2025 NFL season, playoff races: What mattered in Weeks 1-17

A glorious obsession: Melissa Leong on why food has always mattered so much

Sometimes food says ‘I love you”, sometimes it’s confronting – but for writer and TV host Melisssa Leong, it’s a passion that’s been with her through highs and lows.

A glorious obsession: Melissa Leong on why food has always mattered so much

I wish I mattered 😔

*thing* prompt:

I have been thinking about ___ more . Dont get me wrong ___. Think about it, ___. Ive been thinking about this for awhile and like ___. Ever thought about it this way?

Ppl never talk about gintama, soul eater, houshin engi (CLASSIC, my god), and zatch bell whenever they bring up shounen like it sucks so bad

🥰 She’s the kiss that mattered 🥰

YES!!! It’s so important!!! her whole transformation is so good also because it’s not unreasonable or unrealistic? so often it’s like their entire face changes and yes as you say they ALWAYS straighten hair, but she literally just stops wearing huge glasses and stops pulling her hair back as tight and is happier and more confident, she still looks like HER. It’s so well done!!!

Who remembers the red? I was in love with this color. I didn’t care what color I bought my TT RS in I just knew it was going to be matte red as soon as I bought it. @ofcrplz and @steveshearer to save the day! This was a photo done by @koreagomultimedia on last minute notice and honestly these were some of coolest vibes I’ve seen with this color theme.

Not only did Bill Clinton win the popular vote in 1996 over Bob Dole, but he got 9% more of the Popular Vote

Not only that but Bill Clinton won the electoral college over Dole by 379-159, which is by any objective measure an electoral college landslide.

I only bring this up because Bill Clinton DID NOT whine like Donald Trump, who is whining by bringing up he won the E.C. over Senator Hillary Clinton 304-227.

A difference of 77 while Bill Clinton’s was a WHOPPING 220 EC votes over Dole, or almost Three times the winning margin that Donald received.

But President Bill Clinton didn’t whine about being impeached and state it wasn’t justified because how many E.C. votes he got because that would have NOT MATTERED in the least.
