Why read past headlines: You're trying to guess what the marketing looks like for The Right Stuff, this dating app.

Whatever you're imagining, however, it's much dumber and sadder than that. Easier to click than keep guessing!

Here's my latest medical horror story from the federal jail in Brooklyn.

Staff at the Metropolitan Detention Center ignored an inmate's cancer diagnosis for months, letting a mass in his lungs grow to double its size as he coughed up blood, defense lawyers say.

"What the report finds is that Biden held on to 94% of the people who said they would support him before the debate. For Trump, 86% of people who said they would support him before the debate said they would do so after the debate."

Seems timely to post this one, from The Cougar Network's Puma Field Identification Guide. Trail camera photos can be incredibly misleading, especially since they are often in black and white and taken at night. It's hard to envision just how big cougars (aka mountain lions) really are! 🧪🌍🦊

I’ve been vocal about this, but it’s worth restating over and over again: I’m on board 100% with whatever winds up happening. I have my thoughts on what *should* happen, but if my thoughts don’t prevail, I’m on board with what *does* happen. I’d feel more comfortable seeing everyone say that.

Gonna keep banging this drum- it was always on the cards after he came out as the most pro labour president of the 21st century, and probably my lifetime.

I need to talk about how awesome Donate A Mask is. . . they provide free respirators and covid tests to Canadians. I've personally benefitted from both when I couldn't afford to purchase them on my own.

If you have funds, consider donating or purchasing covid supplies to help.
