    Good news: The non-sexy green M&M is coming back! On Monday, M&M’s parent company Mars Wrigley announced that it would be pulling its M&M’s ‘spokescandies’ mascots indefinitely and replacing them with the actor Maya Rudolph. However, the company told the New York Times on Friday that the controversial move was all just a PR stunt, and that the spokescandies will indeed return at the upcoming Super Bowl.

  2. FWIW there's a credible argument that Bryan didn't argue against evolution because "hurr durr monkeys ain't people." Social Darwinism was prevalent and used to justify the wealthy gutting social welfare, labor reform, and anything else that threatened robber baron profits. Unlike Trump (what a terrible comparison) or Mencken, Bryan gave a shit about the impoverished and powerless.  Mencken promoted drivel from Ayn Rand and Nietzsche.

    what a fucking game ! 

     

    Maybe I'm drunk but what does this mean? Wouldn't the batter's team need to be behind for them to be able to tie? How did any of the Astros after we took a 3-1 lead "have a shot to at least tie the game"?

    I heard on the radio that Parliament threatened to quit if he followed through with the wedding which would have violated the norm that the monarch be politically neutral. He stated it as the core of why it was a "constitutional" crisis. Abdication was the only real option for him to go through with the marriage.

    Church of England allows marrying after divorce.  Plus QE2 gave Charles permission to marry CPB, per the Royal Marriages Act.  Plus the approval from the Archbishop of Canterbury. 

    Edward was way different because both the Church said no (he was already King, unlike Charles) and the government was going to resign if he married Wallis Simpson.   Plus times are different - it was pretty taboo to marry a twice-divorced woman then, especially while already King, versus Charles marry a divorcee while just a Prince in modern times.

    IIRC, there was also something about if the former spouse (of the divorcee) was still living, which in the case of the now King Charles case would be a no. In the recent past with Wallis Simpson, I believe both of her former spouses were still living while she was with Edward and that was problematic from the POV of the Church.

    So stupid, especially considering the Church of England was founded so a King could divorce his spouse.

    LMAO.  I'm not the world's biggest Maren Morris fan, but she's talented enough.  What did she do to piss off FOX News?

    Jason Aldean married a transphobic bitch. Morris called her out.

    Looking at that Texans for Abbott account and saw this. A "champion for children, teachers, family, and public schools"? Seems like there was a recent event that happened that made national news that says "not so fast."
     

     

    "pubic schools"
