10 Fandoms, 10 Characters, 10 Tags

Thanks @ellorypurebloodculture!

Sorry it took so long.

Also no particular order since I can't pick a favorite out of them either.

Duo Maxwell

I can't remember when I started loving him but I do. He's outgoing and just so truthful and honest and caring. There are more reasons but I adore him.

Tim Drake

I love Tim. He's my favorite Robin, the one I grew up reading (even if I never read how he became Robin in the first place) and the one I know best. He's who I wanted to be like when I was younger (they all were actually).

Bucky Barnes

Baby boy has been through a lot but he's always bounced back. He's a great in proving that you can go through hell and make it to the other side.

Fun fact, he used to look like this:

(from Wikipedia and Google/Pinterest)

He's worse than Steve in the fact that until Marvel redid him he actually went to war as an actual kid. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucky_Barnes)

He's a rebel.

Clint Barton

He's a little shit (to me), a circus brat, gave us Lucky and is hot in his own way. He lives off pizza, which is how he met Lucky (if I'm recalling correctly), owns his apartment building (or did), and helps his community.

Katsuki Bakugo (or is it Bakugou?)

He's all knowing, to him, swears up a storm, you can tell he cares for Izuku even if he doesn't act like it, same with the rest of the class, is smart as heck especially because of his quirk, and is learning to be a better person, slowly.

Draco Malfoy

Arrogant, mama’s boy (even if he says his dad all the time), handsome, obsessed with Harry, I love his smile, and just him in general

Alec Lightwood

Sweet, harsh, baby boy. His smile, his shyness, his overall love for his family, and he just wants to do the correct thing. I love Jace but I picked Alec for this.

Sam Winchester

He’s Dean’s world, John loves him, he’s the baby of the two brothers and uses that to his advantage. Smart, pretty, deadly, nice, and sweet. He’s everything a person would want.

Kurt Hummel

He knows exactly what he was and will work for it. He’s so confident and he’s handsome also. He’s a great person and friend and while he has his ups and downs, as everyone does, he’s not afraid to try things.

JD Dunne

He’s the youngest of the seven, the official sheriff (it’s all of them, he just took the actual job and Chris is in charge), he’s eager to do what’s correct, Buck literally took him under his wing from the get go (which got Chris to start liking him), he adores his friends and family, and he’s handsome as heck.

One extra because people might consider Bucky and Clint part of the same fandom.

Rodney McKay

He’s an asshole and knows it. Is one of the smartest people on Atlantis, there are a lot of them, scared to death of crap but still does it. He's also a bastard but that is him. He cares in his own way and loves his family and friends. He won't give up and just keeps going. He's my favorite person in the whole universe. I love him.

@pocket-size-cthulhu

I'm making a separate post bc I kind of sent myself down a rabbit hole. I wanna clarify that I am a Big Hozier Fan and that most country music is a different lyrical ballpark entirely bc of the nature of the genre. (If I had to describe it I'd say it's more literal and storytelling than the whole, like, in-the-woods poetry thing hozier's got going on.)

Anyway I tried to find some that have the same kind of poetry to them or at least aren't about dirt roads and, like, alcoholism. (this is very hard to do there are so many songs about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. I think maybe that's a bad thing but what do I know about songwriting)

Zach Bryan - Something in the Orange

Ryan Bingham - Wolves

Deana Carter - Strawberry Wine

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey

Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon

Uncle Lucius - Keep The Wolves Away

Juice Newton - Angel of the Morning

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

The Band Perry - All Your Life

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me

I also have a few that I think just have generally clever lyrics that you probably won't enjoy very much if you don't like country music:

Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell

Sugarland - It Happens

Jessica Andrews - Who I Am

Billy Currington - People are crazy

Blake Shelton - Honeybee

Tim McGraw - Just to See You Smile

[mariacallous]

you are very wise and well read so I guess you are a good person to ask

I'm Jewish and I've always been VERY interested in early Christianity namely how it transitioned from a Jewish cult, to a universalist movement and one that was... uh anti-Jewish to say the least. But finding books on that subject is.. uh.. tricky? does anything come to mind?

The Early Christian World - edited By Philip Esler

The Rise of Christianity: How the Obscure, Marginal Jesus Movement Became the Dominant Religious Force in the Western World in a Few Centuries and The Triumph of Christianity: How the Jesus Movement Became the World's Largest Religion, both by Rodney Stark

The Parting of the Ways: Between Christianity and Judaism and Their Significance for the Character of Christianity and Unity and Diversity in the New Testament: An Inquiry into the Character of Earliest Christianity, both by James Dunn

When Christians Were Jews: The First Generation by Paula Fredrikson

And it's not a book but PBS Frontline did a series on The First Christians

Guest cast: Stephen Meadows as Calvin Collier Carolyn Dunn as Maya Zedler Guy Bannerman as Brother Antonio Terrence Slater as Warden Michelyn Emelle as Black Woman Jill Hennessy as Spanish Hooker (as Jillian Hennessy)

Written by Peter Lauterman and Angelo Stea

Directed by Rodney Charters

We are in Buenos Aires this week, in a restaurant, we met a rakish man who gets the attention of a proustite, then shows her a big snow globe. They speak Spanish, and soon we are with them in a room. They kiss but the man quickly strangles the woman, killing her.

Next is a prison, and the man is taken to be put to death. He gets last rites, then is given an intravenous injection. He talks to Satan, saying they had a deal. Satan tells Calvin he is needed elsewhere, and Calvin dies.

Then we cut to a missionary priest, who is praying, but then suddenly attacks a woman before being restrained by local men. They tie him up, then another man arrives and lights the bed on fire. As he burns, we hear Satan again, saying he needs Brother Antonio elsewhere.

Flash to Miami and a news report about a Nurse named Maya Zedler, convicted of mercy killings. She is out on bail and listening to the report about her being accused of killing 17 old people over six months. She gets up, goes to the bathroom and slits her wrists. As she lays dying, Satan calls her to him and we see flames.

Maya awakens in a flaming cave, Calvin and Antonio are also there. Satan speaks to them, telling them he offers another chance at life if they help him deal with three others who resist him, who also have connections to each of them.

Cut to Curious Goods at Winter, with snow falling. Jack tells Micki she has a package from Argentina. She is clueless as to who it can be from, and opens the crate to reveal the snow globe Calvin had. Inside the globe is a replica of the Magic Castle, a tourist trap near her hometown. She says she went there in the 7th grade and they bought globes like it then. Just as she wonders who could have sent it, Calvin arrives and says it was him. Micki is shocked to see him and they embrace. Seems he was a friend of Lloyd and her from school. She introduces Calvin to Jack and Ryan.

Cal says he is going up to a lodge and invites Micki. She is reluctant, since they haven't seen each other in years. Ryan says to go, they could use a work break. Micki is hesitant. Jack also thinks it would be a fun weekend for her.

Next we know, Cal and Micki are driving off to the lodge. Micki asks why he looked her up, Cal says Lloyd wanted him to check on her. Micki is a bit concerned, but says he has to buy her dinner, at least. They suddenly pass through an intense snowstorm. Micki is worried, but Cal drives on. The snow passes, and they arrive at the lodge, which is an exact reproduction of the Magic Castle. Micki is stunned, Cal says he always wanted to bring her here.

Jack is checking out the snow globe after the work day when someone enters the store. Ryan says they are closed, but Jack recognizes his old friend Antonio. Ryan glances at the snow globe as Jack greets his friend.

Soon, Jack is packed and leaving for a retreat at a monastery with Antonio. Ryan pulls Jack aside, saying it is odd that Antonio arrived out of the blue like Calvin, but Jack scoffs, citing Antonio's ties to religion, and leaves.

Jack and Antonio are walking through snow covered woods and suddenly have to pass through an intense snow squall. They head to the same place Cal took Micki, and Jack says he recognizes it, but Antonio says it is a copy of his Order's home in Italy and takes Jack towards it.

At the store, Ryan is looking for the snow globe in the manifest, but finds no reference. Soon, the door opens and it is the nurse, Maya. She says she just arrived in town and looked him up. Ryan says she walked out on him five years ago and just expects to walk back in now. Maya tells him she became a nurse, but Ryan is too suspicious. She wants to be friends, but he says another time. She presses, saying she might be able to help him. He moves the snow globe and says he has to make some calls.

At the Magic Castle building, Cal arrives at Micki's room for a drink before dinner. He hints at her boyfriend trying to impress her, but she says he isn't her boyfriend. They toast to Fate.

Jack and Antonio, in monastic robes, go off to chant and meditate. Micki and Cal walk the halls to go to dinner. They all pass one another, but go through each other, not seeing the other is at the same place.

Ryan gets off the phone and finds out the lodge Cal took Micki to doesn't exist. Maya tries to come up with excuses, calling him suspicious. Ryan makes another call.

At the monastery, Antonio can see and hear Cal and Micki, but only Cal can see him.

Jack, in bed, hears voices, and can make out Micki talking to Calvin. He listens, and goes into the hall. He follows the voices, but finds no one.

Ryan is talking to Lloyd, and finds out Cal was arrested for two murders and was sentenced to death in Argentina two weeks ago. Maya says it just can't be true, still trying to distract Ryan.

Cal takes Micki back to her room, he compliments her, and asks for one more nightcap. Micki lets him into her room. Jack, in the hall, hears the door close. Outside the room, he can still hear Micki talking to Cal. Then he finds a small television which is playing Micki and Cal as if it were a show. Cal looks at the screen and Jack, who backs off. He hurries through the halls and bumps into Antonio, but when he brings him back to the room Micki is in, she can't see them and passes through Jack.

Antonio says to forget Micki, that she is falling for Cal. Antonio says his Master is doing this, and blames Jack for igniting the passion to fight against Satan in Micki and Ryan. He says his Master underestimated Jack and the cousins, but now Satan is going to turn Micki into the mother of his child. Jack says he won't let it happen, and Antonio's face transforms into its true, severely burned form. He tells Jack he can save Micki by giving up his soul, and burns Jack when he touches him. Jack says Micki has to submit willingly and never would, but Antonio says submitting to Cal will be just the same. Only Jack can save her. He leaves Jack to watch.

At the store, Maya is still telling Ryan he is acting crazy. Ryan finds an article with proof of Cal's crimes, then goes to find Jack at the monastery. Maya says she is there to make amends, trying to get Ryan to stay, kissing him gently. But Ryan says his friends are in trouble and leaves. Maya touches the globe and vanishes, transported to the Magic Castle replica. Satan is scolding her, she says she forgot how good Ryan is and wants to know why he wants to hurt him. Satan tells her about his plans for Micki and when she scoffs, he makes her wrists appear slit again. He says she will be in pain forever unless she obeys. She agrees, he lets her free and demands she keep Ryan at bay until Micki is with child. Maya sobs.

Jack goes outside of the building, but is caught by Antonio, who says there is no escape. Either Jack's soul or Micki's body.

Micki and Cal are walking outside, admiring the beauty. Cal gives her his coat as she begins to slightly cave to his wooing. Satan yells for only Cal to hear to "take her."

Jack walks to what appears to be an invisible barrier outside the building. He taps on the glass and sees Maya, then Ryan, in huge form and inside the store. He calls out to an oblivious Ryan.

Ryan says Antonio died two years ago, and the monastery doesn't exist. Maya scoffs, but Ryan's suspicions only grow. He relates them touching the globe and each time, someone from their past arrived. Jack, in the globe, continues to call out but when Ryan looks inside, he doesn't see him. Maya again tries to discourage Ryan. But he pulls out an article about her crimes and suicide. Ryan presses her, and she admits Satan's plan was to drive Ryan to despair once all was done. He asks if Micki and Jack are alive, and Maya says yes, but in the snow globe. Jack, frustrated, heads back to the building.

Later, Maya has taken Ryan to the way into the snow globe. The storm appears and she tells him to press on. Suddenly, she falls as her wrists bleed. Satan calls her a fool, she says they don't deserve this. She tells Ryan to go as she screams, collapses and vanishes. Ryan rushes off to find his friends.

Inside the building, he calls for Micki, walking right though Cal and Antonio without seeing them. Cal says they will offer him the same choice as Jack, and soon, Micki will belong to their master. Jack hears Ryan calling out to Micki.

Cal pours another drink for her, saying he has always wanted her. Micki finally gives in, kissing him. Ryan walks in and sees this, Cal laughs at him, but Micki sees none of this. Ryan tries to touch her but his hands go through her. Jack arrives and he and Ryan can finally see, hear and touch each other. Jack takes Ryan away.

Ryan tells Jack what he learned, and Jack tells him about Satan's plan for Micki, and Ryan realizes Micki is falling for Cal. Antonio appears and tells Ryan to give his soul to save Micki. Jack takes Ryan away, asking where the snow globe is. Ryan tells him it is still at the store. Jack has a plan and they rush off as Antonio continues to taunt them to give up their souls.

Micki and Cal are kissing, then Cal carries Micki to the bed.

Jack takes Ryan to the car, saying they need to find the edge of the globe.

Micki tells Cal not to stop, Cal asks if he wasn't the man she thought he was, would it make a difference. In her inebriated and romanticized state, she says never. Soon, Cal moves, the room transforms and Micki hears laughter. She is in the bed of Satan as Calvin laughs, and Antonio joins in. She tries to escape, but the door shuts. Cal calls to Lucifer. Micki goes to the window and sees nothing but flames. Cal hits her, and puts her back on the bed.

Ryan and Jack drive the car toward the snow and the edge of the globe.

Satan talks to Micki and she watches as he approaches the bed.

Jack and Ryan speed the car toward the glass barrier and crash into it. The globe in the store topples over and falls.

Chaos inside the building erupts, as Satan says they have failed him. Micki scrambles off the bed as Jack calls to her. She rushes out of the building and into the snow outside, running as Antonio chases her before he bursts into flames. The globe shatters on the floor.

Ryan awakens in the store, as does Jack, both covered in snow. Jack wakes Micki, and says they are safe.

Later, after showering, the group sits in Micki's room. Jack says Maya saved them by not giving in to Satan at the last minute. Ryan asks is Micki saw Satan, she says she can only remember his cold eyes, that they were empty. Jack says maybe that is what evil is, the absence of anything good. Ryan wonders if he will try again and Jack says all they have done is survive round one.

My thoughts:

Quite a different episode from the norm here!

First off, not a cursed item from Lewis' collection, rather one apparently owned by Calvin when he was in Buenos Aires and then transformed into part of Satan's scheme to either get their souls or impregnate Micki with his child. Why was Cal wandering about carrying a giant snow globe, then? Was he also weird as well as being psychotic?

And if Lloyd knew about Cal's crimes and death, he didn't think to mention this to Micki?

Sad that even before coming together at Curious Goods, Micki, Ryan and Jack all had someone from their pasts that became either a murderer or rapist. Bad luck has apparently always followed these three.

I do like that Ryan, instead of Jack, was the one who grew suspicious about the events playing out and not just giving in to it all. Ryan has learned from Jack, gotten wiser, and maybe a bit more suspicious and wary, but all for good reason.

Not sure how I liked a mercy-killing nurse being the one who helped them, but I guess she had a warped sense of empathy that was maybe better controlled when she was with Ryan and less when they were apart.

Micki also went a wee bit too quickly to an overnight trip with Cal. She seems the wary one, until Ryan and Jack seem to be eager for her to go off with him. Out of character for them to want that for her, would have made more sense to have them under sway from the globe or something. Just odd for them to meet Cal and be all gung ho about her taking off with him.

And not sure any sin equates to any other. Micki giving in to Cal is way different than giving in to Satan! Weird logic for Satan's plan, but I bet he is pissed he tied everything into the globe being an actual part of things and being so breakable! Why didn't he put one of his 'unbreakable curses' on it like all of the items Lewis sold had?

Plot holes aside, it was a fun diversion of an episode and the first of a few episodes coming that lead into darker, heavier stakes for the group, leading to the intense start of season three.

I understand that a lot of different factors influenced the tonal shift of country music post 9/11 toward strong nationalist and misogynistic themes, but as someone who listens to/actually likes a lot of the music from that era, I’m personally blaming Toby Keith. He’s my Ronald Reagan of 2000s country music.

Nadie acusaría jamás a Joe Biden de estar extremadamente en línea.Como candidato, dio a entender claramente que no estaba especialmente interesado en las redes sociales. En una inversión de la forma habitual del mundo político, sus ayudantes dieron a conocer que un equipo de comunicaciones elaboró ​​sus tuits y publicaciones, no el propio Biden. Su campaña se centró en ganar los mercados televisivos locales, no en ganar la mañana con los conocedores de Twitter y los habituales de "Morning Joe" en MSNBC.En una era de microciclos de noticias que van y vienen como soplos de viento, y que se enfrentan a un presidente en ejercicio que tuiteaba a todas horas, sobre cualquier cosa que parecía cruzar por su mente, el enfoque tonto de Biden hacia los medios de comunicación modernos ofrecía una promesa implícita. a los votantes: Seré el remedio a la forma en que Donald Trump vive sin pagar alquiler en sus cabezas.Durante las primarias presidenciales demócratas de 2020, un asesor de Biden le contó a Ryan Lizza, mi excolega en Politico, cómo era la personalidad extremadamente fuera de línea de Biden. en realidad parte integrante de su estrategia ganadora de apelar a lo que los operadores políticos a menudo llaman "las normas".Esos votantes normales no estuvieron pegados a sus teléfonos todo el día; estaban haciendo cosas estadounidenses "normales" como ir al trabajo, comprar comestibles, llamar a sus nietos, ver "Wheel of Fortune" y, en general, continuar con sus vidas sin seguir los últimos memes o charlar sobre las obsesiones del día.“Recibo esta pregunta todo el tiempo: ¿Por qué la prensa lo odia tanto?”. le dijo el ayudante a Lizza. “Y la respuesta es porque son más jóvenes y quieren a alguien más genial”.Antes que nada, dejemos una cosa en claro: La prensa no “odia” a Joe Biden. Pero el punto de este asistente no identificado fue que, al prodigar la atención sobre candidatos más nuevos como Pete Buttigieg o políticos más de moda en la izquierda como Bernie Sanders, los reporteros de élite y los comentaristas de cable estaban perdiendo el atractivo genuino de Biden para los votantes mayores que conforman la base de la Partido Demócrata, y quién terminaría elevándolo a la nominación.Fue una expresión de confianza en la estrategia política de Biden en un momento en que el resultado de las primarias era incierto. Pero también traicionó sentimientos de resentimiento duraderos, al estilo de Rodney Dangerfield, entre sus asesores de que Biden no recibe respeto entre los creadores de tendencias y los expertos de los medios.“Las personas que pasaron por las elecciones primarias y generales con él aprendieron a tener esta visión más amplia de las vicisitudes del ciclo de noticias políticas”, dijo Anita Dunn, asesora principal de la Casa Blanca.Agregó que, a pesar de todas las críticas sobre la edad del presidente (cumplirá 79 años en noviembre) y las décadas que ha pasado en el Senado y como vicepresidente, sus años de experiencia en Washington le han dado "sabiduría" y paciencia. sobre los ritmos de negociación en el Congreso que serían difíciles de replicar.A veces, el resentimiento del equipo de Biden por lo que ve como la subestimación constante de la prensa y la clase de expertos de sus instintos y habilidades políticas ha estallado a la vista del público.La presidencia de BidenCon las elecciones intermedias a la vuelta de la esquina, esta es la posición del presidente Biden.Destaca un incidente de la primaria. En enero de 2020, en una entrevista sentada con el consejo de redacción de este diarioBiden espetó: “¡No estoy muerto y no voy a morir!”.El consejo editorial del New York Times (que está completamente aislado de la operación de noticias, donde trabajo) decidió respaldar tanto a Elizabeth Warren como a Amy Klobuchar en lugar de a Biden, un ejercicio salomónico que enfureció a su equipo.En respuesta, la campaña de Biden lanzó un video de un encuentro efusivo que tuvo con Jacquelyn Brittany, una guardia de seguridad que había acompañado al candidato a la sala de juntas del Times para su entrevista.

Brittany regresó durante la convención demócrata para nominar a Biden, una historia que sus ayudantes le dieron de antemano a The Washington Post.Dentro de la campaña de Biden, su frase: "¡No estoy muerto y no voy a morir!" – se convirtió en una especie de mantra interno, una expresión de la determinación con la que los asistentes sentían que se acercaban a una elección en la que nunca se les concedió el respeto que se les debía.Entonces, para mí, fue especialmente interesante ver cómo los funcionarios de la Casa Blanca recientemente comenzaron a adoptar "Dark Brandon", un palimpsesto de un meme de Internet que ha sido pintado con capas casi impenetrables de ironía en línea.Quédate conmigo aquí mientras trato de explicarlo, brevemente.Las raíces netas de 'Dark Brandon'La serie de memes, según los sitios que rastrean tales cosas, ha pasado de las bromas sarcásticas sobre la supuesta demencia de Biden a, ahora, un abrazo de oso por parte del mismo equipo que todavía sigue la máxima "Twitter no es la vida real".Comenzó en el invierno como una apropiación irónica de "Let's Go Brandon", un eslogan derechista que se desarrolló a partir de la caracterización errónea de un comentarista de televisión de lo que la multitud en una carrera de NASCAR decía sobre Biden (pista: un insulto grosero). ) en todo un ecosistema de calcomanías y camisetas tímidas. Cómo los reporteros del Times cubren la política. Confiamos en que nuestros periodistas sean observadores independientes. Entonces, si bien los miembros del personal del Times pueden votar, no se les permite respaldar o hacer campaña por candidatos o causas políticas. Esto incluye participar en marchas o mítines en apoyo de un movimiento o dar dinero o recaudar dinero para cualquier candidato político o causa electoral. El rediseño del eslogan "Brandon" pronto se combinó con el meme "Dark MAGA", que se había vuelto popular entre los conservadores en línea y transmite aproximadamente el mensaje de que Trump y sus seguidores más leales están planeando un regreso vengativo.Imágenes altamente estilizadas del presidente actual con un brillo de otro mundo o rayos láser rojos que salen de sus ojos, que a menudo incluyen frases de Biden como "No tonterías", comenzaron a aparecer en fábricas de memes como 4Chan, un panel de mensajes de Internet ruidoso o en Twitter. .En ese momento, Biden estaba luchando por aprobar su agenda en el Capitolio. Pero a medida que el presidente comenzó a acumular victorias legislativas y números laborales favorables, los demócratas de Twitter comenzaron a desechar la ironía y abrazaron el meme de todo corazón.La Casa Blanca saltó a bordo a principios de este mes, con varios asistentes tuiteando imágenes de Dark Brandon después de una serie de buenas noticias para Biden:Dentro de la Casa Blanca, los tuits de Dark Brandon que rompían la toalla eran una expresión de un estado de ánimo cambiante después de meses y meses de sentirse asediado por la cobertura de las pésimas cifras de las encuestas de Biden, sus luchas para controlar la inflación y la predilección entre los miembros de Beltway por declarar prematuramente la posición política de Biden. fallecimiento.El propio presidente ha visto algunos de los memes de Dark Brandon y los encontró divertidos, según varias personas cercanas a él.“Los memes de Dark Brandon son una toma ligera del hecho de que Biden en realidad tiene habilidades y poder que la mayoría de los funcionarios electos no tienen, y lo otorga a su manera”, dijo Greg Schultz, quien dirigió la campaña de Biden 2020 hasta las primarias demócratas. y ocasionalmente ha sido crítico con la Casa Blanca.Y también sirvieron para burlarse de la extrema derecha en línea, cuya obsesión con conceptos como "guerra memética" ha dado forma indeleble a la conversación política en este país y más allá.Sobre todo, los memes fueron un sutil recordatorio para la prensa de que, colectivamente, Biden no siempre tiene razón y que, en opinión

de su personal, el presidente está jugando un juego largo que no siempre concuerda con los ritmos frenéticos del ciclo de noticias de Internet.El presidente asintió a esos sentimientos el martes durante la ceremonia de firma de la Ley de Reducción de la Inflación. Mientras Manchin se paraba detrás de él en el Comedor de Estado de la Casa Blanca, cerca del escritorio ceremonial que se usaba para tales ocasiones, el presidente dijo: “Joe, nunca tuve ninguna duda”.Por ahora, gran parte de este cambio de humor sigue siendo lo que la gente de la Generación Z podría llamar "vibras".Los números de las encuestas de Biden han subido, pero no mucho.Los resultados de las elecciones del martes en Alaska y Wyoming sugieren que Donald Trump sigue siendo la fuerza más poderosa en la política republicana y que, al menos a partir de hoy, entraría en una hipotética revancha contra Biden en 2024 con su partido sólidamente detrás de él.Es posible que la inflación haya alcanzado su punto máximo, pero se mantiene en máximos históricos o cerca de ellos, y queda por ver cómo los votantes reales procesarán la narrativa cambiante en Washington en noviembre. Los republicanos aún pueden ganarse a un número significativo de votantes centristas con sus argumentos sobre temas culturales como los derechos de las personas transgénero o la enseñanza de la raza y el género en las escuelas.Los aliados de Biden también son dolorosamente conscientes de lo voluble que puede ser la conversación en torno al presidente.“Te lo prometo”, dijo Schultz. “En seis meses, muchos de los medios y la élite de DC volverán a quejarse de Biden”.que leer—Blake¿Hay algo que creas que nos estamos perdiendo? ¿Algo que quieras ver más?

Creepy & Kooky Cali Vlog goes to Westwood Memorial Park, which is arguably the cemetery with the most famous (and hilarious) graves. This time around Lauren-Blair Donovan and Lady Grimaldi are joined by funny girl actress, Lacy Hornick. We search for:

Jim Backus - Ray Bradbury - Fanny Brice - Truman Capote - Jackie Collins - Tim Conway - Rodney Dangerfield - Jason Davis - Kirk Douglas - Dominique Dunn - Peter Falk - Farrah Fawcett - Eva Gabor - Merv Griffin - Hugh Hefner - Florence Henderson - Don Knotts - Jack Lemon - Dean Martin - Marilyn Monroe - Walter Mathaeu - Roy Orbinson - Heather O'Rouke - Bettie Page - Donna Reed - Carl Wilson - Natalie Wood - Frank Zappa.

Did we find them all? Plus thoughts on an afterlife, the Richard Poncher scandal at Marilyn Monroe’s grave, why people leave coins on graves, and how telling your children about angels can terribly, terribly backfire. And more!

Here are the US representatives who voted against the US pro-LGBT+ Equality Act

The US Equality Act is to outlaw discrimination against LGBTQ people in housing, credit, jury service, public accommodations, and federal funding.

The House of Representatives passed the legislation yesterday, but it is unlikely that the Senate will follow up, given the Republican Party's increasing hostility to queer people. They are currently weaponizing transphobia in an attempt at mobilizing their base.

In the Senate the bill will require at least 10 Republicans to vote with all Democrats to advance past the so-called filibuster.

Metro Weekly has listed the representatives that voted against the law in the House.
