Hey, @microsoft.com, when I have a chart situated directly above another chart in a Word document, that means I want the caption for the first chart to be numbered FIRST in order. I don't want the SECOND chart to be "Figure 1".

Dear f**king lord.

I've been back to it time and time again, and I'm sure Infinity War is the best piece of cinema to ever hit the big screen. Is it the smartest? No. The most technically sound? No. Would the #CinemaSins guy have a field day with it? Yes, and I watched it (CinemaSins is hilarious). But it's awesome.

I'm simply amazed by people's depth of knowledge. In the past few months the same people who are expert economists, epidemiologists, and wildfire management experts are now all both experts in constitutional law & Roman history.

Absolutely amazing. 🙄

When did we stop listening to ACTUAL experts?!
January 22, 2025 at 2:32 PM
My hot take is that it doesn't really matter if he did a Roman salute or whatever. It doesn't matter if Trump swore on the Bible or not. It doesn't matter if Carrie's music didn't work.

That's all distraction from the real issues. LGBTQ+ people losing rights. The WHO. Birthright citizenship. 1/2
