His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!

Yeah, the new Muppet Show is cute, and Sabrina Carpenter was basically the perfect first guest for it. If they make more they should do Chappel Roan next. The Muppet version of "Pink Pony Club" would be wild.

Fun conclusion after a thread today:

Lay people misuse legal terms a lot by attempting to apply colloquial meanings to technical contexts.

Lawyers without appropriate technical backgrounds should really stop doing the same thing to the word "algorithm".

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.

Us: That sounds-

Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
