You have to hang out in a fascist racist antisemitic homophobic community because this guy is lonely over there, in the fascist racist antisemitic homohobic hangout zone.

People are losing their minds on Twitter and becoming more trick lazy, sloppy and radicalised because the libs are not there to argue against and challenge. Come back.

probably the most efficient way for a future administration to deal with Bovino is to send him to a conference in Germany, and then tip off the Bundespolizei to search his laptop for illegal Nazi paraphernalia, then not work very hard to secure his release.

JetBlue flight 1112 almost collided with a US military aircraft in the skies above Curaçao, because it was flying with transponders off. This news has been reported mainly in Dutch and Papiamentu outlets, as far as I can tell.

Carol is a very good example of “the protagonist is not a hero,” which is a very hard thing for many people to accept.
They're right. The resolve and determination of Manousos is a stark contrast with Carol's selfishness. He is going to be *so* disappointed when he meets her.

Lots of people, for various reasons, don’t or can’t drive. And they manage to live their lives. If you commit repeat DWIs and driving on suspended or revoked licenses, you should have your privilege to operate a motor vehicle revoked. Yes even if it means you can’t drive to your job.

You deserve to lose the privilege to drive. And if your response to that is “but muh job” then (1) your job isn’t more important than others’ lives and (2) fucking figure it out. Get an occupational driver’s license. Have a friend take you. Use public transport. Hire Ubers! I don’t care.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

30mph is actually a flatly dangerous speed to be driving in neighborhoods. 25 is the compromise but 20 is the reasonable speed. An extra 50 seconds a mile is not much of a price for 9x lower mortality rate for the residents if the neighborhood you're traversing

If I hear another person say that Helmut Marko discovered Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen I will not be held responsible for my actions. Seb was a BMW young driver who got poached, Jos was shopping Max to the F1 paddock as a fully formed driver.
