My rage has manifested as an entirely new state of matter.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

That is, federal data you have previously used that has disappeared.

I have a relatively insatiable compulsion to learn things. And it feels so fucking good to be doing that every day with an essentially unstoppable faucet of more amazing things to learn that I can turn on whenever I want. And people to TALK about it with. I get new powers every day. It's the best.

I glanced down at the message.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

It's even more than bring frogs slowly boiling in a pot. Its like the frogs all have PhDs in thermo and fluid dynamics and are sitting there comfortably in the pot explaining to you what boiling is and how many states of matter there are and telling you hiw much hotter the pot will be tomorrow.

A very big Onion announcement:
The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.
It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.
Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.
