lightbox 

An emergent theory of space-time in which the speed of the fastest phenomenon is limited by the aggregate amount of the material in the universe, material has no discrete point of origin, and space is infinitely large.

Stipulates that any "fastest" phenomenon in the universe ie. light must have a discrete origin point.

Argues that in contrast to approaching the speed of light requiring all the material in the universe, achieving infinite speed requires no mass at all and would cause linear time to stand completely still.

Posits that the universe moves infinitely fast outside of itself obviating the existence of other universes ie. outside of the universe it is eternally now.
Lightbox argues that there are two obverses but there is only one inverse.

gary lightbody 

An amazing lead singer to the band Snow Patrol. He is a great song writter and has writen for Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls. He writes about lost and broken love, as well as some foggy nights in the local pub. He seems to be quite a romatic and lover. Very in touch wtih his emotions. There also seems to be a lot of hurt and pain in his heart, like he feels like he has messed to many things up. He misses a lot of his old girl friends, and it sometimes hurts to sing older songs that he no longer relates to, but does for his die hard fans. I think I may loose my verginity to this amazing man. I will keep you posted on this dream of mine.
Gary Lightbody was not too sober last night, but he still had a good gig, he is quite the comedian you know.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
