He’s Reese’s Biggest Advocate—and Hershey’s Biggest Headache Reese’s peanut-butter cups haven’t been made by a Reese since 1963. That hasn’t stopped Brad Reese from championing the candy, or bashing the owner.

When he’s not spreading his love of Reese’s, he spends weekday afternoons singing Rolling Stones songs on karaoke machines in bars near the pier. www.wsj.com/business/hes...

Homeland Security Agents Lied Their Way Into Dorm to Arrest Student, Says Columbia President The agents entered campus housing at around 6:30 a.m., just before Azerbaijani undergraduate Ellie Aghayeva posted online: “Dhs illegally arrested me. Please help."

Protests have erupted at Columbia U. after DHS arrest of student. Update from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social:

They Thought It Was Burnout or Aging. It Was ADHD. A wave of midlife diagnoses in women is revealing the disorder’s hormonal link.

"One theory is that the ever-changing, high-stakes environment is appealing to busy minds and the work lends itself to hyperfocus."

One of my favorite things!

And to be clear, everyone was very aware that this was illegal, but Trump officials and DOGE didi it anyway. Multiple IRS acting commissioners were removed when they raised concerns. Pretty much the entire C-suite resigned. From last year: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/this-tax-d...

Aren't they embarrassed that they are acting this way over SNOWBALLS?

Absolutely ridiculous

Are we really going to do another day of cops being called in for a snowball fight and getting hit with snowballs?

Ralph Coleman spent decades rehabilitating himself.

@josephbienkahn.com, the son of Coleman's attorney, described him as "tired, mournful, bitter, wise. But, what I never felt… was that he was a threat.”

One of Trump’s cruelest policies yet has received almost zero attention America’s slaughterhouses could become even more dangerous for workers and animals.

The latest proposal is one in a series of actions that demonstrates its allegiances lie on the side of the large businesses that run much of that food system. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

You don’t have to air clip after clip of Trump loudly lying about how great things are. You could maybe talk about this www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Fact check: true

Someone called 911 because of a snowball fight. The cops showed up and — surprise! —got hit with snowballs.

I used to be one of the people paid to watch and tell. Upside of being laid off: I am currently not one of those people!

What is Bonesmashing? Inside the Extreme Looksmaxxer Technique As looksmaxxing enters our lexicon, the practice of bonesmashing—tapping your face with a hammer to shape your bone structure—is trailing close behind.

For current bonesmashers, Dr. Rosenberg offers this advice: “Go read a book. Go for a walk. Go do literally anything that doesn’t involve sourcing your medical decision-making from social media.” www.gq.com/story/what-i...

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

“John, the old conferences did not care about diversity. I suggest you not either,” Jeffrey Epstein wrote in response to an email about the programming. “The women are all weak, and a distraction sorry.”

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

And with the current administration just setting fire to all safety rules, shit’s only gonna get worse
