I hope they mean brown rice or else that 'low calorie' is an absolute lie.

We do not use the weapons of the enemy.

Our weapons are wit, a decent vocabulary, and a proficiency with ethically sourced images.

We dig consent.

I am also aware that my ability to tolerate this kind of geopolitical mess probably comes from growing up under the Cold War threat of nuclear armageddon.

Annihilation was always a heartbeat away, to misquote the Stones.

Relax, everyone, things have always been chaotic

What you're experiencing is a slight shift of the veil, that's all. Nothing has made sense for a long time. Overt warfare was inevitable. It was always going to be the facism endpoint.

We're not too far gone to turn back, but this isn't a surprise.

I also use the focusing sorry. I tend to say, 'I'm sorry, I'm confused..." which, translated, means, "motherfucker, you are wrong."

Yeah, my refusal to do this has been a leitmotiff of...shall we say conflict?

Or, they're British where it's cultural to say sorry a lot.

That's a very Francis Bacon cover. I love it!

I never use it. I only want to see the people I already follow. I have no need to discover.

Yeah, agree.

I think because he was already sneaking towards it in his Daredevil run, I had acclimatised (because that was my reading order).

So it's only a success because bombs go boom. Tactically, a failure, then?

Be sure to get the still variant.

The sparkling one causes flatulence.

Grammarly has a "humanizer" function.

Think about it. You, a human, employ this tool to help you write, then you have to "humanize" the output. With a machine.
