Someone on a Discord pointed out the irony of Time magazine celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pokémon after having run this weird, Japanophobic article in 1999 that made the game seem like this insidious threat to American children.

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

I was just on a walk and saw the most amusing hat. If taken at face value, the man wearing this hat apparently instills a great fear in the many species of fish — a fear perhaps only rivalled by the longing his presence promotes in women.

Legal US residents from around the country are being arrested and flown to concentration camps in places like El Paso. Those who manage to find legal help, get a court hearing and get released are released outside the camps, often thousands of miles from home, with only the clothes on their backs.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives.
Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.
