    BuzzFeed style is to use precise, neutral language rather than metaphors ("has" > "battling") and euphemisms ("died" > "passed away") for disease and death.

    honestly john cusack is the love of my life but if he keeps using hyphens as em dashes i'll be forced to move on

    It’s really easy - and even Fox News lawyers will have to soon say - all this “behavior “ is not only collusion - it’s textbook treason & ongoing endless obstruction - Traitors - treason - high crimes.
