Oh shit, I am just now putting together that movie is presumably “based on” Oliver Twist.

Holy cow that is an absurdly cute dog.

I agree except that I always used to get annoyed by that one commercial where she would say “When people ask what I’m wearing I say—Aveeno!” Cause I felt like that would actually be a really obnoxious answer since that obviously isn’t what they are asking.

Yes, I need more threads to be about what is happening in that picture. to be clear, I actually don’t think her outfit looks bad. But it doesn’t look real. It looks like the plaid part has been photoshopped onto her waist for some reason.

I guess I’ll believe you that that’s a picture of Swift at the top. It kind of looks like Lorde in a blonde wig to me.

I mean I think it’s mostly things like battlefields that have been turned into historical sites, like Gettysburg. Not like... throwing up civil war plaques at your local playground.

They kept promoting “The Worst Witch” to me and I finally caved and it was pretty adorable. Would recommend!

Calling this a riot is ridiculous!

I believe she was not just a part of it, but the one who organized it. She is almost certainly went into this expecting to get arrested. Brave and incredible woman!

In the context of this same legislature also being called out by the courts as using…

There are literally bigger riots every year, after every UNC/Duke basketball game.

The national parks service website says there are over 70 parks with information about the civil war. There are PLENTY of educational opportunities out there already. We don’t need these statues.

I actually like most of these looks. Only a couple I would ever consider wearing, but for this particular award show I thought most of them worked.

1989*

Even though he was elected supposedly because he “says what he means.”

When we got our cats we were told they were male. We took them in to get neutered and the vet said hold on a sec and went to get a second opinion before saying “yeah, these cats are female.”

Family rates are cheaper for all kinds of insurance.

Ah, the German background makes a lot more sense! Thinking of it from an English-speaking point of view it seemed odd to just drop that one last syllable.

At every protest and rally I have attended, we were told we weren’t even allowed to use sticks for our signs.
