Not sure who needs to hear this but it's not about never making a mistake or always making the right choice. It's about believing/knowing/trusting that you will recover if it's not the right choice, if it fails, or if it goes wrong.

You are going to be ok.

What the actual eff is this clock management Vikings?! Trash.

I can't prove it but I'm prettttyyy sure cheaterbuster is either creating AI social videos or has undisclosed influencers where the girl films the reaction of her boyfriend/husband getting caught.

It doesn't feel like a coincidental trend that's catching on in the exact same way every time.

Supervising college interns again really reminds me how I just raw dogged college. No clubs. No activities. Just class and turning randos into friends 🤣

NECESSARY ACTION! Instead of demanding our federal govt to help, the downline needs to step up and put those systems into place instead.

Conservatives want less federal overreach? Fine. Eyes on your own states then.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

From the depths of my Internet memory, I know for 100% certain I read a comment one time when laser hair removal really took off that joked about one day having "wigs" and "toupees" for our pubic areas.

Fired Up is the quintessential early 2010s teen movie and is severely underrated.

I am begging parents to stop posting where their children go to daycare, preschool, school when all of these places continue to publicly share calendars, events, trips etc on their websites.

Can we please just try to take safety in the digital age seriously for our children AT THE BARE MINIMUM?

If you don't like a decision someone else made, instead of being mad, just ignore it 👍🏼 Hope this helps!

With Love, Meghan season two is so much better than the first. I'm extremely jealous of the time to be so thoughtful and intentional and to be slow. I just don't have that luxury right now but maybe one day.

Republicans scream “free speech”… until the truth hurts their fragile politics. Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended, but hate, lies, and conspiracy theories run free. Once again, they prove selective outrage is their brand.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute.

But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption.

We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Not surprising they're checking citizens' social media channels, they've been doing it in visa interviews for incoming international students.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.

REPORTER: How much wealthier are you now than when you returned to the WH?

TRUMP: The deals I made for the most part, other than what my kids are doing - they're running my business - were made before. Where are you from?

R: Australia

T: In my opinion you are hurting Australia right now. Quiet.

We thought No Kings Day in June would be a good protest. We did not know it would break records, with 2,169 protests in every state and 27 countries.

We need your help to make October 18 even bigger: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

In an interview on Fox & Friends, Trump was asked how to “fix this country” and “come back together.” His response included:

“I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime …

"Patel stood to the side during a brief press conference, saying nothing while wearing an FBI windbreaker. Making matters even more awkward was the fact he recently gutted Utah’s FBI division for reasons that have still not been explained." — @justinglawe.bsky.social

Kash Patel's FBI is a total mess

A new lawsuit indicates he's too busy chasing online clout to notice.

I am not new to Vikings football, so I'm not getting my hopes up, but it feels *different*. They're positive. They're aligned. They're all on the same page.
