‘I didn’t mean to scare anyone’: Dolly Parton’s sister says after asking for prayers

I’ve seen quite a bit of Foundation across multiple seasons, and this show is about…nothing? In space?

I need Cecily Strong to make a guest appearance in SNL as Pam Bondi. The specific energy she gives as Jeanine Pirro is perfect to mock that senate hearing.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

They’re going to call us violent, doxxing, communist pedophiles if we quietly stay home reading all day.

Might as well publicly embarrass them when we can. Maybe shame a few of them into quitting.

And I can’t explain it but he’s giving “bald and embarrassed by it” energy

The other day, I started writing for fun again for the first time in years, and it’s thrilling.

I’m really happy with how one of the poems is turning out. I had forgotten how good I was at internal rhymes.

I’m thankfully not looking for work at the moment, but I have not heard from a recruiter in AGES. Not a peep.

A year and a half/two years ago, I was beating them away with a stick.

I don’t know who Mike Davis is but this is antisemitic as fuck

Mike Davis, a conservative attorney close to Trump, tells Rolling Stone. “George Soros, and the octopus of his left-wing organizations, must be investigated.

According to trump, we can take people in the country legally and put them on a plane to another country without a trial.

Hakeem, chloroform him. Chuck, hogtie him. Nancy, put him on your private jet and fly him to The Hague.

If the president doesn’t care about the Constitution, then neither do I.

Oh that makes sense. I was thinking “I’m fucking your dad,” but that’s only four words

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

Is she sometimes anti-feminist? Sure. But this song isn’t the attack on another female artist that people are trying to make it out to be.

Father Figure is not about Olivia Rodrigo. It’s about Scott Borchetta fucking her over on her masters.

“You want a fight? You found it. I got the place surrounded.” Her fans gave her the money and power to pull it off.

She says “I protect the family” six times. This is the family in question.
