Absolutely yes, but also, choose your targets. Walmart ain't gonna miss it. The local bodega will.

Fuck that I still unironically enjoy electro swing

Booty Swing was a gateway drug and Parov Stelar is a legendary musician

Bombadil was one of the most important pieces of world building in LOTR, and that's not a joke. He's clearly a being of great power. He holds absolute sovereignty over his domain, such that even the trees and the undead bend to his will. And there is absolutely no cogent information or backstory on him, whatsoever. At all. Bombadil is printed proof that Middle Earth has a lot more going on than is touched on in the story. If Bombadil is an unexplained Great Being then it stands to reason that there would be more, beyond Sauron and Sauruman and the characters we meet directly. Bombadil is a signpost pointing off-screen and saying "Hey, there's more stuff over this way".

He may be crazy, and silly, and poorly explained, but that's all for a reason. Tom represents the "etc." at the end of the list of beings in Middle Earth. He is an open end implying the existence of more like him.

Tl:dr: Wendy’s CEO thinks we’re all dumb.

People still purchase Wendy's, he's got good reason to think that.

She seems very fiscally responsible and leveraged her skills into being overpaid for what she's good at. Sounds like she did good. I'm proud of her.

Honestly, still beats dying of preventable disease because of fear of the bill afterward. At least this way I can die of a preventable disease due to patient backlog.

And America had inflatable tanks during WWII to take attention off of real units. I love dunking on the Russian military as much as the next guy but this is just a good common sense move. The enemy keeps striking your targets? Install fake targets, make their lives just a little more difficult.

Conservatives think that

checks notes

Taylor Swift has rigged the Super Bowl in favor of Kansas City and is going to use that event to endorse Joe Biden.

No I'm not kidding.

At this point you can assume that most everything you'll hear about her over the next six months will be conservative astroturfing.

Swift does own a private jet. So naturally everyone who five minutes ago didn't give half a shit about the environment is going to use that as a cudgel regarding the environment. They're safe to ignore.

Zip cuffs are basically impossible to remove without a sharp edge. Metal cuffs are a lot easier to get out of.

It's because the sites refuse to police misinformation in any form. You want attention on that, you have to say something that someone in charge of that cares about. Falsely reporting their death is an easy, legal and fun way to make a content moderator or site owner or CEO pause and say "hey wait a minute"
