[b] turn around and face your foes
[c] choose C and brace for impact

You shove the chips in your backpack. The chip bag ruptures and tiny crumbs gather at the bottom. Your laptop becomes covered in Lay’s chip oil! You
[a] dump the entire backpack on the seat next to you
[b] suck up the crumbs with your mouth like a vacuum
[c] burst into tears

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

All 3 of the Tums are pink flavor. You end up chatting with the stranger, a kindly retired librarian full of great book recommendations, until your stop. You exchange numbers and promise to keep in touch. You don’t, but it’s a sweet thought anyway. You go to bed that night with the warm fuzzies. 🥰

You have a tummy ache! You ask the train guy for a Tums and he says “I’m not your nurse.” A friendly stranger offers you a Tums. Do you
[a] take 3 Tums from the stranger
[b] say no and then performatively put hand sanitizer on
[c] do nothing
