why isn't it being more publicly acknowledged that he's the perfect example of someone getting brain damage and becoming republican?

So far in 2026, I’ve replied Stop/End to 37 random political texts asking me for money. It’s making me almost regret having contributed to past campaigns. There’s no way to stop these coming, right?

Stanley Tucci has a meal with the U.S. women's hockey team Stanley Tucci broke bread with the women's ice hockey team on their day off to discuss what position Tucci would play if he were a hockey player, the rivalry between the U.S. and Canada and more.

This happened earlier in the games, before they won, but it's still a great comparison!

There’s a video of another ICE murder, either make sure your media settings are right, get off for a while, or be ready.

I totally agree with the alt text that "smush-faced" is a type of cat.

My doctor, the equipment supplier, and the manufacturer tell me to change my CPAP mask cushion every 2 weeks for safe and effective therapy.

Insurance will give me *1* per 6 MONTHS.

No one at any part of the process can do anything about it.

Our health system is so broken and I feel so defeated.
