Evan Goldstein & Len Gutkin ask bag of soft grey room-temperature ground meat where the Trichinella parasites are coming from.

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.” So I don’t know man.

I’m sure it’s just coincidence, but it really seems like once a publication partners with an ai company, they start featuring a lot more stories like this.

I’m told ICE attacked us—despite us being off the street, courtesy of the state police—to create a spectacle because Kristi Noem was present today. Here’s some footage of her and her team on the roof of Broadview. Everything is content creation to these fascists.
