In a TikTok experiment that went viral, a Kentucky woman called 43 churches posing as a mom needing baby formula—most turned her away.
But one Appalachian pastor’s compassion touched millions and reignited debate about how well churches love their neighbors.

If contracts and other considerations allow, I hope FanDuel and the Angels do away with their carousel of play-by-play announcers and select ONE! A pool of game announcers is weak. Pick one, make it Patrick O’Neal. He’d be my favorite pbp since Al Conin.

Oops, it’s 11 consecutive seasons missing the playoffs. 10 consecutive losing.
Another losing season for the LA Angels, no surprises there.

Hahaha, yes! Or at least fewer guests who judge rather than appreciate a normal, comfortable, well-lived, project filled home.
To reduce your stress, keep you home company ready at all times. Do a bit every day. Throw away most of your stuff. Sit in an empty, clean home.
Me: OR, put whatever you want in your home, work on whatever projects you enjoy. Don’t worry about a model home. And invite fewer guests.

Admittedly this is a little pedantic, but I hate the phrase “This Changes Everything”. Because it’s not true, is it? Everything? Really? Nothing changes everything, and it’s the only thing that does. I’ll give you a minute.

Exactly right, expresses what I would have wanted to say if I had the skills to do so. This act of violence is a set back to the cause of combating Xian nationalism and defending our democratic republic. I share HBF’s outrage toward the murderer.
Whoever did this has not just killed a human being, the father of young kids, they have set back the cause of combatting Xian nationalism & defending Am democracy.
Among other things, this repugnant, absolute moron has written a new chapter in Xian nat narrative of victimization and persecution.
