The #NobelFoundation reversed course on Saturday & said it would not invite the ambassadors of Russia & Belarus to this year’s award ceremony in Stockholm, after a decision to invite them back to the annual event drew objections in #Sweden & #Ukraine.

Just imagine how horrific things might be in Alabama if it were not a resolutely pro-life state dominated by resolutely pro-life Christians!

@AlliFlowers @realTuckFrumper I know!!! It’s sad that child will have to grow up in that environment knowing his mom hated him enough to do that. When you force babies to have babies, though, it’s just going to get worse. Teen girls often think having a baby is so fun and easy, you get free stuff from people, lots of attention, and they act like the baby is an ornament on their arm, but they.have.no.idea.what.they.are.in.for.

Ground News - Judge rules white man will stand trial for shooting Ralph Yarl, Black teen who went to wrong house
So guess what I did. I am desperately trying to find healthcare through the stupid marketplace thing in the US. i went onto the site i thought i usually go on to find healthcare and started to surf--only this site asked me for my phone and email. i thought--that's weird, but i remembered doing that before so i gave them my info and went back to surfing. then I started getting MASSIVE spammed on my phone-calls every five minutes. I'm like--what the fuck. I was worried it may be somebody in the family and picked up (something i NEVER do with odd numbers) and it's people pushing healthcare! i'm like--wtf, and hung up on them. but since they got a live person, i've been getting phone calls every five-ten minutes for the past two days now. I've blocked about 50 numbers.
So i go back to the healthcare website, scared that I messed up and gave them all my information from the beginning, not just this last time, and it turns out that it's a website that has the exact same address as the official govt website, just it's a dot net instead of dot gov.
but guess who didn't SEE that cuz she has to have her phone text enlarged 5000x in order to read anything at all? so i saw the beginning of the URL, but not the ending cuz it's such big text, everything doesn't fit all on one screen.
so, just something to pay attention to, you other Gen Xers that are suddenly finding yourself needing readers and text enlargement etc. make sure you have the correct URL!
