Surprised I hadn't seen this cross posted over here
Liquid Death is renaming their Armless Palmer iced tea and lemonade to Dead Billionaire because Arnold Palmer's estate threatened to sue for the use of the word Palmer. What a brand
"I think this Category of human being is disposable" okay that not only sucks and is fascist but also makes getting you to deem someone to be disposable a simple matter of convincing you they're in The Category regardless of the truth. Also The Category is often misapplied to a vulnerable minority because it makes people like you agree they're disposable.
"Anyone who disagrees with me about The Category of people being disposable is a Category apologist or probably also in The Category themselves" Oh so you're just totally unconcerned with truth or justice or ethics or human rights and just are feeding your bloodlust for the sake of revenge fantasies. got it 👍
In a gas-filled balloon with little preamble
in the middle of the night
in DNA collection efforts dogged by questions of consent
in the South Bronx in the sweltering summer
in and of itself
in tents and trailers on a red, dusty plain
in the past
in his mid to late thirties
in what could be an unfortunate reprise
in the lower right-hand corner
in vibrations off the sun’s magnetic fields
in the video
in sheep
in search of stability
in the prosecution’s new court filing
in mid-October
in the early 2000s
in a car accident a year earlier
in her hands
in anticipation of receiving payment
in the leaves of the red maple on the lawn
in return
in a since-deleted Facebook post
in gestures of victory and mouthing the word “boom”
in danger of being deported
in vogue
in a country that’s been put on its heels
in our inability to monitor and study storms
in the form of an ice-bound baby mammoth
in cell phone coverage
in addition to those mistakes
in the last few years
in the end
in as much as
in the darkness.

Despite how awful colds can be, it’s nice to see the little gestures of care from loved ones. My own family tended to make me tea, so I’d end up with new mugs accumulating whenever I woke up lol
I hope that anyone who’s feeling under the weather can get that care, and that you feel better soon! Well wishes :)
