At 15 years old, rule-abiding Rory broke the law when she drove alone. On the episode, Rory's car gets hit by a deer while she's at a stop sign. Netflix/The CWOn season one, episode four, "The Deer Hunters," Rory (Alexis Bledel) drove herself to school after oversleeping on the morning of a test, and on her way to Chilton, a deer runs into her car. In the state of Connecticut, where the fictional town of Stars Hollow is located, you must be 16 years old to get your learner's permit or driver's license. Even if she was 16, she would still need another licensed driver in the car, a law that rule-abiding Rory would be likely to follow even if she was running late for a test.

The Many Links Between Project 2025 and Trump’s WorldFormer president Donald J. Trump has repeatedly claimed that he had nothing to do with Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative policy initiative to reshape the federal government. But Project 2025 has numerous ties to Mr. Trump and his campaign, a New York Times analysis has found. L. ZorcJump to the full list of authors, editors and contributorsSpokespeople for Project 2025 have denied that they are advocates for any particular candidate, and Project 2025 has no official ties to the Trump campaign. To limit the appearance of connection, Mr. Trump’s transition team has been excluding prominent people linked to Project 2025 from its preparations. Project 2025 additionally calls for the dismantling of the federal Education Department, which Mr. Trump has also pledged to do.

The city wasn't what we expected, and we struggled to get used to itBoston had beautiful foliage in the fall but it wasn't enough to make up for our issues with the city. Even our cats, confined to a too-small apartment with views of a similarly run-down building beside us, seemed to feel it: Boston wasn't for us. But by 2021, we knew we had to leave — the two years since our August 2019 move to Boston felt like a decade each.
