It has taken a long time... Don't follow me as my interests are so varied I'll just confuse you and even the bots will get bored.

90% of WA's gas is exported by mostly foreign owned gas corporations that pay no PRRT.

Our governments should prioritise the interests of Australians, not gas industry profits.

Now you are running (the new digs are a pretty clear signal) and you will be posting less, or at least differently, here is your opportunity to make this a corgi feed. Appoint Clyde as your spokesdog. He would make more sense than Karoline Leavitt for a start.

Okay, so those are the potential sir effects but the payoff must be huge. I presume that the drug lowers the risk of bone spurs at least?

I hope that you are feeling better. I see that you didn't stay but I can understand why.

But they will make you warmer and cosier for mom to have snuggle against her; leaving Binx, ScareyCat and MrFish getting the cold shoulder, Susie.

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering.

If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.

His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.

He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.οΏΌ

Weiss was hired by CBS News’ new corporate owners, Skydance Media, in what has been seen as an effort to bring more political balance to a news division long criticized by conservatives for having a liberal bent.

Weiss was hired by CBS News’ new corporate owners, Skydance Media, in what has been seen as an effort to bring more political balance to a news division long criticized by conservatives for having a liberal bent.

There is no evidence that CBS News has a 'liberal bent.'

Just because Trump & MAGA & Weiss say this doesn't mean it's true & it certainly doesn't mean actual news organizations like the @AP should repeat it without facts and context. apnews.com/article/erik...
