just saying, if you hit your thirties and your skin flipped the fuck out, adapalene + dieux instant angel took out 90% of my issues and spiro cleaned up the rest

beginning to think cards against humanity is operating out of the satanic temple playbook

(sounds really clever & progressive to the average lay person, actually terrible people getting a lot of undeserved PR while fucking over just about everyone)

I texted this thread to my friend who loves cooks illustrated & this is an interesting wrinkle

Screenshot of a text that says "So what’s REALLY interesting to me about this drama, and I hate how stupidly inside baseball this is: Keith Dresser is the executive editor which means he may very be the BOSS of the other two."

it tastes like they've swapped butter for shortening and the chips are really waxy

I know this is a little startup-brained but they could make $$$ from selling ditch weed to anxious 30-somethings who want to smoke but get absolutely curb-stomped by most dispensary weed. I mean, not me. But other people. I heard.

you're walking in a permitted march with a punny sign, Anthony, not the black bloc

maybe I'm wrong but a lot of this "protest advice" feels like the lib equivalent of maga guys wearing their plate carrier to, like, Denny's

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

you put one masc-looking volunteer outside the clinic and all the gross dude protesters line up to talk really softly to them like "brother I'm just here offering love" when they were calling me a wicked slut three seconds prior
