Three of the biggest god damn garlic cloves I've ever seen in my entire life. Like Jesus Christ HEB, where the fuck did you find those? What Garlic Devil did you sell your grocery soul to for garlic this big. That bulb must have been the size of a grapefruit, fuck. Like, you don't understand how big these fuckers are. I'm not a small man, those are not a small man's hands, those are just huge fucking garlic cloves. These are the kinda of garlic cloves that would break your window when the neighbor kids are using them as a ball for a game of street sickball, like they're a bunch of 1940's Brooklyn children having some fun before going back to salvaging scrap metal for the war effort. Fuck, I've seen entire bulbs smaller than one of these fuckers. Who asked for this? Well, me clearly, I mean, I bought them. I saw them on the shelves and went "oh fuck hello who are you you're coming home with me tonight". The market is there, and it's me. But like, it's sold by the weight, so it's not, like, a discount or anything. It's just. Like. So fucking big.

An email from the AVCX, reading: "In early 2017, AVCX announced a new, official editorial policy, namely that we as a feature would regard Donald Trump as an asshole when we referred to him in print. That, however, was eight years ago, and the matter seems worth revisiting now. Indeed, given the breadth of the coalition that voted for him - about one in five Americans! - many media outlets have approached Trump's second term differently from his first, leaving the defiance of the #resistance behind in favor of capitulation in advance, acceptance, appeasement, or even outright embrace. AVCX is a media company, too. We have asked ourselves how we should respond this time, as the world is now assuredly different. So our revised editorial policy as of 2025 is that Donald Trump, his administration, and his allies can kiss our ass. No matter what powers they may possess or claim to possess, or which threats they may issue, they can just kiss our entire, collective ass. Every organization has an ass, a metonym for a shared, core center of identity, where the vulnerability of one is the vulnerability of all. Our ass is in part queer, nonwhite, expansively gendered, non-Christian, disabled, and many other modes of selfhood that Donald Trump has routinely mocked or abused. So, for the next four years and beyond, we will continue to treat him and his enablers in our puzzles as the inhumane assholes they have repeatedly proven themselves to be, factually, but we now add this important and timely addendum to provide clarity for our solvers. Thank you, The AVCX"
