It’s a pretty open field - there isn’t that much competition for it for some reason.

I must be really tired because I was trying to understand how one is a candidate to be a lesbian. I think I need a nap.

It should probably be written “Lesbian GOP candidate.” That seems to follow the secret unwritten rules of word order a little better.

I still think news headline format needs to die. Japan is actually on to something with their long ass light novel titles.

Actually though what does this even mean? It’s also not interesting enough for me to click and find out. If only the title was a properly structured sentence I could tell if the article is something I would be interested in reading

Handcuffing and arresting infants is a poor solution to this problem

Why do you say that? I don’t see anything in this article that references cocaine babies. And in what way are they a legit issue? It’s an incredibly rare phenomenon and prenatal cocaine exposure doesn’t have any consistent or defining characteristics.

Cuffed a baby, apparently. I feel like we’re not getting the whole story. Who would do that.

zip ties, the metal reinforced ones are called wire cuffs. get used a lot at protests and other mass arrests, too.
