Peak journalism is working in a McDonald's and you can't tell me different. There are various reasons for which journalists end up needing to work at a McDonald's and they're all valid and urgent. Yes, I'm currently working at said establishment because of wind-induced issues.

I have to keep reminding myself that it’s not normal for a scientist to have a “death threats” folder on her computer. Just to continue to file away in case anything ever happened. WTF is wrong with people.
