These eyebrows are aspirational for trendy young women. For several hundred dollars, you can get tattoos so yours look like this.

It’s coming from China,* but they’re pretending it’s not, because they figure (or know) you won’t react well. When the shipment of goods arrives from China, they pop it in the local delivery, and then you can track it. *Or other non-domestic location

Ruthless? No thank you. I’m too overwhelmed by the ruthlessness of the administration and half the population. How about a delightfully cooperative word game instead?

A lot of them are, and they’re working on more. The usual announcement as the train pulls into the station ends with “This is an accessible station. The elevator is located at the [front/center/rear] of the platform.”

Happy Pi(e) Day! We’re celebrating with blackberry
A blackberry pie with crust vents cut as the Greek letter pi. The rim of the pie plate is decorated with digits of the number pi.

Okay, so abortion is murder, but freezing funds earmarked to feed children so they don’t starve to death is not?
