After the FDA announced last week it would allow retail pharmacies to carry the abortion drug mifepristone behind its counters, CVS and Walgreens said their pharmacies in legal jurisdictions would become certified to distribute mifepristone. This was, uh, obviously an affront to anti-abortion activists who are not le…

My long-standing embargo on learning anything about the Chainsmokers has been lifted. Not only do I now know what they look like (two handsome-ish white men, exactly what I expected), I now also know their names (Alex and Drew, also exactly what I would have guessed).
