Can't wait to see if my sister has heard Pennsyltucky. She lives in an armpit of Pittsburgh.

There is a Reagan biopic where he is played by Dennis Quaid, but the movie was never released although it was made in 2021.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The US plastic-attributable disease burden in 2018 was estimated at $249 billion. It can only have gone up since then.
