I don't eat at Dunks that much to begin with - mostly if I'm on the road and it's the least bad option - but going MAHA is absolutely the way to get me to keep driving.
The Dunks "Protein Menu" makes me angry. I'm so tired of right-wing coded vibes-only food trends.

Happy Valentine's Day 🤍
Here's a love story of sorts, probably my most low key published story, about a student of multiversal travel essentially having a bit of a Before Sunrise with an ex who isn't his ex (who is from another timeline) in one of many similar NYCs.
Of All the New Yorks in All the Worlds - Reactor
A student of multiversal time travel slips from  one version of New York to another, discovering that love may transcend timelines, but so too can heartbreak…

It's good to have the legal victories but this is not an admin that believes in rule of law.
NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.

The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.
