That makes sense.
The soft drink 7 Up got its name from its seven ingredients: Lemon juice, lime juice, sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar, and sugar.

2 dead in Michigan from Taylor Farms lettuce. 1.7M+ contaminated eggs at Kroger. 3 dogs sick from Oma's Pride dog food. E. coli berries in 8 states. This is what happens when the FDA can't act before the harm — and victims can't sue after. All thanks to The Roberts Court.

Just had dinner with some older Gen X people who are well-educated and every one of them had the whole "we just have to give up on trans people" attitude I want to talk a little bit about how I countered their arguments because maybe it will help some of you in similar convos (🧵)

The president is a rapist and a pedophile who ran teen beauty pageants and was best friends with Epstein and he’s fine with men beating their wives and he lost a war and raised all your prices and stole billions of dollars but 34% of Americans still think he’s peachy keen because they’re racist.

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.
4 frame comic. first frame shows the ibm building, 2nd shows a smartphone, 3rd shows a trans flag, and 4th shows Lynn Conway, smiling. Text reads: After Lynn Conway transitioned in 1968, she lost her family and was fired from her job at IBM. she went on to pioneer the microchip technology that powers your smartphone. She has been a tireless advocate for trans rights and an inspiration for trans leaders everywhere. She was a legend, an icon and a trailblazer. She will be thoroughly missed.

Reminder that in this house we do not trash other genres of books to support the genre we like the most. One, come on, we're grown ups. Two, the bottom line is people reading and loving books. Three, every writer you know has friends working other genres, don't trash their friends, thanks.

Last year Kanye West took out a Super Bowl ad to sell swastika t-shirts. This weekend he sold out two shows at SoFi Stadium. To all of those in attendance—what the fuck is wrong you. That’s a rhetorical question.

tiny thread of tips for anyone freaked out by the reports of multiple fatal rattlesnake bites in SoCal lately: 1. not a comment on these particular bites at all, but statistically most bites occur when trying to interact with a snake (killing it, filming it, handling it to show off)

If they weren't all cowards they would bring back Alien Nation.
A mock Polaroid shows a family group of five humanoid aliens with large spotted heads, wearing typical American clothing from the 1980s. Also, one scruffy human crammed in at the back.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Asking voters for patience is fine when we’re talking about political differences, it’s dereliction of duty when one side’s masked goons are shooting citizens on the streets.
