About 20 years ago Bath & Body Works had a 3-in-1 body wash that smelled like lemon sweet tea.

I still think of that sometimes

A photo of a pin with HOW ARE YOU FEELING? at the top and four pictures of the comics character Charlie Brown looking increasingly distressed, with a slider below that can point to each of the faces in turn. Under a smiling face is the caption "All I want is to lead a normal life." Under one of him grimacing is "My stomach hurts." Under one of him looking pained with a closed mouth is "I only dread one day at a time." Under one of him with his mouth open wailing is "Good grief." The slider is pointing to "My stomach hurts."

Jody, I hate to tell you this, but your husband is not being creative
Moderator, Katherine Miller And of course, A.I.: Is it good for society, bad, neutral, mixed? Jody, 32, Mo., white, Republican, construction I’m torn on that one. I see a lot of really good and positive things that can come from A.I. My husband is using it to really get into his creative side. He’s used it to write songs and to even write a book and things like that. But on the flip side, people who have that natural talent, it cheapens a little bit when somebody else can just go and do it. For the average user, it probably really is allowing them to do something new that they maybe wouldn’t have been able to do before.

Aside from poorly worded questions (in addition to the example of Jews resisting the SS, if violence is truly never justified to accomplish political goals, the U.S. doesn't exist), I might imagine the timing of this poll might have skewed the responses from conservatives. reason.com/2025/09/16/j...
According to that poll, which was conducted immediately following Kirk's murder, the majority (55 percent) of "very liberal" respondents said violence is never justified to achieve political goals. An even larger majority of self-described liberals (68 percent) shared this view. Similar majorities of "very liberals" (56 percent) and liberals (73 percent) said it was always or usually unacceptable for "a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose." (It's possible that at least some of the liberals who answered "yes, violence can sometimes be justified" had in mind edge cases like armed resistance by Jews against the SS, not the assassination of peaceful political pundits with whom they disagree.) It is true that larger majorities of "very conservatives" (88 percent) and conservatives (83 percent) said political violence is never justified. Likewise, 90 percent and 91 percent, respectively, said it is "always or usually unacceptable" for a person to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose. While the disparity between American liberals' and conservatives' condemnation of political violence and its celebration is notable, the fact remains that a majority of even "very liberal" Americans reject political violence outright and denounce its celebration.
