To put it into fandom-speak: Folks who thought they were the Rebels are waking up to the fact that they’re actually The Empire. Y’all thought you were Avengers, and turns out you’re Hydra. You thought you were the Fellowship, and somehow you’re Sauron’s little bish.

I understand why soccer teams have kit sponsors. I'm not telling them to stop having kit sponsors. They help the players get paid what they deserve, so it's fine.

But.

The way I do not want to pay $100 for the privilege of being a billboard for an insanely dogshit company lmao

These would be more beautiful if they didn’t have that Ring sponsor. Just saying.

Really really need y’all to get a new sponsor.

Teen Beauty Queens Say Trump Walked In On Them Changing β€œDon’t worry, ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”

Thinking about how
1) Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women
2) Many women have come forward to say he sexually assaulted them
3) Trump bragged about entering pageant dressing rooms
4) Five women say he entered the dressing room for their *teen* pageant

Still blows my mind that my medication, Emgality, is like $1,000 with insurance but if I print out a special cheat code from the manufacturer's website its $35. And they don't automatically give this cheat code to people so that elderly and sick people end up accidentally paying full price.

Writer folks: this magazine is little but mighty (much like Moonlit Getaway) and it needs your eyes and your submissions.

Mitch McConnell is taking a beating in the race to replace him Three GOP candidates, all former McConnell interns, are keeping their distance as they seek to align with President Donald Trump.

The Senate primary to replace 83-year-old Mitch McConnell shows how profoundly the GOP base in his home state has soured on one of the most powerful and significant political figures in Kentucky history.

Monica Samayoa probably should have done a little more research on Portland for this article.

"Now, with the owner of the Portland Trail Blazers hinting that the city’s only major league sports team could move away"

@opb.org Did Monica forget about the Portland Thorns and the Portland Timbers??

Screenshot of headline reading: Sen. Markey calls on Amazon to β€œdiscontinue” Ring monitoring features.

Ring’s Super Bowl ad focused on how its cameras could be networked to find a missing dog, but for a lot of people, it highlighted the surveillance power hiding in those devices. Now Senator Ed Markey (D-Mass.) has sent a letter to Amazon saying, β€œGet this creepy technology away from our homes.”

Ring’s Super Bowl ad exposed a scary truth: the technology in its doorbell cameras could be used to hunt down a lost pet...or a person. Americans oppose this creepy surveillance state. Amazon must discontinue its dystopian monitoring features.

There are so many threads to pull here but the absolute intellectual bankruptcy of the richest men on the planet is impossible to ignore. It can't just be that they personally got lucky, or leveraged some edge at the right time; they have to be undeniably superior to others at a foundational level.

There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.
