The internet is losing its mind over a journalist who’s never heard of Panda Express

NEW YORK - Have you ever experienced meeting someone who is unaware of either a popular song or food dish? Their ignorance is palpable. It’s a feeling that leaves those in the know both infuriated and jealous at the same time. The internet is experiencing that right now, after excerpts from a local New York City news article went viral in which the reporter, who writes about the opening of a new Panda Express location, makes it seem through their writing, that they’ve never actually heard of Panda Express before. The article was so baffling to one Twitter user, Alex Lasker who tweeted snippets of the piece on Twitter writing the caption "absolutely losing my mind at this article about the new east village Panda Express written by someone who has never heard of Panda Express in their life."The screenshots show an article from local Manhattan newspaper The Village Sun, in which the reporter describes their interest in a new restaurant they describe as "a self-described ‘fast-casual’ Chinese restaurant.""As for Panda Express, it describes its fare as ‘Chinese Flavors With American Tastes,’ if that makes sense.

Jackson water crisis: Residents told to keep mouths closed in shower as problems persist

JACKSON, Miss. - Roughly 150,000 people are still without safe drinking water in Mississippi’s capital city days after Jackson’s water system partially failed. The situation is so dire, Mississippi officials are telling residents to shower with their mouths closed."You can shower or bathe, but please make sure in the shower that your mouth is not open," Jim Craig, Mississippi’s Director of Health Protection, said at a Wednesday news conference.The city water system partially failed early this week after Pearl River flooding exacerbated longstanding problems in one of two water-treatment plants.Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba said Jackson’s water system is troubled by short staffing and "decades of deferred maintenance." He said the influx of water from torrential rain changed the chemical composition needed for treatment, which slowed the process of pushing water out to customers.A city news release said the main water-treatment plant had "challenges with water chemistry" Wednesday, which led to a drop in output of water.
