HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison?
SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale
HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin.
SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

CBS turned their news operation into propaganda, kicked Colbert off the air for making too much trouble, and all that just to have Charles Barkley go on the air on one of their most-watched telecasts of the year and say this lmao
"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

We are at the “Dems should listen to His Holiness instead of James Carville” part of American deterioration.
States have a moral obligation to develop universal health care systems, Pope Leo XIV said, stating that "health cannot be a luxury for the few."
Pope Leo calls universal health care a 'moral imperative'

César Chavez accused of sexual abuse, grooming young girls (and co-organizer Dolores Huerta).
United Farm Workers said in a statement they will not celebrate César Chavez day. A statue of him at Fresno State (CA) has been covered in a black shroud. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

Problems have solutions. Contradictions do not. They are permanent points of tension that can only be managed within the system in which they are embedded. They only go away when the system as a whole disappears.
