Do y'all have an obvious favorite photo of your dog? Because I sure do, and it will forever be this one of him photobombing Devil's Tower lol.
A photo of my dog photo-bombing Devil's Tower. My dog, a husky/malamute/wolf with black and tan fur is sitting in front of the towering rocky pillar with a large smile and tongue hanging out.

I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al

I and others have made the observation that if you are not a current or former DC resident it's difficult to fathom the emotional toll the physical destruction of our city has been going through. And the ever present thought that even worse is to come.

He said this at the time, as did many, and it remains a bald-faced lie. Not a matter of opinion. It's just completely untrue as an objective factual matter. Civil marriage laws don't work like that and never have. Just like the legality of divorce and remarriage doesn't affect the Catholic Church.

Another misunderstanding is that sexual violence can be ended through education. There is not a single evidence-based program for perpetrators that has reduced sexual violence. What schools call an educational intervention is making perpetrators sit down to read the sexual-misconduct policy and asking if they have any questions. It’s having them write an essay. None of these things work.
