Also, it's to support Alzheimer's research. After writing for decades on the theme of memory, Wolfe's wife and muse, Rosemary, was diagnosed with Alzheimers. He cared for her for years until he was 81 and her condition no longer allowed it. www.humblebundle.com/books/ultima...

i usually don't like the Ravens but that game ending was a) against the Cowboys, who are an eternal target of mockery and b) i hate the Browns this year anyway so was happy to see that ending

in no particular order, my answer to this. I limited myself to shows I've seen every episode of, and there are some heavy-hitters I have really enjoyed I just haven't finished yet (Mad Men, Barry, Archer, Fargo, Friday Night Lights, etc.) some of which would probably be here if I'd seen all of them.

A world where a twist ending is repurposed as a video title. where a thing's climax has been removed, leaving an advertisment for the gap where it used to be. such things are commonplace in. the twilight zone

Both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry had such a genuine enthusiasm for performing that it was impossible not to love them for it, there were things more highly and lowly regarded in their bodies of work but both of them threw themselves into everything because it was pure joy for them and that rules

Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away. This is a true loss for millions of people. There has never been anyone like her, and never will. In her honor, I am lowering the American flag throughout the United States for a one week period beginning tonight at 6:00PM. Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you. President DONALD J. TRUMP

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.
