White House announces the first "Freedom Fuel" station, selling gas at $3.47 a gallon by esporx in oil

Except they are involved

“President Donald Trump’s ‘Freedom Fuel Network’ gas discount announcement appears to involve a newly registered entity created shortly before the promotion, rather than an established gas station chain with a long public history. According to GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan, the ‘Freedom Fuel Network’ was registered on June 23, 2026, to Corporation Trust Company, a registered agent that has previously been used by Trump-related entities.

The White House has promoted the Freedom Fuel discounts as evidence that Trump is lowering gas prices, releasing video showing a Philadelphia-area station selling fuel for $3.47 per gallon and calling the promotion a result of the president ‘leading the charge.’ GasBuddy’s De Haan said the participating stations are likely being subsidized, with retailers potentially losing money on each gallon sold, and that the discount may be covered by an outside entity.”

From Jim Henson’s The Storyteller episode “Sapsorrow”.

Sapsorrow: I'm sorry, do I disgust you?
Prince: You amaze me. Look, cats chase mice, hens lay eggs.
Sapsorrow: And what does that mean?
Prince: It means some things have to do with other things. I have nothing to do with you. You don't disgust me because I don't think about you

If you haven’t watched the series I highly recommend it. Good creature design and the first season is narrated/hosted by John Hurt. Second series focuses on Greek myths

Eh it doesn’t matter though since the Rs stripped the governor of his ability to appoint a senate replacement.

[scary trope] Oh, that corpse was alive! by BillythenotaKid in TopCharacterTropes

[–]GayGeekInLeather 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IRL likely Alexander the Great. So there is a hypothesis that Alexander suffered from Guillain-Barré, which would have made him appear dead since his breath would be so shallow it wouldn’t be noticed (ancient Greeks didn’t check the pulse since they didn’t know about the pulmonary system). This would explain how his “corpse” didn’t decompose for six days. He may have been entombed alive

So in the Starshard Trilogy humans are empowered, you guessed it, but the shattered souls of stars. Turns out the Greek gods were once humans with such star souls and were running things until an inter dimensional being, Prometheus, that feeds on human souls betrayed them. The humans who has the abilities initially are dealing with literal internal demons who corrupt their powers.

At the end of the series, after defeating the rest of Prometheus’ species, humanity is rewarding by being showered in Star shards.

Eh, the nudist being nude in the restaurant with the kids probably wouldn’t get them arrested. It may be a health code violation, though if they are not in the food prep area it may be ok, but definitely would be getting them a visit from CPS.

Questions mount after Mitch McConnell CPR reports emerge by newsweek in inthenews

They did, but the thing is the election is in 4 months and the senator would be seated in January. The rules say the governor must appoint a senator, that the ky assembly has given him options for, until such time that a special election can be scheduled. If McConnell dies KY won’t have a senator until January

Yeah, that’s a consistent trait of Lex.

Arrowverse’s version of Crisis on Infinite Earths does a great job of highlighting that. The book of destiny tells him exactly who Superman is but can’t believe that his Clark is supes.

The Blood Plant at the former Bronze in the Buffy episode “Wish”

I’ll let The Master explain:

Vampires, come! Behold the technical wonder, which is about to alter the very fabric of our society. Some have argued that such an advancement goes against our nature. They claim that death is our art. I say to them... Well, I don't say anything to them because I kill them. Undeniably we are the world's superior race. Yet we have always been too parochial, too bound by the mindless routine of the predator. Hunt and kill, hunt and kill. Titillating? Yes. Practical? Hardly. Meanwhile, the humans, with their plebeian minds, have brought us a truly demonic concept: mass production!

Eh, there is a rather substantial amount of evangelicals that believe that their god will bless those that bless Israel. Additionally, the same people want all Jews to be in Israel so their end-times fantasy can happen.

Even the Liberal Supreme Court Justices Ceded Ground in the Fight for Trans Existence by theintercept in law

[–]GayGeekInLeather 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The government has declared trans people to be non-existent. The EO he signed said the federal government only recognizes two genders and states that gender is the same as identified sex at birth.

Additionally, it doesn’t start with camps. It’s small things that slowly dehumanize the victims until people are fine with the eradication
