Way to pre-comply with fascism, by firing the political journalists. So much for free speech.

Adios!

This. Oh, and I also unfollowed them. (I know, I know. Drop in the bucket.)

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I think you’ve got it backwards. “Spring ahead, fall back” means that if I’m driving home on dst one day at 6pm and it’s starting to get dark, tomorrow, it’ll be much darker at 6pm, because that’s now the old 7pm.

Relax! Remember, we’re talking about “last person to talk to me” guy, and he was just in Japan.

I hear he’s going to DRC next.
