolate 😍 and Bitche's Brew!!

Get woke people.

Clay misses the point entirely. That original criticism by Nichols is not about ESPN being woke at all. It's about her being protective of her own job but more importantly her criticizing ESPN (and other corporations are just as guilty) for attempting to hire one person or a handful of people that tick multiple boxes so that they can claim to be a diverse workplace while at the same time preserving their status quo. Heaven forbid they create a workplace that actually has diversity in gender, color, background and thought when they can claim a diversity win while also keeping it monotone and filled with people who share similar opinions by instead hiring one person to fulfill multiple diversity goals. Corporations do this all the time and it's why so little has changed in the American workplace when it comes to coveted jobs (ones that pay well, have status, etc.) despite progress in education and in other areas.

The source article is paywalled but the quote is read in the video here: Rachel Nichols: ESPN removes host from NBA coverage, cancels 'The Jump' - CNN

Going by the quote rather than the coverage of the quote, Clay's interpretation of the quote, or twitter's interpretation of the quote, in no way does Nichols say Taylor got the job because she was black. Rather Nichols appears to be criticizing the network for fulfilling their 'diversity needs' via the multiple box method and in doing so using one minority to take away from another minority. That's far too nuanced for twitter or Clay but there it is.

Nichols also suggested she's fine with someone else losing their job in the name of diversity. It makes her point hollow.

You know it's possible to create jobs? People don't have to lose theirs for someone else to have one. This is particularly true when it comes to shows. Yes, there are only so many time slots but shows can and do fall or rise on their own. Giving someone new a try in one of those spots isn't costing white males anything in the name of diversity or anything else unless you come at it from a mindset that you own all the spots and it should always be white dudes first and I don't think there are many of those types left (at least I hope not).

She had a transparently selfish response to it while betraying her own values. I don't mind her advocating for herself in the hard work she's done to get there. But she specifically suggested for her it to simply not be her job. Politics are irrelevant when you arbitrarily enact those values. No one is saying all white this or that.
