Tehran is a city of nine million people, with 17 million in the larger metropolitan area.

Saturday is the first day of the week for Iranians.

Millions of people are at work, and children are in school.

Wonka told Charlie the other children would be fine. But, come on, we're all adults. No one ever saw those kids or their parents again.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

VAN HOLLEN: What did everyone else have for lunch on Epstein Island?

LUTNICK: Everyone else ordered the pedophile salad.

LUTNICK: I ordered a normal salad. With green goddess dressing. But there was... a kitchen mistake.

I'm honored to share that I didn't post some nonsense to LinkedIn humble-bragging about something that isn't particularly noteworthy.

The thing about kids asking about gay people is that most kids, when left to their own devices, will be more confused by anyone making rules that only certain people can kiss or get married than they will be by random people of various genders kissing or getting married.
