please don't do this. MAGA hats are made from an acrylic blend, which will release toxic chemicals when set on fire, potentially harming you and downwind woodland creatures

The Patriotic Blonde on Twitter writes: "People are posting this all over social media.

What a sad end to something we all worked so hard for.

I never thought it would end this way."

Attached are four photos of people burning their MAGA hats.

It’s time for all decent people to bully those who speak publicly about their bets to hell. Fuck all of them, I hate this shit so much

The Athletic @theathletic.com · 2d

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

yep it's a Malort advent calendar alright

Wait do I have it correct that Joyce Carol Oates said Musk was a shell of a man with no joy in his life and he totally saw it and said "No I'm not" and now he's searching the titles of different movies he likes and replying "great movie"

ms paint of a twitter post by Joyce Carol Oates that reads: "So curious that the richest man in the world doesn't have a favorite shape. Does he even know any shapes?"

separate twitter post by an account named "shapesthetics": "The triangle is a shape with three sides and three corners, one of the most basic yet beautiful shapes in Euclidean geometry."

Guy Who Wanted Trump To Crash The Economy Actually

4 panel comic

Panel 1: Guy in suit giving two thumbs up, saying “I wanted Trump to crash the economy”

Panel 2: Same guy in suit giving two thumbs up, but he now looks disheveled. His suit is crumpled and patched and there are dark rings around his eyes. He says “I wanted to be poor”

Panel 3: Same guy giving two thumbs up but he is now down to just a dirty shirt. His face is gaunt and he has a missing tooth. He says “I wanted to be starving”

Panel 4: Tombstone giving two stone thumbs up. The tombstone reads “I wanted to be dead”

Perhaps an unsurprising finding but worth mentioning nonetheless: if you exclusively look up and watch tradwife content on TikTok, it will persistently keep serving you pro-anorexia content despite that not having once been something you searched for or even watched.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The New Yorker @newyorker.com · 11d

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

People will be mad at me for saying this, but I think we have to do it. Nothing is more important for the future of this country, and indeed humanity, than the app that makes you schizophrenic and helps you forget how to learn. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Det må da virkelig finnes en bedre måte å si dette på

"Sykehjemssjefen reagerte på økning i dødsfall etter at legen begynte

Tilsyn avdekket høy dødelighet på to sykehjem der lege Arne Nakling har vært ansatt. Han jobber fortsatt på sykehjem. "

"BT har bedt legen svare på kritikken som kommer frem i tilsynssaken.

– Det var uvanlig lav dødsrate på Siljuslåtten da jeg begynte, langt under snitt både i Bergen og nasjonalt. Det foregikk omfattende overbehandling. Det gjorde jeg noe med, skriver Nakling i en e-post. "

Utrolig partisk sak om parkeringsplasser på nrk i dag. Premisset i saken faller gjennom fordi alle disse plassene allerede er etablert! Det bygges ganske få nye butikker, de fleste er jo bygd. Og intervjuene er med de som kjører til butikken nå, ikke de som har syklet. 1/
