Grimace is a taste bud. And if you had a purple taste bud, you'd have a doctor look at it.

Dear museum I visited once in 2014 to see the David Bowie Is show,

I am not likely to visit your museum for the Yoko Ono exhibit. Please remove my email from your distribution list.

Thanks,
Meatfork

(side note: The V&A in Londan can email me daily about the Bowie archives)

Hmmm... weird.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)
