If you're thinking about reconnecting with somebody but haven't taken the chance, do it now. You never know if you'll lose the chance entirely.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Drew and Marie talk about consent, because apparently NO ONE in this episode has heard of it 🙃 Sam’s got an angel joyriding his body, Dean’s got MORE lies, Cas learns to human (badly), and Bart needs to get punched in the dick. It’s messy. It’s cursed.

Listen Twilight is so bad and we love it so much. The acting is ridiculous, the villains aren't scary, and the teens are Angsty which makes it the perfect bad comfort movie

TYLENOL
We stand with science, and we stand with you.
For generations, families have trusted TYLENOL® when it matters most.
Why? Because Tylenol is one of the most studied medications in history.
The facts remain unchanged: over a decade of rigorous research, endorsed by leading medical professionals, confirm there is no credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism.
Acetaminophen is used worldwide as a first line of defense for pain relief and fever reduction, at the recommendation of independent public health and leading medical professionals and in accordance with the product label.
High fevers and pain are widely recognized as potential risks to a pregnancy if left untreated, especially in the first trimester.
Remember to talk to your doctor.
We prioritize science as the core of how we provide care, and that will never change.

So MSNBC reportedly fired Matthew Dowd tonight just hours after Jesse Watters called for his "immediate" termination over his Charlie Kirk shooting comments.

Meanwhile, Watters said he's going to "avenge" Kirk's death because "they are at war with us" -- and he'll face no repercussions from Fox.
