Open Range is one of those movies you find on tv from time to time and I will always get sucked into it. RIP, good Sir.

Every 33 minutes for almost 10 years now.

Meet the Only Runner on Cardozo Education Campus’ Girls Cross-Country Team Daryerly Yriarte is managing school, a part-time job, English classes, and the internal struggle to just keep running.

It’s easy to forget what a privilege it is to just lace up your shoes and go for a run.

I don’t have all the details obviously, a near-miss by itself might not warrant firing, but often the investigation finds some command culture or procedural factor that undermines “confidence in ability to command.”

Word on the street it was fallout from a shiphandling near-miss.

IDK two year old graffiti in an arena feels like they’re giving up.

Also lol that someone cared enough about a Haley-Trump ticket to put in the Scope men’s room.

Yeah, been doing that too, there’s just nothing that jumps out at me.

I think my problem is I love the Subaru but coming to realization the brand is more a vibe than value or competitive mpg.

At some point I need to cancel something, get Hulu and watch the Americans.

I loved S1 of the Diplomat. TBH I struggled a little with S2, I just found the romance subplots annoying.

@reaDonald Trump
The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections.
This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

“Searched the depths of Legal Arguments” means “clicked through two pages of google search results.”
