...especially if Uncle Vlad's family helps pick out "the gift". Oh, Y'ALL are also members of Uncle Vlad's family? NEVERMIND.
Do you think ICE can be "fixed? ICE has been greatly expanded and the huge number of new recruits are doing EXACTLY what Trump wants: send his yet unspoken message to the entire country and The World. Which Sci-Fi version of the message do you prefer: Vogon (darkly comical) or Borg (terrifying)?
I decided to make tarte tatin this year instead of the usual apple pie.
As a programmer, I suspect the airlines are all using a plugin (most likely from Google) for their maps. I sincerely doubt they have any direct control over the labels in the maps. [screenshot from Google Maps in Chrome]
You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

So, I have been taking over the counter antihistamines and decongestants since about 1965. Trust me, the medications that were available in the Sixties contained some pretty scary warnings.
@moviessilently.bsky.social I know this may be one of the few silent films most people are familiar with, so perhaps a bit overshared from your POV. But I have been following the gradual restoration of "Metropolis" for most of my adult life and...
I just gave 24 hour notice for the deletion of my Twitter profile. There are folks I will miss, but I can no longer ethically justify my presence there.
Tale one: oxycontin Oxycontin is not the first opiate marketed as being less addictive than other opiates. Heroin was developed and marketed for the exact same reason. And like Aspirin, Heroin was actually a brand name.
I don't have the photoshop skills, but in today's Hysteria podcast Erin Ryan and former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Barack Obama Alyssa Mastromonaco suggested editing Zuckerberg's photo to put him in a Mumu.
