I've used this a fair bit, keep an eye on the subreddit which will frequently alert you to which businesses are abusing it and which are consistently great deals.

Also believe it or not but Whole Foods is one of the best big chains on there.

Epstein was obviously the story of the day but it’s wild that we got confirmation the CIA was engaged in biological warfare in Afghanistan for at least a decade
Inside the CIA’s secret mission to sabotage Afghanistan’s opium
In a decade-long operation, the CIA modified poppy seeds and dropped them by the billions from aircraft over Afghanistan in an attempt to weaken the potency of the country’s opium crop.

So, this will contain spoilers for the Duskwalker Beginnings prequel, To Free a Soul.

Here's the final one of this set! There's two babies, and it's pretty easy to figure out who they are! Then there's Weldir in his realm with a hint of a very large someone.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Yes. It plants the ideas that these systems are flawless and they also make corruption across all of these areas as like super obvious and that only a few people partake in it. It wants you to ignore the people who paid for these positions to be written that way or other ways corruption occurs
Reminder that not all copaganda is about positive depictions of cops.

Shows and movies that depict the courts as fundamentally good or fair, that show defense attorneys as liars or manipulators, that show bad actors being punished by a self correcting righteous system...they're copaganda too.

Shows that show the prosecutor as a heroic figure who just wants to punish criminals, without understanding that the system is designed to assume everyone is a criminal despite the legal assumption of innocence.

I've had people tell me Law and Order isn't copaganda because it shows bad cops being punished, or that Judge Judy isn't copaganda because there are no cops at all.

Frankly, that kind of copaganda is the most pernicious of all.

Castle Rock v. Gonzales is, no joke, my Roman Empire.

Once you learn the full details of this horrific case, you will never again be able to see policing as a force for safety or justice.

It will permanently alter your understanding of state violence, gender, and race in this country.
In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

To be clear, there is nothing funny about a man firing five rounds at a woman in a bikini, then lying about it and harassing her over it.

But there IS something a bit funny about his fans convincing themselves his appeal had any chance of being anything other than rejected.

in Paris, I had to see a same-day doctor & I found one. was gravely warned that, as a foreigner, I’d have to pay 32 euros & I laughed & laughed

a friend there said “make sure you get X kind of doctor, not Y, because the Y kind charges 74 WHOLE EUROS” & once again I bitterly, bitterly laughed 😭
