I’ve read some eye-rolling Heated Rivalry takes, but this one demonstrates such a bad faith interpretation, a misunderstanding of Romance as a genre, and a failure in media literacy and critical thinking skills that I don’t know what to do. 1/

The cat who died - but got better - is having his corrective surgery today to finish the work they started before he died (but got better).

I'm well into five digits for pet bills this year, so please RT a book from this long book thread.
"Men made me very angry." - Goodreads

Read my historical fantasy - an exploration of grief, guilt, and one woman's search for internal peace. Also ghosts.

Complete series.

He’s “illegally” changing the sign.

When will yall get it? This is how America was stolen. How Rushmore was made. All illegal. Illegal land grabs, illegal buildings, illegal. America is an ILLEGAL state.

It does not enforce itself. It only polices those it needs to oppress for extraction.

This is some capitulating bollocks:

I'm glad he's been dropped, but the senior staff involved should resign. They hid, enabled & normalised his behaviour, which targeted staff in poorly paid, very competitive entry level positions who had zero power & knew that any pushback would likely threaten their entire careers.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.

THREAD: The FDA has made it difficult to find where medications are made. Today we're changing that with our latest tool.

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

Here's how you can use it. 1/

Good demonstration of why today's windstorm along Colorado's Front Range is more dangerous than Wednesday's. Wed wind left vegetation critically dry. Any 🔥 that ignites will burn hotter and faster than if trees held more moisture.
You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

A hill on which I will die: Calvin and Hobbes is one of the great pieces of 20th-century American literature in no small part because it was never turned into anything aside from a comic strip. Leave it be.

The US TikTok sale has been signed. The company will be controlled by a joint venture including Oracle, Silver Lake, Andreessen Horowitz, Abu Dhabi-based MGX. Adding a UAE company really makes it clear that this was never about national security concerns.
