#Sinners has now grossed $365.7 million worldwide! 💰

This final milestone also makes it the fifth highest-grossing horror movie of all time at the worldwide box office, and is only outranked by the 2017 adaptation of It, Steven Spielberg's Jaws, It: Chapter Two, and The Exorcist.

He needed air. The price was $539.

When OptumRx dropped coverage of his $66 inhaler, Cole couldn’t afford the new price.
5 days later, he died from a severe asthma attack—with no inhaler.
He paid with his life.

Remember when Trump, the President, posted a bat shit QAnon conspiracy about Biden being a clone?

That was Saturday.

America has already moved on.

"its big innovation is that the president...is gay." that is your takeaway of the Residence big innovation. not the fact that the lead is dark skinned, happily singe, childfree by choice, Black woman. I've never seen a character like Cordeila Cupp on American TV. this is why diversity matters

Not shocking…

Here’s Bernie sanders pandering to the anti-DEI crowd. And it sounds an awful lot like he’s blaming BIPOC and the LGBTQ community for his losses.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Those who voted for this are clear. They're saying all over the Internet exactly whom they wanted to suffer. They're only upset now because they're suffering too.

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

To disrupt this system, Carter, in his first year, signed an executive order establishing selection commissions staffed with lawyers and non-lawyers from diverse backgrounds and professional experiences to recommend nominees for circuit court vacancies.

Not surprisingly, this insular selection process frequently yielded nominees with career paths and social and professional networks that were closed to women and minorities.

Carter understood that a major obstacle in diversifying the judiciary was the judicial selection process itself. Unlike the Supreme Court, where presidents nominate justices, in the lower federal courts, senators helped to select candidates for judicial vacancies in their home states.

In his first year, Carter addressed both the shortage of judges and the judiciary’s lack of diversity. He signed into law a bipartisan bill adding 152 judgeships—expanding the number of federal judges by a third, the largest expansion of the federal judiciary in the nation’s history.
