Throw in a bowl of mixed flavour crisps and some cocktail sausages on toothpicks and you're on to a winner.
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
when I woke up in the morning I knew exactly what was going to happen. I had my bath on Saturdays; I had the water after Carmel, me and Denise in the bath together. Mammy scrubbed, Daddy dried us. -He didn't. —He did, Carmel. -Not me. -Ah Carmel; he did. -Uh uh. -Didn't he, Denise? I say. —He did. He dried us; he made us disappear inside the towel and pretended he couldn't find us. Half-twelve mass on Sunday, halfway down the aisle on the right side. Daddy wore his blue suit. Mammy ironed his shirt on Saturday night, only his shirt. She did the rest of...
Roddy Doyle doesn't use quotation marks, he has each characters speech start on a new line with a -.
It works.

This is heart-breaking.
Can we end sodding vaping already? Apparently the fire started with an explosion in a vape shop.

Golly.
Good job fossil fuel supplies are:
1) endless
2) easier to access than difficult solar or wind power
3) stable
Good job there's not devastating conflicts or famines around the world that people might want to escape right now...
There's a major plot-point about something very similar in the first season of Homeland.
The US bombing civilian targets is so common, it made it through to TV dramas.
There's simply no words for how awful this is on every level.
The people who are going to suffer from this; the environmental disaster of it; the simple thought that none of this had to happen and the consequences of things like this...
There's never a winner in war.
All wars are crimes.
Just use Vivaldi or a Firefox fork like Waterfox.
I'm hesistant to recommend Brave as it was deep into Cypto last time I used it.
That's a lot of doors!
Helps that the Greens have eager volunteers I imagine.

16in Lenovo laptop on my old computer desk. Laptop is shown running Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
In positive news: treated myself to a new laptop.
It's shiny and runs Tiny Tina's Wonderlands with no problems.

Trump giving a press conferance at Davos (?). He called Starmer forward, patted him briefly on the shoulder then ignored him. Starmer had to head back to behind the podium. Photo shows a lady in a grey suit on one side of Stamer and a man in a smart suit on the other side, both grinning. Starmer is facing the wall, with his back to everyone like a naughty child.
This moment was one for the ages. At Davos I think...
Shrek has been modded into ‘Resident Evil Requiem’ 🧟♂️

Screenshot from Super Mario 1 on NES, pinched from https://thekingofgrabs.com/2019/08/22/super-mario-bros-nes/ Shows Mario stood on a green pipe, 2 goombas (angry mushroom things with feet) heading towards him .
Mario!
I hope you have a blast with it. Try not to rely in the Game Genie too much, Mario is hard but do-able without.
Enjoy.
Awesome choice. Does it work ok?
Your post prompted me to jump on MobyGames. I never knew the NES version offered more levels than the arcade version of Double Dragon 2.
Awesome stuff.

Certainly not right in how Clinton handled her husband's...er...extra-curricular activities either.
