With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

I was out there. The protests were huge. Santos is just a worm. What is happening with the New York Times?
HOLD UP. George Santos is the lead story on the @nytimes.com website on Saturday night? Not the millions of Americans protesting Donald Trump today at 2,700 events in all 50 states? Come on.

Trying your best is great but don't sleep on making a reasonable effort.

Were there really cynics making fun of Marilyn Hagerty's North Dakota Olive Garden review beyond a few random trolls? Every take I saw found it charming. Always seemed like a straw man to me.

The capital of Finland hasn't had a traffic death in a full year. Lower speed limits, plentiful speed cameras, 1,500+ km of bike lanes, infrastructure for pedestrians, and a new tram line.
When you prioritize people and not vehicles, you can save lives while protecting the environment.
Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year
Helsinki has completed 12 months without a single traffic fatality, a milestone credited to lower speed limits, safer infrastructure, and years of consistent planning, officials say.

Sometimes all it takes to fix bed-head is about 15 minutes of wearing a knit cap. I swear I look like Robert Redford right now.

I can't top this one.
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

The people I was about to hit up for jobs are hitting me up, meaning we're all screwed.

Baltimore's fledgling answer to the decline of independent American journalism -- the online non-profit daily known as the Baltimore Banner -- has just been awarded its first Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the city's overdose crisis. Subscribe now. Great cities have great metro dailies.

Amazing. Ann Telnaes just won a Pulitzer Prize for her work at The Washington Post --- which she resigned from after they refused to run this cartoon.
