I was feeling very down on myself because I'm struggling a lot to lose weight. Happened to compare a picture taken last night(left) to one from ~10 months ago in the same shirt(right) and was delighted to see such a significant difference.

I cant wait for the @mikeflanaganfilm.com Carrie series. I would absolutely love if songs from the musical were woven in as theme music or instrumental scores.

As i age, I feel myself truly not giving a fuck about what new words mean, and realizing I detest my smart watch and smart phone. Give me a fit but that only tracks work outs. Give me a phone that has texts and emails and a maximum of three other apps.

Musical to Film adaptations hardly ever work. Chicago is truly the only one I can think of where the Film is an exceptionally well done take.
Film to Musical, though? Bangers.
Shrek? Amazing.
Legally Blonde? Literally made a nearly perfect movie even better.

I was wondering who is more unbearable, mom-fleuencers or finance bros?
Then I realized I absolutely love "SLOMW" And I EAT UP that drama and mess but I would NEVERRRRR watch a reality TV show about finance douchebags.

We got Fetterman'd again.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is set to unveil a budget plan that would cut health care benefits for undocumented immigrants, a stark reversal of his promises of universal health care for all, including “all low-income adults" regardless of their immigration status.

This is misleading. There was never a policy to limit restrictions on salmonella. This bill was to introduce limits.
It's still bad, but you are lying.
Do your fucking research. There's too much going on to be shooting off about shit you don't know about.

For 528 days, Valerie the miniature dachshund survived in the Australian wilderness by eating roadkill and eluding the grasp of humans who wanted to rescue her. All the while, her owners worried about whether they would see her again.

Man changes his mind literally every day. This isn't a good trait to have as a president. Putting politics and ny hatred for him aside, this is a HORRIBLE trait for a president to have.
President Trump says he doubts Russian President Putin wants to end his war in Ukraine, expressing new skepticism that a peace deal can be reached soon and hinting at further sanctions.
