You guys are ridiculous. Every time you use the word "Israel" in a headline, I mentally replace it with "France" and assess how outlandish it would seem. "How Might Zohran...Affect France?" check and check. F'ing stupid.

I follow too many gays I thought this was an array of butt plugs.

Thieves walking into the Louvre this weekend be like

This picture also would have been a great choice.

Today’s hard level had a legitimately good red herring. Nice.

Now THIS is journalism!! Now do a Wirecutter on the best inkwells and quills.

A girl can dream.

I worked for a money laundering operation in New York where the CEO would sabotage every sale we made so he could continue to claim a loss.

Ya know what? In retrospect it wasn’t an attempted coup. It was a future president and his cabinet touring their offices. So sorry for the confusion.

Wait Charlotte has a commuter rail?

I really do think the best global reaction to this inane proclamation should have been close to zero coverage. All the reporting on it has pushed it into the zeitgeist and now people hear about it everywhere in headlines and suddenly the words “Tylenol” and “pregnancy” are together in peoples minds

"Please come back! We made it more expensive!"

Definitely not available if you don’t have a subscription.

I need new glasses. Really thought that was a picture of Lynne Marie Stewart.

3am, Kuwait Airways Riyadh to Kuwait, completely packed with migratory workers from South Asia who had never been on a plane before. Flight attendants had to continuously rush up and down the aisle to put cigarettes out.

Bitch he needs cock.

There’s nothing Graham loves doing more than sucking a [metaphorical!! How very dare you!!] Trump dick.

Ayyyyy 😂

Of course the guy who says he can grab ‘em by the pussy literally sees his name written right on it.

RELX has dumped millions into lobbying in DC across the aisle, much to the vexation of a very liberal employee base.

And, of course, editorial is the lowest paid part of the org. But no, even with this in mind, it doesn’t cost an additional $5990-5991 to produce and still cut a profit.

Well, so, basically this accounts for all stages that get a paper from submission to final copy (editorial staff, Ed board honoraria, typesetting, etc.). Salaries and commissions for sales, marketing, leadership, distribution channels (and engineers who keep ScienceDirect alive) aren’t covered.

Hi. Worked at Elsevier for years as a publisher. The true cost per article was well-known internally to be about $9-10 so that, along with Ron Mobed admitting they make a 40% margin (higher than Apple!)…. Yeah the journals will be FINE.

“I don’t even get how this is ALLOWED” is what I gasp to myself reading about 15-35 headlines a day lately!

This looks like when they cut open the stomachs of dead birds on beaches.

BIG Roy Cohn vibes.

Literally almost no American could currently pass the test as it stands.

Here’s all you need to know.

And how does bombing a TV station set back a nuclear program exactly?

I absolutely loathe these things. They’re too small to accommodate much trash so larger buildings need many of them, to the point where they just take up the entire block in some cases. On top of that, they’re locked to the public to even use (unlike the predecessors in west Harlem) Useless eyesore.
