Happens in real life, too. Wally Amos was known to bake cookies for the acts he repped for William Morris like the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and Simon & Garfunkel. Gaye liked them so much he financially backed Wally when he decided to bake cookies for a living, and we got "Famous Amos".
I have no idea why Ballerina didn't do better. The plot is okay, but the action scenes are great and the finale is 100% practical effects (some safety stuff was removed in post, but the fire is real). Some of the best practical pyrotechnics I've ever seen on film. youtu.be/r8wN7Y5Rnx8?...
RFK Jr. is not a scientist, trained to find the truth and willing to adjust his thinking when new data becomes available. He is trained as an attorney, to take a position and advocate for it no matter what, to pound the table and dismiss any contradictory evidence.
It's no different than the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 1860s DURING A FREAKING CIVIL WAR. It's just a matter of public and political will.
I have to ask what the White House Curator is supposed to do with all of this utter crap he's acquiring at taxpayer expense once he's gone. It's not like any future President is ever going to soil the White House with this garbage ever again.
No, no, this is haute couture, you have to call them "aubergines".
And you run, and you run To catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking And racing around To come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you’re older Shorter of breath And one day closer to death
My dad survived polio. He's lived all his life without the use of his left arm, and with very limited use of his right. You better believe his kids are all vaccinated.
You have to wonder if he's going to go home and tell his badger family about seeing a real live human, and whether or not they'll believe him.
Like Ketanji Brown Jackson said, it's "Calvinball".
Yikes
If they do, what's he going to sleep in?
This means you provide tasty and nutritious food for your family. Most people can only do one or the other.
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Kapersky Internet Security 2011 seems likely to need a few updates. It might be a while.
You don't have to "trust" the experts. They'll be happy to show their work. If someone's too lazy to learn how to understand their work, that's on them.
What is "Heens 58" sauce, anyways?
They have their own similar working group with Oregon and Washington. Their recommendations are pretty much the same as last year when we had a functioning CDC. www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...
You may be able to get more information on where to get a vaccine by calling 1-877-PA-HEALTH during normal business hours. This is the number listed on their website, which doesn't look to have been updated for a while. www.pa.gov/agencies/hea...
I think countries that unite their governments should also unite their names, like Bosnigovina or Trinibago.
But we do need more lefties putting out content in the places where folks look to, like AM radio, XM, and YouTube.
I just want Putin to release the pee-pee tape before he dies. Let him suffer in humiliation, since it seems he'll never see the prison cell he deserves.
"I've gotta say, your hair care products, not what I was expecting! I can recommend some tremendous shampoo, we all like shampoo, right, some tremendous shampoo, and some conditioner, Arnold Palmer, real conditioner guy, I used to see him in the shower at Bedminster, always two coats..."

Tell someone to buy some and gift it to me then.

You can (for now) check with your local health department. They may be able to accommodate you, often for a reduced price based on your income if your insurance won't cover it.
I try to leave them a half-empty bag of Funyuns in the corner when I leave for the night.
Because conservatives only have conservative children, and never have intelligent children who grow up to see that American "conservatism" is stupid and only serves the wealthy.
Drop a reaction pic or gif that you've been saving for a while but haven't had the right chance to use it yet
RFK is not trained as a scientist, to seek truth and accept evidence. He is trained as a lawyer, to take a side and forcefully advocate for it and dismiss any evidence to the contrary.
The main difference is that Asian recipes use corn flour (corn starch) while Western recipes use strictly wheat flour. It makes a huge difference.
RFK Jr. is not a scientist, trained to seek the truth and adjust his beliefs as necessary. He's trained as a lawyer, someone who takes a position and defends it no matter what, pounding the table and dismissing any evidence to the contrary.
I'm pretty sure the Butler guy was a time traveler.
So let's add an additional screening process for people who just lost everything and are unlikely to have proof of citizenship on their person. Brilliant.
But that doesn't seem to matter when SCOTUS has decided corporations can have "closely held religious beliefs" and these beliefs can exempt them from laws everyone else has to follow.
Free donuts at the meeting with the bigwigs where you have to go over all of it again?
Lately I've been forced to ask an AI chatbot to find things for me after Google failed. And I'm not a fan of AI chatbots, but whatever gets the job done so I can get my writing finished. I've *never* found my answer in Google's "AI summary".
My high school marching band had a pretty cool arrangement of it titled "I Vow to Thee My Country" on the sheet music.
Maybe not "sew", but dissent can definitely be embroidered.
Let me guess - they're going to want to count all of the residents of their prison camps they're setting up in red states. Maybe not all of them. Maybe just, say, three-fifths of them.
I like the way Grounded did this - you have to "peep" the enemies first, then you can see their strengths and weaknesses. It encourages a methodical approach to new areas.
Do I really want to know what "lovingly used" means?
I'm a huge supporter of the LGBT+ community, and I think the shooting itself is the fault of easy access to guns and not LGBT status. I think it's important to get the facts right before the transphobes start blaming this on her being trans.
They're the local NBC affiliate TV station, they're not a random web site. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KARE_(TV)
I'm wondering if this isn't an attempt by the COs to prevent the armed confrontation Trump wants. No one is going to be upset with or throw sandwiches at guys picking up trash. This keeps them from standing around with guns looking menacing.
One issue with folks on this side is that some of yall are never satisfied and never acknowledge the small incremental steps towards change. That is something you did not take note of from the work that Black Americans did for the civil rights of all the people. It’s all “I want all or nothing”.
Ehhhh... www.kare11.com/article/news...
You kind of have to give a shit about "lawful". You get court martialed by refusing to obey lawful orders. There's unfortunately nothing unlawful about ordering National Guard members to position themselves in DC.
It's a lawful order. They're only being ordered to position themselves. There's unfortunately nothing illegal about that.
Maybe you've gone to a different one than I have. I'm not going to write a rave review about them, but I think it's okay and not ridiculously overpriced. Better than fast food when you're on a road trip and really not much more expensive.
They always were
Technically DC is south of the Mason-Dixon.
I disagree - this is the COs knowing the idiocy of these orders and finding a way to follow them to the letter while avoiding a bad look. How can anyone get upset with or protest someone picking up litter? Notice no one is throwing sandwiches at them? They're avoiding the armed showdown Trump wants.
I think this is someone in the lower brass figuring out how to follow the letter of orders without following their intent. Who's going to protest people picking up garbage? Who is going to be intimated by this? And at the same time, they all look busy, so who up the chain is going to complain?
Charlie Kirk's wife is going to write a best-selling tell-all once she finally divorces him.
At this rate they're going to have a hard time charging him with littering.
There really isn't. ICE declined to get involved when TN law enforcement called it in, and they were allowed to go on their way. They didn't even take the supposedly undocumented workers into custody.
I'm pretty sure Trump promised Lutnick her job.
Paxton has shown he's above the law. When that impeachment didn't go through and his pending criminal charges are just... pending, who's going to stop him?
I think the detail that gets lost in Snoop Dogg showing his inability to explain simple concepts to young children is that he has his grandkids call him by his stage name.
Look at what he's actually accused of. He supposedly gave some people who possibly weren't here legally a ride to a new town where they had jobs waiting for them. That's it. That's what he's charged with. Church bus drivers "transport illegal immigrants" every Sunday.
The worker's comp claims when the croupier gets carpal tunnel is gonna be a major hit to the profits.
Next week’s Snoop Dogg show will go ahead as planned. However, the updated rider states that female attendees are not allowed to wear flannel shirts.
Now we know who's in charge of our foreign policy.
There was this moment in the late 90s when Brookstone & Sharper Image tricked gullible people into thinking cheaply produced, breakable-flimsy silver-plastic, generically "future" coded gadgets were high-end, exclusive "rich dad" tech. That's what the Cybertruck is the ultimate expression of.
I like Pritzker. I think he needs to do something to grab some attention the way Newsom has, so that people can see he has a better, more progressive record than Newsom. So does Tim Walz.
And the kind of person who loves New York.
I think often many people miss the actual message of the writers who give us antiheroes. Think about cops putting a Punisher logo on their cars, when The Punisher actually hates cops. Or people who think Homelander is the good guy. They've completely missed the point of the antihero.
It wouldn't stop looking at me.
Make the peg game electronic with LEDs
Yeah but do you have butter pecan French toast bake?
Those are fine, too. My point is they need stuff that grandparents can actually identify for the kids. No one knows what an ox yoke or ice tongs are anymore.
Of all people they choose Jim Jordan to go on TV and say "no one was f*cking kids!" Jim Jordan.
If you watched the A-Team via bunny ears on a console TV, you probably only got one MMR shot. Two shots were not the norm until 1989. Call your mom and ask her. For the moment, cheap or even free boosters are available at your local health department.
This is what you get for hosting a Yuri Geller residency.
Cracker Barrel is updating their stores because no one is around anymore to tell us what this or that farming implement hanging on the wall was for. I think now they should replace that stuff with SCSI adapters and token ring cards and Jaz drives and 8" floppies.
The trolling with the potato chips is just *chef's kiss*
No one alive was involved in Antebellum slavery. There's no one to protect. The last Civil War widow died several years ago. What's so hard about acknowledging our past? No one will be forced to take accountability for holding slaves 160 years ago.
Are you queueing 30 minutes for 7/11 sandwiches?

Find a free VPN such as Proton VPN for your phone. On the desktop, many browsers such as Firefox and Opera now have built-in VPN services.
As more states implement these fascist restrictions on free speech and the right to remain anonymous, it's important to arm ourselves with the tools needed to make them irrelevant. Find yourself a free VPN service now while you still can.
That *will* go up, as they haven't even started campaigning for it yet. The current support is just from Newsom firing off tweets.
I don't think John Bolton is a psychopath like many in the Republican leadership, he's just really, really wrong about a lot of things. He needs to not be given authority anymore, not sent to prison for insufficient loyalty to Dear Leader.
