Do not cite the Deep Horrors to me. I was in Ronald Reagan's America when they were written.

i'm sorry mister johnjamin depp isn't Before anything. his Before years ended roughly 30 years ago

While it seems fairly odd by today's standards that Scrooge would be considered well on his way to death at 57, at the time the movie takes place, it would be fairly reasonable and accurate as the average life span at the time had most people dying before the age of 60. Fittingly, Dickens himself would pass away at the age of 58.

John Christopher Depp II (born June 9, 1963) is an American actor, musician, and filmmaker. He is also an abusive partner and 63 years old.

Given the number of terrible politicians who simply refuse to drop dead, I was starting to believe they'd found a way to escape having heart attacks, but my faith in our leading cause of death for men in their 70s has been restored

From NBC News: Emergency personnel responded to a call for “cardiac arrest” at Graham’s Capitol Hill home on Saturday night, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News. EMS audio later indicated CPR was in progress.

Photographs from the scene reviewed by NBC News show paramedics carrying a person on a stretcher from Graham’s home to an awaiting ambulance. Police cars and fire trucks were also on site.

did you see the photo shoot they did in it?

Below them the town was laid out in harsh angular patterns. The houses in the outskirts were all exactly alike, small square boxes painted gray. Each had a small, rectangular plot of lawn in front, with a straight line of dull-looking flowers edging the path to the door. Meg had a feeling that if she could count the flowers there would be exactly the same number for each house. In front of all the houses children were playing. Some were skipping rope, some were bouncing balls. Meg felt vaguely that something was wrong with their play. It seemed exactly like children playing around any housing development at home, and yet there was something different about it. She looked at Calvin, and saw that he, too, was puzzled.

pope said fix your hearts or die

from clairewillett.bsky.social “I pray for you, because to tear the seamless garment of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity. May the Lord enlighten your consciences and awaken your hearts." 🔥

hits so good when you get to tell a right-wing blowhard "I'm praying for you to change your sinful ways" like they're used to doing to us

Marketing photo of an african-american man wearing the USMNT jersey. It's the same jersey as the women's but they've removed the championship stars. They were definitely on there in Brazil, which is the last clear memory I have of a USMNT jersey

this is the most cursed corporate history I've ever read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_Brew

History
7 Brew was created in 2017, with its first location opening in Rogers, Arkansas.[1]

In 2023, Motley 7 Brew established as a franchise and expanded to over 20 locations by October 2025, supported by investments from private equity groups.[4]

In 2024, the American alternative investment company Blackstone Inc. made a growth equity investment in 7 Brew that allowed it to expand, though it still had about 190 locations nationwide before this point. 7 Brew opened 141 locations throughout 2024 and had a sales increase by 162% to $502 million, ending the year with 321 locations.[2][3][4]

In September 2025, the private investment firm Franchise Equity Firms acquired 7 Crew, 7 Brew's second largest franchisee, which is expected to increase its size by over 200 locations. Taco Bell, Jersey Mike's, and Walmart also started business relations with the company in 2025.[2][4] On September 24, 2025, 7 Brew announced that it would be partnering with American channel Dude Perfect, with plans for appearances in their content as well as a Dude Perfect-themed beverage underway.[5] It opened its 500th location in Toms River, New Jersey, in October 2025.

The cross is focusing on Coates’ pay.Also, he apparently has worked as an expert witness on a few Twitter cases, including the one where Musk tried to get out of buying Twitter. Incidentally, OpenAI’s lawyers are also the ones who made Musk buy Twitter. Is that deliberate shade? Who can say.

two days of good weather plus this view from my departure gate? pnw really making the case that I should move back

A sunset view from an airport tarmac looking toward the silhouetted Olympic Mountains. The sky is a vibrant gradient of deep orange and gold, with dramatic crepuscular rays streaming from behind a prominent mountain peak. In the foreground, the curved winglet of an airplane with a glowing red navigation light is visible alongside the dark outlines of the runway and ground equipment.

I looked at so many fishes, had some raviolis for lunch, and then I bought some yarn and some jams, and now I have found a nice quiet wine bar to eat a cheese and have some wine and read a book

A photo of a bistro table in a dark, quiet wine tasting room. The table has a glass of water, a glass of red wine, a cheese plate, and an e-reader on it.

The e-reader is open on a page of Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil by V.E. Schwab for anyone inclined to snoop

I wrote you by yesterdays

that it will not be best for me to go to Saratoga
at present. I may stay here three weeks longer.
I will at least one week. Some troubles brought
on my horseback ride. I think I'll be better
treated here than in Saratoga. It appears to me
however that you had best go there. You could assist
the Dr Theo. I spend a couple of [ ] and perhaps
more very pleasantly. But of course that is a matter
for your judgement. We would be very glad to have
you come & spend a week more or less here

as long. You might send Cousin Thomas the

the same day you come to Utica you might drop
me a line where from home or in Utica, & if in Utica
inquire if it will go to Tgraefenley next day. The

come up the same day if you chose. The team usually
goes down in the afternoon. & if in the morning not very

europe please give your reporters mass shooter training before sending them to the us

from the Guardian liveblog: Marcin Wrona, US correspondent for TVN Poland, was sitting close to the incident. He told the Guardian’s David Smith: “We were waiting for our dinner and suddenly I heard bang, bang, bang, bang and for a moment we had no idea what was going on but then we immediately heard someone scream, ‘Shots fired!’ and everybody went you know under under the table.

“I stayed on my chair, looking around to see if there is any imminent danger, if I can spot anything. I couldn’t. And some people were really frightened. You could clearly see that.

wow it sure would be a shame if the president's secret service detail could no longer travel because their personal credit cards are maxed out www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/dhs...

Screenshot text: For agents with the U.S. Secret Service, the burden is even more personal. Some within the president's protective detail have paid out-of-pocket for travel tied to protective missions — and have gone unreimbursed for two months.

TSA sucks and we all know it www.theverge.com/policy/91071...

Posted to The Verge Apr 11, 2026 at 11:52 AM PDT
By: Terrence O'Brien
DHS is trying to force Reddit to expose a user who said mean things about ICE.After failing to get details about a user who said “TSA sucks and we all know it,” via a traditional court order, DHS is now dragging Reddit in front of a grand jury. The government has grown increasingly aggressive in its attempts to deal with online critics. Reddit has not said whether it plans to fight the subpoena, but according to The Intercept:
“Privacy is central to how Reddit operates, and we take our commitment to protecting that seriously,” the company said in a statement to The Intercept. “We do not voluntarily share information with any government, especially not on users exercising their rights to criticize the government or plan a protest.”

went to the mountains and made a friend

A blue jay stands on a bed of dry pine needles. He is really blue, like bluer than a smurf, except his head is black instead of white. He was in a tree by the trail and when we got too close he yelled at us and then flew down to stare at us suspiciously from the ground like we might race him for the best worms or something. Don't worry bud, they pay me in dollars I'm not here for worms

this is my local fire station's christmas tradition, they rig it to play holiday music through the siren speaker - you can hear it coming from like half a mile a way

a fire truck lit with so many lights it has blown out the exposure drives down a surburban street at night. there is a christmas tree made entirely of lights and a dozen fire fighters hanging out on top with Santa.

I know we all joke but it's important to remember that just being touched by fun or joy can kill a full grown cop, and there's no narcan for that type of exposure
