I could suggest something way more woke if I put my mind to it, but I'm going with "Compulsory purchase of every golf course on the planet and they all get converted into solar/wind farms."

I must admit part of this is because I want to break Trump's heart and so little else matters to him.

lol bullshit cops and their bullshit threats. You wanna leave? Leave, bitch. No one's stopping you.

Shame needs to make a roaring comeback. Not just shame, but "you have dishonored me/my family/my little dog" posturing followed by aggressive immediate teeth-inna-gutter consequences.

i’d be more comfortable with the olivia nuzzi coverage if every story was headlined something like “seduced by a guy who eats roadkill: the story of an extremely stupid lady”

A black ink woodcut on cream colored paper. The style is reminiscent of Renaissance era maps with sea monsters. Indeed, the primary figure is a fish-like sea monster with two spouts coming out of its head. It is orange with pointy burgundy tipped fins. Its orange body is covered in black spots, and its mouth is open displaying long sharp teeth. A tiny man in a oil slicker stands on a rock in front of the open mouth. In the upper left is a silver and gold sigil that looks like a combination of fish hook, weight, and an eye. The background is stylized waves.

A little white dog with floppy black ears and spots, and brown around the sides of their snout sits at at an apple cider stand. It's surrounded by muted autumn foliage, a pumpkin, and a sandwich board that says Fresh Cider with an apple drawn below. The stand is wooden, with some lights hanging from the awning. There are apples stacked behind the dog, some mugs to their left, and a big dispenser for cider. There's a little wooden stool for patrons too.

Day 6: Danish-Swedish farm-dog. I had two ideas so decided to just do both. ☕

I hope if nothing else it opens people's eyes to what's going on. I used to consistently hear "the media just wants clicks/ratings." If they wanted that they would be doggedly pursuing the Epstein story. But what they actually want is to help Trump rule us and ultimately enslave us

illustration of two brown bears stirring a big pot of stew with a large wooden spoon. the two bears wear chefs hat, so you know they are qualified. the pot looks like ceramic and has a folk art pattern, based on old corning-ware. the soup has a bunch of colorful vegetables. there is steam in the shape of hearts coming from the soup. cuz it's made with love.
