Why are they broadcasting a Hasan Piker thirst trap pic on the Jumbotron at the GOP midterm convention?
"None of these potentially catastrophic scenarios tend to figure in visions of the space settlement community, Deudney told me. Instead, their programs often exhibit all the partiality of “a real estate promotional scheme” inflected with quasi-religious fanaticism." www.noemamag.com/the-mars-del...

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.
