Somewhere along the line, things become things.
You catch wind of these breezy bits and tilt your head like a confused puppy to be all like, “Wait, whaaa -- is that really a thing?” And even your bestie, who lives life under rock, bites his lower lip and unabashedly says, “Yeah, that’s definitely a thing.”
Some things are agenda setters and live short, in-your-face, shelf lives -- while other things may go undiscussed and fly under the radar for years. Some things are only things for some people -- things I’ll never subscribe to -- like being a DICKHEAD Arizona lawmaker or giving up cheese fries for Lent
(to think of two off the top of my head).

As as result of Vladimir Putin being a total fucking nightmare, Stoli donated $150,000 to the Russia Freedom Fund and $300,000 to the L.A Gay & Lesbian Center in efforts to fight homophobia and to publicly promote their proud stance in support of gay rights. As a result of that, bars here in Chicago's Boystown lifted their bans on the Vodka brand.
