People hate on the Star Wars prequels but those films were groundbreaking in so many ways. For example, that was the first time in movie history that a character was named Jar Jar.

For anyone who loved the books but was disappointed with the Disney series, really recommend the Lightning Thief musical

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.

There were times during previous round of negotiations with Salah and Abbas two summers ago when a resolution also seemed unlikely.
One of the options understood to have been discussed by Jürgen Klopp was to replace Salah was Antony.

See this is why I was despairing at all the outlets and creators who posted Rayquaza would be a 7 Star Raid event when we had literally no evidence of this.
Turns out, it's 5 Star like the Dialga, Palkia, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves Raid events.
Serebii Update: Details have been released for the 5 Star Tera Raid Battle against Shiny Rayquaza.
In addition to that, new details for Raid and Mass Outbreak events leading up to this event have been released including Shiny boosted Outbreaks

Stayed at a Holiday Inn last night
At breakfast, the scrambled eggs said “contains eggs”
The fried eggs contained no such warning
Not sure which one worried me more
