Obama\u2019s was created by celebrity chef Duff Goldman. Trump\u2019s was commissioned from a decidedly more modest Washington bakery than Goldman\u2019s, and the transition-team representative who put in the order explicitly asked for an exact copy of Goldman\u2019s design\u2014even when the baker suggested creating a variation on the theme of Goldman\u2019s cake. Only a small portion of Trump\u2019s cake was edible; the rest was Styrofoam (Obama\u2019s was cake all the way through). The cake may be the best symbol yet of the incoming administration: much of what little it brings is\u00a0plagiarized, and most of it is unusable for the purpose for which presidential administrations are usually intended. Not only does it not achieve excellence: it does not even see the point of excellence.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve probably heard of Soylent, the liquid \u201cmeal replacement\u201d designed by Silicon Valley \u201cbiohackers\u201d intent on reverse engineering the human body; and you may, too, have thought to yourself, Fuck, that shit\u2019s just SlimFast for tech bros.
