I just received an Amber alert with a link. Since the alert was labeled “Child Abduction,” I immediately clicked the link and was brought to X. I have never had Twitter or X, and there is no option to read the alert without an account. Is an X account required to receive Amber alerts? #amberalert

Your late thirties is a weird age. The mind wants to party but the body aches. Is there a club for people who want to dance to house music and take ecstasy on Saturdays between noon to 5pm? I want the matinee club experience. I want to drop it like it’s hot at a reasonable hour.
