What will be the going rate for being put on a hugely popular starter pack?

Also, once you are on a few wildly popular starter packs the administrator of that list could crush your follower count for any reason.

This project is headed towards popular kids with kingdoms.

The #measles vaccine has saved an estimated 5 lives every second since 2000.

Prevent measles by getting vaccinated with two doses of the measles vaccine.

Looking for alternative press reads and came across this. The Maple. New to me, but curious to see more.
NEW: Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, whose fans engaged in racist chanting and vandalism in Amsterdam, is owned by Canadian billionaire and real estate tycoon Mitch Goldhar.

Despite promises to tackle racism, MTA fans are still considered among the most racist in Israel. www.readthemaple.com/canadian-bil...

The Rubio appointment is designed to pown Marco. Trump will destroy Marco as the SoS and Trump gets to pressure Desantis on who is appointed to Marco’s Senate seat. Trump will want it to be a family member.
Marco is a dumb ass not to see he’s walking into the end of his career.

Folks, beware of invading trolls. Report them, block them, use blocklists.

Yelling at them is pointless. It's what they want.

Folks: Don't Red Wave yourself.

The race so far shows that country is more polarized, w/rural areas swinging to Trump by ~5 and suburban/urban areas swinging to Harris by we don't yet know bc they're not counted, but in some cities turnout is historic.

There are FAR more people in latter areas.

I am intrigued by the rise of accelerationism among western self-described leftists, a discourse that was mostly present in the right before this cycle. It’s strangely reminiscent of the IMF’s shock therapy doctrine: that imposing maximum suffering will lead to radical structural change. 1/

As an intern for the Yakima Herald-Republic I picked peaches for a story I did in the summer of 1999. I fell off that ladder and luckily landed on my ass.

It is HARD work. Insanely hard work. I have never looked at peaches the same.
Jesus has worked in Yakima WAs apple harvest for 20+ years. "It is very tiring work. I carry a heavy bag that I put the apples in. I must carry it up and down tall ladders as I harvest the apples. I have to be careful because it is very dangerous as one can fall." #WeFeedYou

After he fellated the microphone to protest troubles with the PA system his own people realized that it was just as risky to mess with the microphone to stop him from saying horrible shit as it is to let him stand on stage without a working microphone and pantomime his rage

200+ trick or treaters tonight and almost 400 treats handed out. So much fun. I liked “Whoopie Cushion.” Took them a while to find the right fart - I loaded them up with bonus treats and they yelled “woohoo I knew it would work!”
Lots of homemade costumes. Lots of rain too.
