That’s cool, not feeding your sailors always turns out fine
Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.
So here’s the question no one can ignore: how did he know who to send those letters to if they were anonymous? 2/2
If you do abundance work, play the eight-minute track every morning while you dance in front of a mirror.
Nope, it’s the classic by Anita Ward, but it’s now popular on TikTok for a superstitious reason.
Supposedly it’s been banned in casinos, because when it plays people get too lucky with wins & payouts. No proof I can find of that, but parts of Tiktok are convinced & now dance every morning to it.

You know, there is actually ONE thing positive that trump has done. I think as a whole, our country can identify the meaning of more amendments to the constitution. Before, I think we only really knew the 1st, 2nd, and 5th. Now:
10: states rights
14: birthright citizenship
25: removal of president

As local governments face grueling budget cycles, they're left to decide how to spend resources to address homelessness. Over 9 months, a PSU research team asked homeless residents what they need, and the report offers nuance to what studies find are effective ways to address homelessness.

I feel like “the world passed peak gas-powered car sales in 2017” is not a widely known fact
Palantir discovered ontology in much the same way Columbus discovered America.
That is to say:the broligarchs are thieves & barbarians. They plant their flags on others' work & say "look at our genius!"
Now they're claiming to have "popularized" a well-known branch of philosophy 1,000s of yrs old.

On this International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade, a reminder that universities need to go much deeper in 'acknowledging links' to the trade in enslaved Africans. What about what was LOST & continues to be lost?
