I love a big slimy pile of sauteed spinach with lots of garlic!

Article about hat pins being used as weapons.

I think the federal government should play a really big role in preserving rights and freedoms. Preventing individual states from becoming little tyrannies is important! The feds are also useful for big interstate projects - public health, highways, climate protection. It helps prevent states from fucking each other over.

The issues that are truly local in scale do exist, but the world is shrinking. Is law enforcement local? Mostly. Economics? Kinda. It’s easy to see how our interconnectedness is leading to bigger federal scope.

There’s only a few things I can confidently say aren’t at all in the federal government’s wheelhouse. They shouldn’t be restricting our individual rights, overriding state level protections. Dictating what is a valid marriage, restricting speech, outlawing abortion or gender transition, etc. They could PROTECT those rights, but taking them away should be a state-by-state decision.

Just my opinion if we want a federation of states that preserves freedoms instead of a cluster of warring fiefdoms.

Hat pins about to come back into fashion.

Splitters!

I got it, even if nobody else did.

Is chronic wasting disease communicable between species? I thought prions were species-specific.

When your pilates instructor catches you moving a body

Kawaiiiiii :3

If so it’s still gross of the gunman to take something as pure and wholesome as a school shooting and corrupt it with political overtones by missing his target.

BAYBAY!

Which will come first, Trump’s beautiful perfect plan or GRRM’s Winds of Winter?

Ew, I don’t want any president pardoning their own fuckass kid, I’m not cool with corruption even if it’s the guy on “my side”.

Ok, it sounded like you were saying you had some additional information that there was sexual abuse (like he was a known cheater or something). You’re just saying it’s possible even if it was not reported. Fair enough, the guy sounds absolutely wretched and probably doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
