Still going... symptoms still mild and manageable. More annoying than debilitating.

My neighbors just up the street from us own A-squared pizza in Charlottesville, and their youngest was recently diagnosed with leukemia.
Their family is really nice, and this is a huge bummer right before the holidays. A GoFundMe has been set up for the family to help with everything.

Like Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive hobo.
Like a 7/11 hot dog got its wish to become a real boy.
Like a Pixar film about a catcher's mitt.

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

We made it 6 years, but our good friend COVID-19 has taken up residence in our house. S has been sick since Sunday, I started getting symptoms Wednesday night despite doing my best to avoid him (including moving into the guest room all week). Basically feels like a nasty cold, thanks to vaccines.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Right, these are the two options: Either they tolerated Epstein's eugenics to get to the sex crimes or they tolerated his sex crimes to get to the eugenics
It seems like all of the rich and powerful people around him patronizingly tolerated the race science stuff (“he has such an inquisitive and childlike mind”) in order to get access to his harem of underage sex slaves
The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"
