If memory serves Anita Bryant’s face was covered in Banana Cream Pie, I would’ve gone with strawberry or raspberry for the bloody effect, but sadly I was only a few months old when this happened so it wasn’t me.

It’s a slow-moving spiral: first their health, then their grades, then their future. Those for whom Covid looms very present are feeling forgotten, subject to pervasive skepticism and a kind of cultural fatigue when it comes to their illness.

The Vermont state senator in the Hitler chat group is playing the, "I am but an innocent smol bean" card.

Samuel Douglass hasn't decided yet if he'll resign: www.vermontpublic.org/local-news/2...
“My role in the group chat in question was a procedural one about bylaws and floor strategy. There were often periods of multiple days when I didn't check this group chat and I was unfortunately unaware of those comments,” Douglass said in a written statement sent to Vermont Public Wednesday afternoon. “I should've been more vigilant, more careful, and less naive about who I associate with and my digital environments.”

This is Chicago, armed fascist thugs pointing guns at unarmed US citizens.

Armed officers in military-style gear confront a group of civilians during a tense outdoor standoff; one officer points a rifle at a young man who raises his hands defensively while others shout in the background, with trees and houses visible behind them.

Several Federal Reserve Bank sites have already stopped fulfilling orders for pennies, which is putting some retailers in a bind.
The Penny’s Demise Is Leaving Some Businesses Shortchanged
Some stores are rounding transactions to the nearest nickel and encouraging customers to pay with plastic, citing the Treasury Department’s decision to phase out the penny.
