Bet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.

I have seasonal affective disorder but in a way that I'm just depressed during every season besides those two weeks in autumn where the leaves are changing and the mornings are crisp and indie folk music wafts on the winds

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

One of the units I deployed with gave me an award that had the "here I am, lord, send me" verse prominently printed on the certificate I thought it was in bad taste in a war that involved us killing a lot of Muslims and I asked them to take it off before printing and I was told to kindly shut up

12. Beyond anything about the film as a film, it was a terrible and entirely unnecessary choice to film the Trojan Horse sequence in occupied Dakhla, Western Sahara, without the consent of the indigenous population.

Friends, many are saying that KATSEYE's single "Mean Girls" is a stunning example of the influence of a Christian worldview into all aspects of The Culture. Is this a new Sermon on the Mount for our time? In the latest issue of Word on Fire Magazine, I argue that—

New strategy: if we just wait ~10 million years, the Strait of Hormuz will close naturally and Iran will lose all its strategic advantage.

Q: How much patience do you have left with Iran? Trump: I have plenty of time. The Strait is in very good shape. We'll see what happens. If nothing happens, we go back to doing what we were doing

So true, I'm sure giving the GOP full fiscal control over DC will lead to great outcomes for the district's most underserved residents

In a statement, DoorDash tells me that the council passed the "arbitrary" new fee without holding any hearings. "We have always supported home rule for D.C.," says the company. "But will continue to defend D.C.'s small businesses, local economy, and underserved residents."

I frequently take my small children on the bus and metro, ever since they were babies. They know how to transfer, how the bike rack works, they say hi and thank you to the driver. And most importantly, they understand that other people exist on public transportation and to mind their own business.
