"Some of my best friends are international laws."
Beth Rigby: "Has the US violated international law?"
Keir Starmer: "Intl law is really important..."
"You're not going to say whether they have or they havn't?"
"I'm going to be clear that I believe in intl law, I've long been an advocate of intl law"

Ok not sure I want to be slavishly committed to Dan forever so might go in a wholly different direction with this 😅

All this talk of PRO-tests but how about a CON-test? The prize is Jodie Foster's respect.

Regardless of the current governor trying to ratfuck the school, I cannot recommend UF/Gainesville enough. One of the most beautiful campuses in the US and one of the kindest, most heartwarming little punk rock cities on earth.

I rarely have an X-Men hot take but I guess mine would be that the Jim Lee Cyclops costume isn’t even close to being in the top 3 Cyclops costumes.

I do like one comic a year of my own between other kinds of creative work and it’s incredibly fun to work on the entire time
Some writers can churn out a script every few days while some authors take ten years to put out a single novel. There is no set pace for writers, no amount of writing that guarantees success.
There is only what works for YOU and what doesn't. That's the only pace that matters.
