Braxton, who was born in Newbern and described himself as a “handyman for the community,” hasn’t been able to access town funds since Stokes was appointed as mayor four years ago. He has used his own money to provide residents with COVID-19 supplies, as well as to host food drives and other events, according to The Guardian.

Sounds like they voted for the right person.

Cute story, not that's not how crows behave. They immediately distrust any random human who interacts with one of their dead in any way, and they share their knowledge of who they dislike with their offspring for generations.

Beetlejuice was never funny, so much as it was fun and weird.

Like hell it isn't. I watched that as a young kid and it's been a favorite ever since.

It is the movie that led to the creation of the PG-13 rating, though.

Other way around for me. I used to find "stupid humor" obnoxious, but now I can appreciate it better.

You may be joking, but I think that is a big part of what they look for, consciously or not. Progressives can be pretty happy discussing news and ideas with other progressives. Conservatives don't want to talk about things too much unless there's an argument to be had.
