I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

A Black woman named Aliyah was struggling to find work. So, she catfished herself and made a fake profile on LinkedIn named "Emily." Emily had the same qualifications as Aliyah but received 57.9% of interview invites while Aliyah received 8.9%

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…

My husband sent me a cute video last night of a cat dressed up in a pumpkin costume and complained that I never dress our cat up so I sent him this picture to explain why.

So you're saying if we'd sprayed stuff white and then put a red cross on it the media would have supported us?
You live and learn I guess.

Honeybees understand the concept of zero, or "null set", putting them in the same cognitive class as parrots, dolphins and primates in that regard.
What's more interesting to me is HOW WE CAN KNOW THAT.
The experimental design is what I want to focus on:

RFK Jr is evil. Murderous and evil. Even my Trumpie landscaper is disgusted. Why? Because his stepson is a paramedic who’s saved many lives with Narcan. He saved them. Then he scolds them. But they’re alive to make other choices.
RFK must be impeached.

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program?
No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾
