Ok this is not about Mr.Geary- he was a talented actor and did not write the scripts- but am I the only one who remembers the Luke and Laura storyline started with a rape? I’m feeling queasy at all these posts glorifying that storyline and talking about it as a great love story.

Why do we think it’s ok for Americans to spend decades living in other countries and keep their American citizenship? Yet we demonize those who do the same in our country. We call Americans who do this ex- pats and never demand they become citizens of those countries or leave.

Coast to coast, no matter your fame, income, race, faith, or culture, addiction impacts everyone.

My heart goes out to the Reiners and their loved ones- there is a long, difficult road to healing and peace ahead. This is family trauma not news bites.

I am disgusted with @people.com for racing to share this headline.

Unsubstantiated. Not confirmed by law enforcement. Not arrested. This situation is traumatic enough.

Is it possible? Yes. Should we be promoting hearsay for audience clicks? NO!

I recently listened to Cary Elwes memoir of the making of the Princess Bride. Throughout there is such deep appreciation for Rob Reiner as a director, coach, friend, and mentor. I got a brief glimpse of this incredible human. I feel gut punched at the loss of this brilliant and compassionate man.

Phone has now been ringing at my local #cvs for over 9 minutes unanswered. For the past 4 years their business model has been to continually cut staffing, shorten store hours, and reduce pharmacy employees.

I long ago gave up and switched to #walgreens where I don’t have this issue.

Actually I am not wondering at all-

because I’m intelligent enough not to blame an entire race for the actions of a few.

1. He knows the Republicans are planning to vote for release and rather than look like he’s losing control, he’s ordering them to do what they were already going to do. And…
2. He’ll claim they’re part of an investigation (Bondi) and so very sorry but must be kept sealed .

Not “underaged” girls!

Girls
Teenagers
Children
Minors
Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers

No such thing as an “ underage” girl. That’s the language of propaganda and apologists.

Epstein and Trump sexually abused and raped CHILDREN.

On this Veteran's Day, I am thinking of the Over 1.2 million U.S. veterans who currently rely on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits to afford food. And of the approximately 20,000 military families using SNAP benefits, along with 213,000 National Guard and Reserve members.

Heritage Foundation’s ongoing (and so far successful) effort to take over NH by recruiting young, conservative “libertarians” and getting to move to NH and run for office. They vote against school funding and social programs etc. Why isn’t this more in the news?

Re : Melissa.
30 years ago author John Barnes gave me nightmares with the novel “Mother of Storms” The causes were a bit different and the solution is unattainable but the impact on the population is similarly devastating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_...

Ok @cnn.com You are really ok with posting a story that includes this line: "Barack Obama engaged in the “big dig” that retrofitted the Situation Room and dug out space under the West Wing for who knows whatever else."

This reads like a 4th grader's C- essay. DO BETTER.

Note that I especially love that Randy fully committed to the principle of "Tactical Frivolity" that has been gracing protests from Portland Oregon to Portland Maine.

My favorite thing about the #FrogResistance is that we’ve reclaimed amphibians from that ugly incel-groyper-pepe thing. Hurray Portland and the world of tactical frivolity!

“It is fashionable among elites now to frame the majority of people as “NPCs,” or non-player characters, in the parlance of video games: unthinking, sheeplike, atomized automatons. “

A gut punch because it is true in all aspects of our lives now, not just jobs.

Given that Class III obesity (formerly morbid obesity) is a medical condition, how is this not an ADA violation?
