    Mitch McConnell blubbering as he laments the Coronavirus surge in his home state Kentucky. He is lamenting the tremendous loss... of votes... the death of his political career and the tragic loss.. of his spine, his chin, and his soul (3 things he never had)

    Arrival is the greatest film ever because Ted Chiang is amazing and Amy Adams is great but mostly because humanity is saved by a language nerd despite almost being destroyed by right wing fearmongers and I’m totally ready for that timeline

    Mask acne=Maskne. Got it. I'm glad GQ has got my back on this one because I was just about to choose probable death over facial blemishes.

    I don’t eat cephalopods in part because they’re too damn smart but here’s a another reason not to eat squid

    Squid stocks have decreased by more than 70% in the Sea of Japan in recent years, now research by Global Fishing Watch has found a likely reason why: Up to 800 Chinese fishing boats illegally fishing in North Korean waters and bringing in 220,000 tonnes of squid per year.

    Evan, you and Chris would have gotten along well. And you both survived the swimming pools of Iraq. We don’t know how Pete did in Cairo. 🤔 🦞 I myself have only served as a war reporter in the brutal 2009 pole dance 💃 fitness competition.

    We all know crossbows don't kill people, people kill people. But still, maybe it's time Japan really did crackdown on crossbow violence. In the old days, she would have used a sword. But obviously western influence keeps corrupting this country.
