And Ag Aid includes nutrition aid — including SNAP, the country’s frontline defense against hunger, especially for children, women, the elderly and disabled.

Rian Johnson just Rickrolled America and we didn’t even know it
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
