I will not call posts here 'skeets.' Never mind that where I come from, that word would typically refer to a blood-sucking, disease-carrying flying insect, there is a simply better portmanteau to be used.
Bleet, a homonym for the sounds sheep and goats make, is perfect for posting to social media.

Michigan v. Gonzaga
Michigan has actually played kind of sloppy in the first 5 minutes of their 2nd half and have extended their lead to 30. Over Gonzaga.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Great reminder of the level of intention and detail animators bring to their art.
Ginnifer Goodwin tells us how the animators at Walt Disney incorporated her real-life mannerisms into Judy Hopps for ‘ZOOTOPIA 2’
“Now, when I’m watching [Judy on screen], that’s why I’m getting flashes of myself... it has to do with how she smiles in different ways.”

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Yes, consumers are famously able to negotiate pricing with giant corporations. I'm sure most of them will also be able to rely on their personal attorney to help with any desired modifications to policy terms and conditions.
He's proposing this again today:
1. Take money away from insurance companies.
2. Give that money to the people.
3. The people can then buy their own insurance.
4. From, presumably, companies that sell insurance.
5. Which are also known as "insurance companies."

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.
