thinking about the time a cool Instagram fashion account asked me to name my favorite products and i didn't know i was supposed to name fashion products, so i said pigeon food because i like feeding pigeons and their followers were like "why the fuck do i need pigeon food for my outfit?"

The Instagram account Saint featured me. The first slide says: "Derek Guy - Dieworkwear. Derek Guy is a menswear writer who has written for The New York Times, Esquire, and Mr. Porter. He also runs a menswear blog called Die, Workwear"

One of the slides showing my favorite products. It's it's a big bag of Hagen pigeon food. The food is fortified with the vitamins and nutrients pigeons need.

Instagram user writes: "Why tf do i need pigeon food for my outfit." I replied: "this is what i can afford to eat after spending all my money on clothes ::sad face::"

Wrong gun stated, wrong bullet stated, and definitely the wrong caliber, the rifle they claimed the shooter used would've blown his head up; It would've been more graphic. The whole thing is fishy.

You can always count on legacy media to ventilate 'both sides' of fascism.
To ensure there is 'balance' between truth and propaganda.
To pretend that they are dispassionate observers,
rather than enablers of the demise of democracy.

You have to understand that there is NO accountability for ICE even in theory. You can't sue an ICE agent. They won't be criminally prosecuted for violating your rights. They won't be fired. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ICE IS TO RUN FROM ICE.

✔️ OK, we won't. We'll focus instead on what Republican ADULTS say, namely:
"I love Hitler"
"watermelon people"
"fa**ots"
"n–ga"
"1488"

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

I’m not an intelligence guy, but how is a front page NYT story “covert?” Aren’t we supposed to, like, NOT alert them? Or does “secret authorization” mean something else?
