It's insidious

That's just what languages are. English is a mix of whole bunch of others too. Spanish, French, German, Latin, etc. It makes sense that languages from the same region will have crossover

Got a Scroll of Prestidigitation as a joke item, but I saved it, and eventually found a use for it, allowing my character to avoid the use of a public bathhouse, which was great for him due to personal issues.

The scroll became a running joke, everyone would always laugh about, "Oh, if we only had a Scroll of Prestidigitation!" whenever we fall into a sewer or something. So when he got his next cantrip, at level up, there was really only one choice

Flute life kids count as far as Picard is concerned. They're at least as real as children lost in time vortexes, in order to save their younger selves

La'an and Kirk have both had a tragic time travel love they can't talk about, and hers was him. If they're really planning a romance arc based on that, it's a big risk. People will be pissed if they don't properly honor the City at the Edge of Forever

It's not deportation for the non-citizens either, it's rendition, and it's all very illegal

I actually liked it. It's kind of like beating up Worf. They used a former enemy whose power we are aware of, and showed how trivial they are before Art Vandaley

I need a happy ending for the Silver Blood 😭

So, just in case it wasn't crystal clear enough what this is, one of the prisoners in the article asked if he could be sent back to Venezuela, and they refused.

My brother doesn't like work from home either, and I just don't get it. Working from home has been great for my mental health.

I'm not stressed all the time; I don't have to worry about things unrelated to my job, like traffic, or what I'll do for lunch. I don't have to sit in the cheapest desk chair money can buy, and use a tiny Dell monitor, instead I relax at home, at my desk I already have anyway.

But I've never really seen work as a place to socialize to begin with. It's the one place where I can't control who is around me, and as a result, there are often people I dislike. I much prefer they remain icons, instead of whole people I have to make small talk with. Then, if there are coworkers I like, I can reach out to them individually

Not like those poors, who can't be trusted not to blow all of their limited funds on junk food. (<-- There it is. There's the shitting on the poor part.)

This dramatically undervalues the predatory practices of snack food companies, and redirects the blame. This is a problem solved by regulation, but the people that most need to be protected by those regulations are the poor, who are targeted for exploitation by the companies producing cheap, processed "foods."

RFK is a dangerous idiot, and his handful of seemingly okay policy ideas only exist to distract from the harm that the administration, he is part of, is doing. This is one of those policies. It will never be anything more than a headline in any meaningful way.
