One of my profs in undergrad would start each semester by talking about the fact that she’d had an abortion

Those jumpers definitely put the ‘ming’ in Wyoming.

Isn’t there a lawsuit about Trump blocking people on Twitter vs. Federal Records legislation or something like that? How does him pretending to be somebody else square with that?

I actually thought Elon was on about Bezos and Murdoch... seeing as how he’s also a bajillionaire I don’t know why he’d be scared of naming them.
