My mom bought a new house in 2021 and she decorated it like it's still the 90s, including incandescent light bulbs 😂

Buttigieg: I don’t understand how such a majority of House Republicans voted no after I was in a room with a lot of them… having perfectly normal conversations with many of them only for them to go around the corner and say that my marriage doesn’t deserve to continue

Twitter, I need your help! This pendant was found in the sand on Rehoboth Beach DE the morning of July 17. This is someone's sister, mother, warrior, ancestor, or friend. I can tell by the framing, this beautiful Black woman was loved. Help me find the caretaker of this gem.

There is no reasonable definition of freedom that includes the fact that, “over the last two decades, more school-aged children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active-duty military combined." You are not free. THREAD

🎇🏹🐔 I'm excited to announce... probably the most ridiculous nonsense I've ever open sourced: A Fortnite VS Code Theme! It has special effects! It has chickens! If you want to remember not to take things too seriously, this is the theme for you! https://t.co/5MVFk59ea2

Cops stood outside the school while the killer rampaged inside. Onlookers yelled at them to go in. They didn’t. One parent urged bystanders: “Let’s just rush in because the cops aren’t doing anything like they are supposed to.” @AP story: https://t.co/l2CqPCzmAf
