For a long time, DC used me (with my consent, I always found it flattering) when they had a side character they felt had lost its shine. The idea is that I was good at rehabbing them and giving them a bit more clear purpose and style.
I always found it super fun and challenging in a good way.

Just another reminder that the once-great Washington Post is now just a MAGA propaganda outlet.

We had a great time at the annual Clean Water Celebration in Peoria! 💧
Students got a hands-on look at how we monitor water quality, using tools like a Secchi disk for water clarity, identifying macroinvertebrates as indicators, and measuring chlorophyll with a hand pump.

How long if i also want a fake birth certificate?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department watchdog says it is reviewing the department's compliance with law mandating release of Epstein files.
The second-most reckless driver in NYC - whose RAM 1500 truck has racked up 547 speeding or red-light tickets since 2022 - is a NYPD officer.
All that a police spokesman would say is that those speeding tickets were "not related to his job."

The plan is to blame Biden for Trump's catastrophic fuck-up.

Eric Trump went on FOX to brag about winning ANOTHER multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration.
I've been sounding the alarm and pushing for answers.
Is the Pentagon just a cash machine for Trump’s kids now?
This looks like corruption in plain sight.
Climate change is pushing wildfires into regions where they were once rare. A new study of 9,500+ species warns that high-latitude areas and South America face "elevated risk."

The Federal Censorship Commission is abusing its power again. This time, Carr is waging Trump’s culture war by targeting programming that includes trans and nonbinary people. This censorship campaign is un-American and unacceptable. Trans rights are human rights.

Exactly. Blanche is the one who cut a deal with Maxwell to waive her sex offender status. He got her “out custody” and moved her to club fed. He’s the Michael Cohen of the Epstein era.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, there's an image of a closeup on the head of a yellow morph timber rattlesnake, with text above it that says "Behold the snake: Cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty, it embodies evil and sin. Who knows what malevolent thoughts lurk in its mind?" In panel 2, the snake is zoomed out slightly, and a thought bubble rises above its head with three dots inside it. In panel 3, we're zoomed out more to see the whole snake curled up on a rock with a colorful background behind it, and there's a thought bubble rising from its head that says "Mmm warm sun." In panel 4, we're zoomed out even more, and the snake is sitting on a rock at the top of a hill with green grass and trees, a vibrant background of mountains and lakes behind it, and a bright blue sky with a golden cloud and birds flying. The snake is thinking "Nice day."
Behold the snake.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.
