I enjoy whenever an entire household is beholden to the whims of one cat
This animal just standing in the living room, screaming, while the human adults explain "Sorry, Gibby likes it when we smack his ass with a cardboard tube for 10mins at 6pm every day, hold on". That is good to me.

Lindsey fought like hell against Cuomo and for Mamdani and was the first person I saw clearly explain ranked choice voting during the primary. She shows up at the rallies and marches I shoot and clearly gives a damn about this city. Not my district, but I'm keeping a close eye on this one!

women do not want men who look like Andrew Tate, we want men who look like the ghost of Christmas present in The Muppet Christmas Carol, especially when he goes silver fox mode

28 BBLs later: society collapses thanks to a plague of undead butts
At 61 years old, I had lost volume and wanted my younger body back quickly. Donor fat seemed like the best option.

My favorite part of this TOTALLY NOT MADE UP STORY (SHUT UP IT REALLY HAPPENED) is when a white guy goes to an in person convention and is asked by several attendees, IN PERSON, whether what makes him special is that he’s black.

I began this story focused on the weird lies about Hurricane Helene but became very disturbed at how prevalent this pseudo-environmentalism is. The movement blocks real policy to curb climate catastrophes.
For @rollingstone.com I wrote about the mass national movement to ban chemtrails...which don't exist. The movement is one of the ways in which MAHA is taking over the country.

My primary feeling about the files is: we know. We've known since the mid-90s. If you sincerely believe that more evidence will result in any kind of justice for the victims I wish you well and hope you are right and I am wrong.
