Duane Roberts -- the billionaire businessman credited with inventing the frozen burrito -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

In a statement, his wife, Kelly J. Roberts says he passed away peacefully in his sleep Saturday night, just days shy of his 89th birthday. He was surrounded by family and their three dogs when he died.

Fun fact -- his stepchildren, Doug and Casey Reinhardt, both appeared on MTV's "The Hills."

It was 1956 that he created the first frozen burrito and that helped transform the frozen food industry and introduced a now-ubiquitous item to grocery store aisles.

Bluesky has the horrible “Discover” tab, something that might be greatly improved by adding the “dislike” feature currently headed for a beta release.

Blocking early and often is the norm for Bluesky users encountering anything they don’t like, for any reason.

“Dislikes help the system understand what kinds of posts you’d prefer to see less of,” Bluesky’s blog post claims. If this turns out to be true, the Discover tab could finally fill a gap: in order to keep things fresh, there needs to be a decent place on Bluesky to encounter new kinds of content other than in reply threads. 

One user said - We already have a dislike button (it says "Block account")

There are many signs that your relationship might be over, and you should just go your separate ways. Or there's the passive-aggressive way.

A woman asked an advice column what to do.

My husband of more than 20 years gives me slipper socks with grippy soles. I hate them!

We live in a hot climate, so I have little use for them. They filled up my sock drawer and retraumatized me every time I touched them. I threw them away and they came back.

He gave me five more pairs at Christmas. They can’t be worn with shoes or out in public. They are synthetic so I cannot even use them to polish the furniture. I kept them for animal first aid.

I cannot be cool about these socks. They remind me of the horrible time I had in the hospital having emergency surgery. 

The response included the line, it may be necessary to have an even more direct conversation. A lint-tervention?

Earlier this year, Kraft came out with a pizza flavor of their Mac & Cheese. It was ok. After eating it, I wanted an actual pizza and the normal tasting Mac & Cheese.

Now....

Apple pie with cheese..🫢

Kraft Mac & Cheese is combining two Thanksgiving classics into one with new limited-edition Kraft Mac & Cheese Apple Pie flavor.

Sweet-meets-savory flavor that blends creamy mac and cheese with spiced apple pie for the ultimate seasonal flavor mashup. 

I will find this and try it for you..so you don't have to.

He's dancing through life in Bridgerton, Jurassic World: Rebirth,  and Wicked. "It's the honor of a lifetime," the 37-year-old said. "I want to say, Jimmy, thank you so much for turning it down so that I could be here."
