This is extremely shocking to hear as this is the neighborhood pool I grew up going to. I know it's management over the years but I'd have a lot of questions because in my 30+ years in the area they never recorded a drowning during operation hours.
@RealityBent Shout out to @IDADarkSky standards and the movement to lower light pollution. But anyone whose worked in land development/design will tell you that "Better" is actually the best option.
I remember when Death Note ended, and everyone complained Light freaked out because he needed a more dignified end...
...not understanding that their cool exterior only existed because they had control.
WE VOTED ON IT AS THE PEOPLE OF THIS COMMONWEALTH!!!
I'm mad as hell because out of the 11 currently redistricting, we are 1 of 3 where citizens voted on it instead of politicians just doing whatever.
If the will of the people will be disregarded, then Sic Semper Tyrannis.
The Virginia Supreme Court struck down a voter-approved congressional redistricting plan, dealing a major blow to Democratic plans for the midterms https://t.co/lSSri35qj3
He has been knocking ppl between the cabinet and the wall for the entirety of his adulthood, along with harassment and alleged r*pe and it’s on record and people have given testimonial pls go to hell TODAY. PLEASE.
Four white men have more wealth than half the planet… & you still think a brown immigrant is why you’re struggling? 😭😭 Explain that to me like I’m five.

HISTORY OF HIV/AIDS
Long before HIV was known to medicine, before microscopes could identify it or blood tests could detect it, the virus existed quietly in the forests of Central Africa.
In the late 1800s or early 1900s, a hunter moved through dense rainforest, doing what humans in that region had done for generations; hunting primates for food.
One animal, a chimpanzee, carried a virus called Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). In the chimp, the virus caused little harm. In humans, it had never been tested by nature.
As the hunter butchered the animal,a small cut on his hand that seemed unremarkable, and easily ignored, became the gateway.
In that brief moment, infected blood crossed the species barrier. The virus entered a human body for the first time.
Inside its new host, the virus struggled. Human immune cells were unfamiliar territory. Most viruses would have failed here and disappeared forever. But this one changed.
Through random mutation and survival, it adapted by learning how to attach to CD4 T-cells, learning how to replicate, learning how to persist.
The man survived. He did not know he carried a new virus. He returned to his community, lived his life, and unknowingly passed the virus to others through blood, sexual contact, or childbirth.
Slowly, silently, the virus spread.
Years passed. Small villages grew into towns. Trade routes expanded along the Congo River. Medical injections were given with reused needles.
What began as a single spillover event became a human infection chain.
Decades later, this adapted virus had a new identity: Human Immunodeficiency Virus—HIV.
By the time doctors recognized it in the 1980s, the virus had already been circulating in humans for generations. It had not appeared suddenly. It had arrived quietly, evolved patiently, and spread invisibly.
This is how pandemics often begin not with intention or conspiracy, but with biology, chance, and time.
This was a consistent trend when Serena and Venus Williams played. To see Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, and Taylor Townsend still have to deal with white players who complain and cannot lose respectfully has got to be exhausting.
Barstool culture is summarized completely in these replies. Stavros was their hero when they thought he was a racist from Dundalk making funny videos but as soon as he shows he has a spine and morals they legitimately dehumanize him. Irreparable damage this company has caused.
This shit is completely inexcusable and unbecoming of a Morehouse Man. She's on the ground and he locks her into to a rear naked choke then lifts her into a standing position. Gray sweatshirt keeping him from tucking his hand behind her neck is the thin line that saved her life.
Let’s shut this down right now: No one is being charged for eating bacon. They’re being charged because they hunted down students in prayer, surrounded them, threatened them, and livestreamed the whole assault.
If your defense is “but bacon”… you don’t have a defense. (thread) #USFMuslimStudents #USF11 #Tampa @USouthFlorida
