Unfortunately they do. I saw it at the grocery checkout the other day with some ridiculous cover story about Mamdani being anti LGBTQ+

This is the first Halloween where “inflatable animal” costumes will need clarification—are you just a frog, or a symbol of the revolution?

Overuse of cancel culture leads to bigger, badder bugs.

We’re currently experiencing an epidemic of such bugs in America. The ones at the top have become highly cancel resistant.

TIL that the creative genius behind “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there” and “I am stuck on Band-Aid, cuz Band-Aids stuck on me” was none other than Top 40 legend Barry Manilow. 🤯

Jingles that have managed to stick in my head for nearly four decades??

I get why NYCC is trending, but why 2023 next to it? Does the algorithm not know what year we’re in?

Dang… and I thought people in Bible Belt Oklahoma were cray when I was growing up going to evangelical churches.

Yeah, this was in Dallas in the late 90s, but we had 4 armed men come in with real unloaded guns, and take a few of us aside. Said they were here to kill believers, and asked if we were believers. After we all said "Yes", they unmasked themselves as dads from church.

I’m not normally a t-shirt or sweatshirt wearing person, but I bought a protest hoodie. Hope it arrives in time for No Kings on October 18! If not I’ll just wear it all season. 🫶

There seem to be a lot of options. Are there favorite, vetted shops for this?

Hoping this latest Israel-Hamas peace deal actually holds. But before anyone starts engraving a Nobel Prize, maybe remind the committee that Our Dear Leader is also busy trying to incite a civil war at home.
