One clear sign we’re living in the age of impunity is that Patricia Lockwood can release an autofiction novel and put her cat on the cover as though she was never kicked like the football

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

FBI agents assigned to Musk concluded he was systematically avoiding conduct standards imposed on those holding high-level clearances. FBI management concluded it could do nothing about this because of Musk's ties to Trump and the GOP.

This is the right rhetoric. The problem is that the only legally armed body within the City of Chicago's nominal control are the cops, who a) have a 'union' who support Trump, b) Johnson has said can't arrest feds, c) are doing racist violence every day.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Pueblo is NOT the front range. South of the Springs and north of Amarillo but east of Santa Fe is a particularly feral region where the front range is basically urbane

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

A dangerous drug trend called “bluetoothing,” in which people inject themselves with the blood of other drug users to get a cheap high, is contributing to spikes in HIV rates in infection hot spots around the world.

‘Bluetoothing’: Blood-Sharing Drug Trend Fuels Alarming Global H.I.V. Surge

The practice, in which users inject the blood of already intoxicated individuals, has fueled one of the fastest-growing H.I.V. epidemics in the Pacific and grown widespread in South Africa.
