This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

What in the sweet name of Qo'noS did I miss On Here? The skyline is a fucking shambles of cursed Discourse. It's as if the gates of Gre'thor are empty and all the shamed and dishonored are here.

I would also guess, though, that the kids in this situation would rather the public be aware of the harm being done to them (particularly if that awareness leads the public to try to stop the harm), even if it means risking having their letters and drawings taken away.

You can just stop reading newspapers that you think are dishonest. In fact it’s probably incumbent on you to do that given our information economy. Boost outlets that are telling the truth, it’s much more effective than second guessing editorial decisions you can never change

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
