New York, here’s how you can save a life: 1. Go to nyc.gov/naloxone to get free overdose-reversal medication, also known as Narcan®. 2. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, call 988 for confidential recovery resources.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

Hey, fellas, before you write that white hot take about how rape is such a tricky thing and, I mean, who can really say what happened and, you know, maybe we should not be too judgmental, I'd like to remind you that instead you can simply shut the fuck up.

"Baggage." Yeah. The two old men in the park who taught me checkers and chess had numbers inked on their arms. Put there in the camps they were thrown into by people wearing the emblem your "macho bro" got tattooed with. So you can take your baggage and pack it.

"instead of real impacts on real people" - fuck that to the point of no further possible fuckatude, gird loins, and fuck it some more. People I knew, who were dear to me, were put in camps, tortured, their families exterminated like vermin, by people wearing the emblem Platner chose to celebrate.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
