enjoying imagining the discussion among editors in which they determined if this ought to be pluralized as Spider-Mans, Spider-Men, or Spiders-Man

The former World Liberty adviser said the scenario reminded him of the meme in which two Spider-Mans point at each other.

Almost four years after Tran Dang sued a fellow Love is Blind season five participant and the Netflix show's producers—for sexual assault and false imprisonment, among other things—the lawsuit has been dismissed. The settlement has not been previously reported.

Freelance life is a struggle. Making a living doing any of (waves arms around) THIS is insane. Doing it while constantly dealing with the surprising side effects of surviving cancer? Takes a stronger person than me. That’s who BJ Colangelo is. But she needs help. Can you help? gofund.me/120701466

Edison was a tech bro. He worked on a phone to talk to the dead & believed life came from "swarms" from outer space. He also thought scientists like himself had "high[er] class" swarms. People had... opinions. I crawled thru old newspapers & shared what I found: www.tubetalk.media/p/thomas-edi...

He also thought that "swarms" of life came to our planet from outer space

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.

you know, when someone says something like "these are the things that need to be done to avert disaster" and your response is "you think democrats will do that?!?" all you're telling me is that you think politics is a spectator sport
