I'm 100% for protecting native species, and we can all also agree that geese are terrible. Just the worst.
Hawaii's Big Island is banning people from feeding feral cats in an effort to protect native species, including an endangered goose.

Sick to death of people claiming Die Hard isn’t a movie. There are several clues that it definitely is:
It’s 130 minutes long and full of actors
It has a beginning a middle and an end
It has a soundtrack
The aspect ratio is consistent of other movies of the era

Could you imagine being a person who changed his name three times then wrote a totally made up story about his blue collar family background while being funded by billionaires calling someone else fake? Me neither. But if I could I'd probably also wear eye liner.
ICYMI — Vice President JD Vance referred to Minneapolis as “Mogadishu”, said Jasmine Crockett has a fake “street girl” persona, and said “you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore” in 🇺🇸

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I absolutely fucking hate it when Rand Paul is right about anything. Darkest timeline.
Rand Paul: "We've never in our past decided just to shoot smugglers who are unarmed without even proof they're smuggling anything. So I think this is a horrendous thing that should stop. I think it's illegal & immoral... the kids in the military - I'm not for sending them down there to die for oil"

His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.
