I'm a re-poster more than an original poster. I love lively -civil - discussion ,thoughtful opinions , but am often tempted (sorry ,Mrs. Obama) to go low. Usually , I can resist that urge. I have finally accepted the penguin as my spirit animal

Not really sure about that , but they had a monopoly . So , it would make sense. But ,as I understand it , diamond engagement rings didn't really become a thing until the early 20th century. And then it was Tiffany's who created the market , making it a must have.

Not trying to be a smarty-pants here , but I did know this. The highest quality , flawless diamonds are rare . But there are lots of diamonds out there, beautiful to the naked eye even if flawed .And like he said , marketing is responsible for this whole value/mystique around them.
Chicago strong! Resist! This is what democracy looks like.
Me too ๐
I love watching big cat mamas with their babies. So precious.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is now less valuable than a few Chuck E. Cheese tokens.

So beautiful ๐ฅฐ
Best one yet !!!!!
I've done some stupid sh_t in my life , but never this level.
Fuck Trump. And if he is dead or soon to be , Fuck him in Hell.
Illinois should issue arrest warrants for Kristi Noem and Mumbles Homan the minute their thugs step foot in Chicago.
Genius !
Weโre all complaining about the poor quality of journalism in the MSM, and rightfully so. Hereโs a solution: donโt use it. Fewer views = less revenue. They respond to the marketplace same as any other business. I get 90% of my news from NPRโฆand I contribute every month.

I wholeheartedly agree
Direct . On point . And honest .

More proof that RFK jr. is unable to think critically
Actually , she's both . And she is other awful things , too.
Today in 1715 one of the towering figures of history, Louis XIV, died. His 72 year reign remains the longest verified reign in world history, beating our Elizabeth II by under 2 years. He enlarged France ...... and broke it. His last few years were marked by personal & dynastic tragedy ๐
Uh huh
Thanks , Max , I hadn't thought of that. You know , just in case.
Obsessed with the absolute shade of referring to Giuliani as โFormer Masked Singer contestantโ
They loaded up those planes with children - some as young as 10. I donโt believe they had a safe place to go in Guatemala. And the government did not care. This admin is the least compassionate of any in my lifetime.
I didn't know this , either. But Bauer is beautiful through all these stages ๐ฅฐ

Years ago I found a pack of this postcard in a gift shop. I had lots of fun sending them to certain people.

Such true words. One of the joys , for me, of growing older is having accepted this message I am enjoying my life while living with this truth. Listen to Larry !

He starts randomly jabbering on about getting into heaven. Mysterious bruising on his hand. He disappears from the public eye for days. Even a child would suspect something was up. Everyone but Congress and mainstream media.
Beautiful . Wish I were there.
yeah... doesn't make sense . Of course the whole anti-immigrant thing is based on cruelty .
Hiding the truth often involves twists and turns.
When there are public attacks on Black women that are based on their identities as Black women โ misogynoir โ every Black woman witnessing it is a victim That includes the Black woman youโre discussing it with and/or in front of And this has health implications for every single one ICY forgot
I'm pretty sure I know what didn't happen.

Sorry food workers just know I've been there. I feel for you.

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he isโa predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
Yes. It was me who needed it. Thank you. ๐
Heโs providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

It's a beautiful theory , but I have to go with no. But I like the way your mind works , lukelukeluke .

โ'ILLEGALS' my ass.โ Rami Othmane has a green card and is married to Dr. Wafaa Alrashid, a hospital chief of staff. Despite having legal residency, ICE detained him for 13 days after grabbing him during a grocery run. This injustice cuts deeper than words.

Absolutely perfect in every way
Putin, Modi, and other leaders gathering in China, looking like serious, respectful diplomacy, is such a contrast to Trumpโs fanboying over Putin in Alaska. What an embarrassment. Future historians seeking images to illustrate the end of the American century will have a lot to choose from.
Ha. Haha. Haaa. I get it.
