Lately I keep hearing about how the most asinine things are cringe. Being earnest, posting pictures of your food, answering the phone too quickly. From the bottom of my heart, I hope you all know that the one and only thing that is ACTUALLY cringe is if you don't send me $15 on Venmo right now. ♥️

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting
Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

Look, I enjoy kvetching with people about airports, but quite honestly, I love flying. I love when the glove people touch my underboobs. Love walking on the little moving walkways. Love reading other people's emails over their shoulder and they can't get away. This is my home, my family.

Gay dating when you're not into astrology is like what happened to Hester Prynne, except worse.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most.

Where are the big names that proclaim themselves as brave, bold, as telling things as they are? The network figureheads, the Washington mainstays? Israeli forces have killed some 245 journalists in the past 22 months. Journalists who were also people, just like anyone else, and who had to become bigger than life, in order to justify themselves to viewers thousands of miles away. People who had been forced every single day to report on the devastation of their own land, their own families. People who would cover an airstrike that killed their children and, by sheer necessity, continue to report on the next strike, in the pursuit of convincing the world to act, of the hope of tomorrow being different. How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Regardless, the truth of the allegations is less important than the fact that they exist. One of the state’s most important sources of power is its ability to decide who gets prosecuted and who doesn’t. The Trump administration investigated Abrego Garcia entirely for their own political advantage. The indictment, no matter how sound, is the fruit of that poisonous tree. It is the product of political and moral corruption. And of course, it doesn’t really matter whether Abrego Garcia is guilty of this crime or any other. Sending someone to a foreign gulag does not become acceptable if you find out later that they committed a crime. The injustice has already been done, the Constitution has already been violated. All that’s left is legal technicality and political theater.

Sitting at a table full of people talking about how much they hate angel hair pasta. I am silent, alone in my appreciation for swallowing a mouthful of noodles without having to chew.

A movie called Sinners is a box office hit and then the pope dies. Coincidence? 👀 Maybe not. Venmo me $5 if you believe in JESUS CHRIST.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.
