stopped by the old house when I was in town. looks the same, but dad clearly hasn’t been keeping up with the mowing. went to see the dead woman in the well behind the house; she was pretty mad, but ever since I realized she can’t get out she hasn’t been as scary. knew about my kids somehow though

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.
They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Hello. I am a regular but peripheral character in a TV series. This episode I've got a lot of screen time as well as numerous funny/poignant lines and I'm confident this is because I'm about to get a more prominent role and definitely not that I'm about to die in a tragic car accident or something.

Jeffries is buying time for us to keep the pressure up. Two reps have flipped, for now—can we get two more? Call your Republican house reps if you have them.
At this point there's reason to think everyone's set, but yeah. No reason to stop calling until the gavel drops.
