About every 4 years I get the itch to watch Metallica: Some Kind of Monster and I think we're approaching this celestial event once again.

Getting anything beyond basic survival right now is a massive accomplishment that should be celebrated. Way to go!!

I wish to apologize for throwing mid-level shade at Lemonades and Toffee-Tastic. I've never had either, and I only learned about the latter right now.
I'll do better in the future.

They're brutal when you get cornered!
We've got a few genius troops here who set up at various breweries and I swear to god they always sell out. At the very least they always get me.

Exactly. I don't hate them, I just don't understand the consensus appeal.

I legit don't think I've ever had the Lemonades, so I should probably fix that.

I honestly probably haven't had those in two decades, but I'm never drawn to shortbread cookies in general, so I think they'd miss me even if they were particularly good at being that. I do appreciate the breadth of cookie varieties they offer so we can all get our faves.

Let's fight:
Thin mints are the most overrated Girl Scout Cookies. The Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies are the most criminally underrated. Carmel Delights and Peanut Butter Patties are both God-Tier. And the rest are kinda mid.

We don't just post dumb bullshit on the internet, we also publish weird ass rad books which you can buy with hard earned (or soft stolen) money from either our website (US only) or most places you buy books (worldwide).

Your butt does look great, and I know a thing or two about great butts, so that's coming from something of an expert.

The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.

Working with the fantastic Governor of Louisiana, Jeff
Landry, we are going to send a great hospital boat to
Greenland to take care of the many people who are
sick, and not being taken care of there. It's on the way!!!

Healthcare in Greenland is publicly funded, free at the point of use, and despite geographical challenges considered very good.

Healthcare costs in the USA are extortionate and responsible for 60% of all US bankruptcies.

So maybe Denmark should be sending hospital ships the other way.
