While I think it's quite likely that we do end up with Senator Paxton (which, frankly, we deserve) if there is *anyone* a Democratic challenger could concievably knock over, it's him
Texas - GOP Senate Polling:

Paxton: 36%
Hunt: 26%
Cornyn: 25%

Paxton: 51%
Cornyn: 34%

Cornyn: 29%
Hunt: 29%

When the media and government move to demonise a minority it’s always noticeable how that minority gets denied the concept of including children or minors, as she was 17 at the time.

The Atlantic & Vanity Fair only ever assign RFK Jr profiles to people who want to fuck him because nobody else can stomach the idea of lying to help him. He's an elderly nepobaby on a mission to kill as many children as possible before he dies, to leave the world more plague-ridden than he found it.

CDC Data Indicates We’re 2 Months Away From America Losing Its Measles Elimination Status
We've talked a lot about measles throughout this year, which is particularly frustrating given that America officially eliminated this disease from its endemic state back in 2000. How we got here is a very simple story: too many people refused to vaccinate themselves and/or their children, giving the virus a foothold which it had been deprived for nearly a quarter of a century.

yes.

a casserole is a dish.

some will tell you it’s a specific preparation.

they are wrong.

if you cook it in a casserole, it’s a casserole.

unless you’re Wolfgang fucking Puck you can refrain from @ing me.
What’s casserole?

Seriously, I’ve never eaten one in my life.

Is a lasagna a casserole? How about a shepherd’s pie?

this type of fan engages with art how Evangelicals and Tradcaths engage with Gd.

orthodoxy is so hollow
I think fans like arguing about canon because there is a sense that it proves their argument is more righteous than an counter-argument. And thus, if you bend, violate, or even SEEM to contradict canon, well, that’s just disrespectful and you should be ashamed of yourself.

But that’s rarely true

You guys interested in more stuff I pulled from Ron Moore’s ‘90s AOL chats with DS9 fans?

This was in reaction to a Season 5 ep retconning Dr. Bashir’s history. OH NO! The sacred CANON was violated!

Ron has the correct perspective (and more patience than I would have.)
