Last night he jumped up higher than I expected, stole a slice of cheese that nearly choked him cause it was too big as I chased him around the house to get it out of his airway. Slightly terrifying but now retroactively hilarious and I'm never underestimating how high he can jump Image
me, an idiot, puts food on tray and assumes a dachshund cant jump that high and goes to the other room for a minute

kal-el, ingenious thief, understands four-inch legs are no impediment to actually jumping high enough to steal food from said tray.
he was like, this cheese is actually too big for me and its making me choke, but i want to eat it and also you're chasing me so i am going to try and run away and chew it at the same time!

it was one of the most insane things he's done.

this simply isn't what happened. legislation passed the house.
if pelosi floated an idea and it didn't go anywhere, that would maybe be a point. but the heroes act passed the house. it technically even had bipartisan support (one gop vote) clerk.house.gov/Votes/2020109
for a purportedly nonpartisan reporter to now say "doesn't count" is pretty sad and weak and of course... typical.

she's a special forces veteran back in town to see her family that owns the mill, and he's the cynical developer from the big city. but now terrorists have taken him hostage and only she can save him with her daddy's catchet of hi-tech weapons.
its hot cocoa, christmas sweaters, sparkling xmas trees and a ton of explosions.

on a podcast i enjoy one of the co-hosts uses "like" every third word. i know its sort of bias from me along with a generational affect but it drives me insane.
on another show i like the two hosts say everything is "amazing" and im always thinking "it can't all be amazing because then nothing is amazing."
i think a cat that saves a baby from a burning building is "amazing" i dont think someone crossing the street is "amazing."

I liked #WonderWoman , as often with sequels they packed in too much but it was still extremely entertaining 8/10 and lol the post-credit
As a comic fan, bless them for coming up with a practical inclusion of key Wonder Woman lore
This was me during every shot of DC, As someone born in the region and who lived there for a long time:

They are now trying to cover their rears. People like Isgur chose to go work for Trump and executed his policies. Don't let them get away with this nonsense.
After Hitler shot himself, suddenly the Germans acted like they all wanted him out of power. We saw you at the rallies, giving a sharp salute, wearing your swastika armband. You loved every minute of it.
You should also remember Isgur is the person CNN hired to be their politics editor despite her career in GOP activism. Liberal media, indeed.
