I caught a glimpse of what I hope my retirement is like tonight when the old lady checking out in front of me at Michael’s told the cashier not to tell her the total and then swiped her card blindly

I remember being robbed of my chance to hold the record for sticker streak

Who do you think of when you remember first learning AP style?
Did you have a copy editing professor who quizzed you weekly? Or an editor who marked up your drafts pointing out your style errors?

Kentucky voters also rejected Amendment 1, which would've given state lawmakers the power to call themselves into session. https://t.co/WwNRlnLITN

Most likely the biggest story out of Kentucky is Amendment 2 failing. The amendment would've revised the state constitution to make clear there is no protected right to abortion.

Today 43 Republicans voted to keep insulin at $1200/mo instead of $35. Tomorrow every Republican will ask you to be outraged that gas is $5 instead of $3.

In the GOP world, $1200 for life saving insulin in fair play but $5 for gas is an outrage.

Vote them all out.

One of my colleagues wrote about getting a vasectomy recently. His experience is on the left.

Another Vice writer wrote in 2019 about getting her tubes tied. Her experience is on the right.

@mitche11sc When I applied for Wendy’s back in high school they told me they wanted someone more qualified. I’m surprised I ever tried for any job after that rejection
