When a man dies, they don’t identify him through his relation to a woman

As ever, the Daily Mail’s position on migration depends heavily on the direction of travel.

Gorsuch's majority opinion is kind of an ode to legal weed—he explains how marijuana is now legal in much of the country, and the federal government has not only tolerated but "helped fuel" the growth of the industry. So it's silly for the government to now claim that weed is so dangerous.

I mean if they won't even tear down the ballroom they certainly don't have the spine to pack the courts or the other million things we'll need to do.

Bingo

i like that Paul Simon gets big cocky with his theory that there's 50 ways to leave your lover, and then when pressed for answers he's only got like six and one of them is just "get on the bus"

We wonder if @georgianlords.bsky.social would agree. Surely not?!
