Do you guys think in 20 years we'll cringe at online sports betting ads like we currently do at cigarette ads?

Incredible. Jess has been on this story for YEARS. The victim's mother recently told her – in a quote that was shown to the state's Pardon and Parole board, contributing to their clemency recommendation – “They should let him live. I don’t think they should execute him.” The governor listened.

when I've talked about the concept of "vice signaling," that's a key part. the idea that everyone is secretly racist/a rapist/evil, and pretending otherwise is just a mask.
Gonna be something to behold as we realize like 40% of the country thinks 50 year old men raping 15 year olds is actually nbd and “something most men want even if they don’t say it”

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.
