U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz is the target of a bar association complaint over his role in undermining the 2020 election results. A group of lawyers says Cruz played an outsized role in the efforts to void the 2020 election results and accuses him of repeatedly making false claims about voter fraud.

The late Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier were friends for more than 70 years. They met at The American Negro Theatre when both were 20 — Poitier was a janitor and Belafonte was a stagehand. Belafonte went on to be the first Black Emmy Award winner, while Poitier became the first Black man to win a Best Actor Oscar. Here's a look back at this deep and enduring friendship.

I'll vote for him again, even if I don't want to, becuase the alternative will by the erasure of the trans population at the federal level....
AAAA! NEW MAGICAL DROP.
...same as all the old Magical Drop games, but now in HD. ❤️
Guildhall Studios' Sea of Legends is available again! And I worked on it! Go read some of Jenn's first paid writing content, and, you know, get a good game while you're at it!
I was fired from the Texas Department of Transportation in 2002 over shit like this. You'd think in twenty years there'd be some headway. But no. Just more back sliding.
I guess I have to repeat this so I don't get @ with "Don't be naive, Canada has problems too, you know:" I'm well aware, but still glad we got permanent residence in BC. No place is perfect, but I feel safer there. So far, no insurrection, no daily mass shootings, and, well, the chart below.
I prefer it to the accelerating fascism here, at least for now. And with that👇

Someone. Please. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Redub this with Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship.
I don't remember the original Tiny Toons Adventures being so Acme-Loo centered. At least not after the first season or two. Still, looking forward to this. :)
WATER GO DOWN THE HOOOOOOLE
This is what it's like in my head 24/7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n_Ae9DGC0U
Ingredients for those who'd like to try it. It's a very different flavor and might be an acquired taste, but I love it, personally:
12 cups Watermelon cubed
24-30 Mint leaves
6 tablespoons Lemon juice
1.5 tablespoon Sugar/Sucralose (optional, if the watermelon isn't sweet enough)
1.5 teaspoon Roasted cumin powder
3 teaspoon Himalayan salt
0.38 teaspoon Black pepper
Run through a blender until smooth.
