It's because they want the conventionally attractive woman and not one who looks like them. They are not looking to find a partner, but someone to make other men jealous. They view women as objects not people.

This is location dependent. I'm 45 minutes from 2 marine bases, and both bases have honor guards that travel short distances. Though I do not know how much that service costs. And, the platoon of soldiers as witnesses is a stretch.

It's not ignorance but pure hatred that is driving this. The supposed pro-life movement has always been more about punishing women than saving lives. They hate the idea of women being autonomous and choosing what to do with their bodies. They want women to suffer and die for choosing to have sex, and the innocent girls and women who may have followed all of the rules are just collateral damage.

Everything about her costume confuses me. Yes, I'm calling it a costume because she's intentionally wearing pieces to promote a message. I just cannot for the life of me figure out the message. The ball cap, the obviously styled hair, the expensive watch and earrings, the plain white tee shirt all of it adds up to an incoherent mess.

I like perfume and have a collection. I do compliment people on their fragrance when I can recognize the scent because I know how marvelous it is and how much money it may have cost them. I also welcome non-creepy compliments on my scent of the day.

I am cackling. Also, I can totally see Krennic doing the Star Wars version of adding the wrong person to the group chat.

Pete's history of alcohol abuse is well-documented and also discussed during his confirmation hearing. His coworkers at Fox News knew he was a drunk, and the family of his ex-wife wrote letters to Congress detailing it. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/24/pete-hegseth-what-we-know https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/pete-hegseths-drinking-worried-colleagues-fox-news-sources-tell-nbc-ne-rcna181471

His obituary has the ability to be a hoot. "George is survived by his sons: George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI, and his daughters: 1-6 who's names I am not listing, and Georgette." I liked the concept of the grill, but it was a pain to clean properly.

Mayor Pete is over on TikTok making up for Hilary's decorum. And yet, still being eloquent and competent. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2nWqKqS/

I seriously cannot fathom how this happened. I am an idiot and have done some dumb shit over the years, but I have never texted the wrong person sensitive information. It's not that hard to make sure you are texting in the correct group chat (Which good lord, planning a war through group chat??????? How secure is this?)

The thing that kills me about dismantling the DoE is the timeline. Killing it now means the states are not going to have the time and money to put in replacements for IEPs before school starts again in August. Some school districts will be able to pivot quickly, but others will struggle. There are going to be a lot of irate parents come next school year when they find out their kid(s) are no longer going to get the help they need because all federal funding is gone or the federal requirements are gone. We all know some great teachers and public schools and we also know of the horrible teachers and administrators who only do what they are legally required to do. If the DoE goes away, there will be kids who suffer because their local public school sucks.

And Elon is not that smart nor organized to pull off massive voter fraud. He's rich and has a following who believe him to be the world's smartest man, but he is only an evil mastermind in his fantasies. His actions prove otherwise. From Doge firing those nuclear guys and having to immediately rehire them or having to recall every. single. Cybertruck because the stainless steel panels were attached to the body using glue. If Elon did try to rig an election, then the results would be laughable like a dead guy or Mickey Mouse winning.

While I am not a fan of Amy Shumer, I do appreciate the logic behind this. That chart is some pretty basic information that many of us already know, but please do not underestimate how many girls and women there are in America who are ignorant about their bodies because religion and it's gross. My mother never once mentioned tampons when I started. I had to learn about them on my own, and I'm a nerd who did actually read the whole insert.

I also work in a public library, but the two previous directors were afraid to rely too heavily upon IMLS. They preferred to only use local funds and rarely applied for grants. This means our budget is safe for the moment at least, and we will not have to adjust services.

And the laws that allowed for that loaded history are still on the books. The various levels of American government have stopped enforcing those laws, but never got around to passing new legislation to overturn those laws. Neither the Civil Rights Act nor the Americans with Disabilities Act were written in a way to nullify those old laws. I know this is more of a tangent, but it baffles me that America has never passed a law to overturn Buck V. Bell. That case has been weakened over the last century, but it is still legal to sterilize people without their consent.
