Jones couldn’t remember if that was the exact quote as he dragged his bloody, limp leg across the granite tiled lobby, but he felt that his version was appropriate all the same.

Hello! I’ve never really introduced myself. I’m a thriller writer based in NC. 2024 has been a year of rediscovery of my love for writing. While I’m working on my first novel, I also write short stories. You can check out my latest from back in February below!
Glad to meet you all!

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

UN says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
As does Amnesty, ICJ, Israeli human rights org B'TSalem, hundreds of global humanitarian orgs, & virtual every global scholar on genocide.
If you're still in denial, it means either every global org is lying—or you're on the wrong side of history.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is horrific, it's likely to lead to a very dark spiral that will worsen political violence, and it is also a byproduct of a profoundly broken society awash in 400 million guns.

100% this. Also, at the end of the day, no matter your view of him (I couldn’t stand the guy and thought he had horrid opinions) he still leaves behind a wife and a little kid who only knew him as Dad. My thoughts are with his family tonight.
Ugh. To those of you citing Charlie Kirk’s hypocrisy and reprehensible views as an implied justification for his murder, stop and think: do you really think people should get the death penalty for hypocrisy? Or for having stupid, despicable opinions? Democracy doesn’t work if we can’t speak freely.

This!! Doesn’t feel like it should be that hard.
A reminder that "But what if people on YOUR side are on the Epstein list?" is a bullshit argument, EVERYONE who was raping children needs to get into the bin right now, that's the deal here and it ain't exactly complicated
Bill Clinton mentioned during the Epstein press conference, which is a shock, because he's such a stand up guy with no former sexual misconduct accusations against him

100% this. If he doesn’t want the shirt, pass and move on. If he signs with us, wholeheartedly behind him.
If Eze wants Arsenal over Tottenham, so be it. As always, if the player doesn’t want to be here, or hasn’t bought into the project, we don’t want/need them. Look elsewhere.
However, if he does end up joining Spurs, I’d be happy to see him in a Tottenham kit.
