I named my fists Shields and Yarnell because I let them do my talking for me but they never say much.
I named my fists Troilus and Cressida because they're rarely produced, lackluster, and mostly just offer a lesson about the futility of violence.
i named my fists Rodgers and Hammerstein cuz theyre always in my own little corner

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Okay now that it is seemingly confirmed via datamine stuff and not just folks posting on Twitter:
If/when Harry Potter stuff comes to Fortnite if you are still playing that game I Will Be Judging You. Fortnite is fun. I've enjoyed playing it over the years.
An HP collab is a Hard Out. Don't do it

“In a rare split with the Trump administration, GOP-led panels in the House and Senate say they want a full accounting in the September military attack.”
Hegseth appears to have crossed a line even the GOP can’t ignore.

Made a big pot of turkey stock today. Tomorrow: Gumbo!
Don't throw away that turkey carcass until you try this Cajun gumbo
In rural Louisiana, Cajun cooks add spicy sausage to Thanksgiving leftovers for a tasty, warming gumbo.

I just opened up the MUBI app and noticed that Robert Kolodney's THE FEATHERWEIGHT is now available there. I saw it a couple years ago at the NJ Film Festival at Rutgers, and was wowed. It's a terrific period-piece biopic. Highly recommended. 📽️

Handing Hegseth over to The Hague is the moderate position.
Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

Been thinking about this for a day or so, and my best answer is HAIR. Fantastic music and irresistible choreography, and a story that shaped my soul since I first saw it in high school, and still lifts it every time I see it.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

Per The Atlantic, An Indiana Republican isn’t running for re-election because “I’d rather my house not get firebombed” - because Trump is mad he opposed his seat-stealing redistricting plan there. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Saying this as head of HR is the reddest flag of red flags. Triangle Shirtwaist times are back, bitches.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
