Even if it isn't an outright cure for HIV, the progression to AIDS was linked to a compromised immune system, so this could possibly prevent the leap from ever happening.

Not necessarily. Sales taxes, payroll taxes, and income taxes are all paid by people who are living somewhere while not being an immigrant with a visa or the like.

Undocumented immigrants already pay more in taxes while not being eligible for most benefits programs.

This isn't about a rational solution, it's racism.

Ah, the Obstructionist Party.

Sure, sure. Plausible cover story...

But you just didn't know about the hidden basement and the meth lab within it.

This is phrased like the planets have some choice. It's weird.

I feel like we just hit Poe's Law in a really weird way.

Cruise is a bankable star, and Spielberg is a bankable director. I figure there's a reason they didn't work together for a long time, and a personal grudge makes more sense to me.

But business is business, and I'm indulging in Hollywood gossip. I just fucking loathe Scientology.

"Spielberg felt the actor's antics had hurt his own movie, 2005's 'War of the Worlds.' Far worse, though, had been an episode when Spielberg told Cruise the name of a doctor who had prescribed medication to a relative and the doctor's office was subsequently picketed by Scientologists."

And this would be the reason. He stabbed Spielberg in the back there. Fuck Hollywood numbers, who would want to be around a 'friend' who just did something like that to you?

They didn't work again together until Tom Cruise was needed for Top Gun 2.

Do we need to make tacky tourist Auschwitz merch just to prove a point?

Does it matter if MAGA would proudly buy them?

Left to right and actually sorted oldest to youngest we have:

Bernie Sanders is eight years old.

Miles Morales is just over four.

Abed Nadir & Troy Barnes are two and a quarter.

Maryjane is just over a year and is a foster fail. I'm the one that insisted on the failure. My dad adopted Mongo from the same litter.

Maryjane was supposed to be a Peter Parker but my wonderful professional vet tech wife was wrong this time.

Somehow everyone gets along in our house. 5 cats, 2 labradors, 1 tortoise, almost zero fights.
