The creator of ICEBlock is suing several Trump officials for saying the app “incites violence,” leading to it being unduly removed from the Apple Store. “The U.S. government used its regulatory power to coerce a private platform to suppress First Amendment-protected expression,” the lawsuit states.

it is similar to the trick conservatives are trying to pull with the birthright citizenship clause. take something whose meaning is absolutely clear from just a plain reading of the text and transmogrify it into something that says its opposite through obfuscation and esoterica

the profit margins aren't as good for this as they would be for most glass that i do but the artistic limitations that come with something like this are JUST right for my artistic development; i think i will probably work out some new techniques just with experimental freedom

I don't see why the University of Oklahoma should, under its current administration, continue to enjoy accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission.

Here’s why you shouldn’t pull your punches as a writer:
A big part of the appeal of a book is how dedicated the author is to their idea.
That crackling energy only comes from compulsion, the true driver of creativity.
Restrain it at your own peril.

This is why they've all got weird fucking body shapes.
For instance, the traps and delts are extremely androgen sensitive. They will respond first, fastest, and most visibly, to steroids.
So you'll get a guy with the traps of a weightlifter but his legs look like he's never done leg day
