It’s so cool to teach right near the police gun range. I am completely desensitized to the sound of gunshots.

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".
![One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested.
Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away.
House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.”
Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests?

House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7uvcqt45oqlutlrtgx7bpodq/bafkreie7yqxb4cj2t4gxftiqsno5wgk2kczb5vbtj7wh2b2u5sjtqtdrku@jpeg)

Some of y’all need to lay off of the cheap, acerbic, synthetic smelling oud. My nostrils are burning every time I go out. Invest in quality or choose something else.

Traveling with a chronic illness is such a balancing act. I want to see and do everything, but need to rest. Then I feel guilty for not making the most of my time even when I’m ready to collapse. At least Paris has plenty of cafés.

If New York, an objectively cool city, gets a cool mayor instead of the abject worst mayor imaginable, what could happen to us in sort of crappy cities where you can't get a good bagel or slice?
We could maybe someday have sort of crappy mayors instead of the abject worst mayors you can imagine!

America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

I’m going to need a Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheerhan, Noah Kahan, an Benny Blanco protest project collab against what’s happening right now. We need more radio- friendly music to bring joy to the resistance.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among LGBTQ youth.
It's indefensible that RFK Jr. is reportedly planning to remove LGBTQ-specific youth counseling from the national 988 suicide hotline.
