Wow, was hoping Nixon would win but truthfully didn't expect it to happen! Very glad to see her win this race.

β€œThe fund-raising disparity between Alex Vindman and Angie Nixon was massive. Nixon raised $975,000 over the course of the campaign while Vindman, powered by a national donor network, raised $16.3 million, or more than 16 times as much.” β€” NYT

German traveler FreddyLA7 went to a game at Jordan-Hare and stopped at a Buc-ee’s at the same day. He went to a Waffle House yesterday. He’s speedrunning the SEC experience.

I'm glad the food didn't go to waste, but "freeze dried" has to be a mistake lol. I don't think hotels just have random freeze dryers lying around and if they do it's certainly not enough for 2600 meals. Also a steak still won't be dried yet even if they started from frozen and on Saturday night.

This is lovely, and impressive that the kitchen at the Hilton could pivot this fast and this effectively.

YOU - β€œPromiscuity -- you mean the *cock carousel*.” (Twirl your hand around in the air.) MEASUREHEAD - YOU USE VULGAR HUMOUR TO DISTRACT YOURSELF FROM THE PAIN THAT WOMEN HAVE CAUSED YOU. IMPOTENT RAGE AT THEIR PROMISCUITY WILL NOT HEAL YOU. AND IT *REPELS* WOMEN.

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

I asked Mewgenics' creator, Edmund McMillen, about all the touchy topics bubbling up in the game's discourse. Why that title? How has he changed since his early days of making provocative browser games like Dead Baby Dressup? Why does he use real birth defects and disorders in his games?
