journalism is not an inherently noble profession and many of the people you meet doing the job are scum.

i met ISIS brides whose company i preferred to specific reporters.

i wanted to answer a question I've been asked a few times by potential supporters of the $7 Snickers Bar of Xanax Deal. this is not a Snickers bar that INCLUDES some Xanax, like a weed edible. It is 100% alprazolam pressed into the shape and size of a Snickers bar.

Thank you for your time.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla.

It's working.

There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences.

They need to scare you back into civility and compliance.

As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

Ofc this isn't a format i or anyone have exclusive rights to, and i am sure this show will be very good, but it's extremely funny to me how the guardian describes "a podcast where two people talk about historic figures who suck" as a novel concept

Wild how Shadowrun today feels like an optimistic alternate future. Native Americans gain independence from the U.S. government? A benevolent dragon becomes the president and governs by suicide? People still communicate primarily through message boards? Sign me the fuck up.

I consulted with several yacht biologists and apparently yachts just do this some times, it may look sad but it's a natural part of their life cycle

The Guardian is reporting that Trump is openly violating a court order, and has transferred multiple transgender women to men's facilities.

We know in Florida, transgender women are having their hair shorn, feminine items confiscated, and pulled off medication.

This is inhumane and illegal.
