From a selfish standpoint this is always something that has really bothered me as a military spouse whose family is often stationed in red districts that tend to have less environmental standards, lackluster health care networks, and fewer resources.

Obviously, Chuck Grassley, still too bereaved by the loss of his beloved vacuum last month and isn't thinking clearly enough to follow professional norms!

The official state smell of alabama should be "trash fire." It's such a bummer that on a nice day you can't have the windows open.

I feel like if "we" really controlled the strait we wouldn't have to say it all the time. It's like when someone says "no problem here" you definitely know there's a problem.

I still keep my grandma's old state farm atlas that's probably at least 25 years old and I'll never get rid of it. I also have an hardback atlas that is a part of the early 90s encyclopedia set that my mom bought me when I was 10.

If it makes anyone feel better, when I was at APSU, Hagerty did a zoom meet and greet type thing with my department, I think, and I jabbed him a bit on a military related issue so hard my professor PMed me during the zoom to tell me to be nice.

Mine is my great aunt's 1920s cedar chest. I keep my sheets and blankets in it, I put a fan on it at night when it's hot out, fold laundry on it, and use it as a seat.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.
