I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

If you want to understand exactly how the Supreme Court laid the groundwork for Trump’s mass deportation scheme decades ago, this episode lays it out.

The Supreme Court’s Trans Sports Ban Cases Are About Much More Than Sports For decades, trans athletes have been fighting to compete on teams that are consistent with their gender identity. Next year, the Supreme Court could put an end to it.
