What if we spliced the genes of Jack Black and Jack White together? Would they become Jack Grey?

He probably believes that. He cares more about keeping his base than anything else. If he’s back in their good graces he thinks they’ll protect/defend him no matter what. He might be right given pretty much everything he’s done so far.

The Epstein files have created a division within the MAGA movement to the point that it’s hurting Trump with his own base. I think he thinks by now supporting its release it will quell any intraparty rebellion. Not sure if that makes sense, but I think he’s out of other options.

Epstein files bill will head to Trump's desk after approval by House and Senate The Senate has approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act to compel the release of documents, after the House passed it 427 to 1.

Trump changed his position on releasing the Epstein files a few days ago so Republicans in both houses of Congress voted to release them. www.cbsnews.com/amp/live-upd...

Hocus Pocus Professor Richard Wiseman welcomes you into a totally new world unlike anything else the magic community has ever seen with Hocus Pocus. This...

I don’t usually share Black Friday deals because I’m not a yankee capitalist slave to Mammon but, Hocus Pocus is going cheap and I think it’s both A) normally a touch too expensive and B) occasionally needs a push since you can’t get it in bookshops.

Video games can teach us a lot of things. Such as, you see a mushroom, definitely eat it without question.

Two Pound Planet - One Time
YouTube video by Gerald Finley Two Pound Planet - One Time

Jangle Pop is my favorite music genre. I’m still amazed when I stumble upon something I’ve never heard of before. Today I stumbled upon 2 Pound Planet and could hear a Mitch Easter influence and lo and behold it’s a Winston-Salem band produced by Easter. Such great stuff!

Sold a Story Documentary Podcast Β· Series Β· Millions of kids can't read well. Scientists have known for decades how children learn to read, but many schools don’t know about the research. They buy teacher training...

Emily Hanford (who wrote this piece) also did a very enlightening documentary podcast a few years ago on the same topic. The story is pretty devastating, but it’s worth sharing since this has set back so many kids.

Supreme Court declines to hear case on constitutionality of same-sex marriage The Supreme Court on Monday morning turned down a request from Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky, to reconsider its 2015 decision recognizing a constitutional right to same-sex […]

It was very obvious they were never going to take this case and some people got very mad if you said that.
