One by one, victims fell to it, too scared to move or scream, their deaths brutal and bloody
But none sated its hunger. It needed a virgin

Abbott is trying to convince us that drag shows are the real threat to children in public spaces. Meanwhile, firearms are the leading cause of fatalities among children and teens in Texas. Priorities are skewered, to say the least.

My distraction drug, Diablo II, has crashed - the GPU-side fan on my laptop died so it now turns off at high temps
I guess it's for the best, I was obsessing over builds rather than the WIP and facing reality

Nope, it's not good - my heart is weak and I'm at risk of a faint/drop dead heart attack
But it's not all bad, I got some meds, there'll be diet and lifestyle changes, and we'll see in 2 weeks if I've improved or need a defibrillator

Good morning! The next word from my Xword book index is #geography - not one of my better subjects from school, though I enjoyed drawing maps.
I still prefer real maps - if I don't know where I am now, how can GPS tell me where to go next?

Which means those changes will need the support of climate sceptics like Matt Canavan, who recently called for renewable projects to be replaced by new coal plants.

In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019
It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .
