"Maj. Tulsi Gabbard Receives Surprise Deployment Orders to Antarctica" Gabbard will be deploying to Antarctica within the week, and is expected to return next summer, shortly after the Democratic National Convention has concluded.
“It’s unfortunate that Congresswoman Gabbard’s presidential aspirations have been thwarted by her upcoming deployment,” said Sen. Kamala Harris.... winking dramatically and making finger guns long after the cameras stopped taking pictures.

Titania McGrath’s Edinburgh Fringe show is the most important live event since the Women’s March"
Inevitably, white male critics have entirely misunderstood Mxnifesto. One described it as ‘venomous satire’, another as ‘iconic comedy’. Brian Logan in the Guardian inexplicably awarded the show just one star. This was a crushing blow for me, because Logan is one of my all-time favorite writers and theater practitioners. For over 15years he was co-director of the improvisation troupe Cartoon de Salvo, objectively acclaimed on their own website as ‘storytellers, shape-shifters and theater pioneers’. I mention Logan’s troupe by name only because I know how difficult it must be to maintain a reputation for being a pioneer when no one has actually heard of anything you’ve ever done.

"Nation Informs Body-Positive Advertisers It Ready To Go Back To Staring At Unattainably Attractive People""We got the message loud and clear, but if I wanted to see a slightly overweight person with frizzy hair and yellow, crooked teeth, I would look in the mirror."
Mutatis mutandis, I imagine that last is a very common sentiment.

Actually, Antarctica has tighter security than Fort Knox. They don't allow anybody there, and it certainly isn't used as some kind of Arctic punishment post the way the Arctic or Alaska was.
The reason is... well, it wouldn't be easy to understand unless you knew some of the background details.
Things can get a little strange there sometimes, especially during the austral winter when there's no way to get people out from the Pole. (Usually). A few years back somebody started to go a little paranoid, and decided that the mineral supplements added to the water were poisoning him, and started drinking the meltwater straight. Another fellow got to be such a problem that the first flight in spring brought a US Marshall to arrest him (US citizen). He was later released without charges, and I'm told was hired on a few weeks later by an arctic team desperate for experienced workers. Go figure.
At the meeting tomorrow I'll probably be the only one who hasn't been to the Pole.
