Nicole Kidman says that you can keep your childhood blankie until you're 85, "there's no medal for giving it up"
Nicole Kidman: "I always say to kids... your comfort is your comfort."
Nicole Kidman: "If you need to keep your blankie till you're 85, you keep your blankie. There's no medal for giving that up."
Nicole Kidman: "Who says you have to be this sort of perfect grownup? You're allowed to have these things."
“And what I think is important to know is a lot of the increase in rape also comes from an expanded definition of what counts as rape, as well as survivors coming forward for acts that took place years prior,” Mamdani said. “And we are thankful for them coming forward, the courage and the bravery it takes, but just to provide New Yorkers with that context.”
In 2024 New York instituted a new law that, per the NYPost, "classifies rape as nonconsensual or forcibly compelled sexual intercourse, oral sexual conduct or anal sexual conduct after previously defining rape as only nonconsensual or forcibly compelled vaginal penetration by a penis."
So... New York (rightly!) expanded the definition of what counts as rape. More survivors (thankfully!) came forward. As a result, official rates of rape increased. So Mamdani was... right and everyone is just yelling about this in bad faith?
New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
@sirenbanshees@LisKis93 I keep breakfast and meal prep lunches to leave in the freezer of my job so I don’t have to worry about bringing them everyday. Otherwise I would consistently forget to bring food to work with me!
@_celia_bedelia_ But why? Either you see an open wound/big red spot on their face or you see a black star. For me, I’d rather someone see a star than the actual zit.
Rude of @AldiUSA to say I had a 2 minute wait time just for it to change to 29 minutes :( I felt like I had a shot at getting one with only 2 minutes but definitely don’t for 29 😔😔
