When I am wearing one sock it is not forgetfulness. Neither is it whimsy. It is because I stepped in cat vomit and am waiting to find the secret bonus spit puddle with my other still-stockinged foot.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026
This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

the evil feminists will also graciously allow you to believe you'd rather do low-paying freelance work, live in a tiny town, spend your twenties *and* thirties sleeping around in great moderation, and STILL not get married or have babies

Cat no. 1: Sitting helplessly outside housemate’s bedroom door, which is cracked open at least 2”. All he needs to do is push.
Cat no. 2: Just let herself into AND out of the bathroom vanity cabinet, which doesn’t even have a handle

My representative!!
Why was Elon Musk playing president this week? Because he has over $15 billion in federal contracts. That’s why Republicans are coming for your Social Security and will never touch the inflated defense budget.
Rep. Balint: "Who is it that we're negotiating with? It sure looks like we're negotiating with a boy billionaire who is playing at government. And why is he doing that? Because he's got $15 billion wrapped up in federal programs."

It seems mean of English to have depravation and deprivation look almost the same, sound exactly the same, and mean not at all similar or compatible things.
