Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

LOL

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...

I could swear there was a movie where this happened but I can't remember the title for the life of me.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.

The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be β€œeditors” and β€œfactchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Ok, who amongst the Scoobies hasn't been locked in Gyles' library cage at some point? IIRC Faith was. I think Buffy was once too.

That being said, if there's a book that will release a demon if it's read, what safer place is there than an American High school library.

There is a LOCKED CAGE in that library which is pretty exclusively used to imprison vampire friends having a bad day/multiverse. (Angel/vamp Willow)

I checked polymarket, but I think they have a rule against betting on deaths. Understandable, but frustrating in this specific scenario

I think it's more accurately described as "a Reagan" in this context.

It finally happened. I met a flat earther that said people don't really go to Antarctica because 'they' would shot you on sight.

Imagine their surprise when I pulled up my album of 4000 photos with geotagged coordinates.

Not punishing Nixon properly is one of the causes of this whole situation. Ford really should not have pardoned him.

Trump’s claim that he’s invading Democratic cities and militarily occupying them to β€œfight crime” is no different than Bush’s claim he was militarily occupying Iraq to β€œfind WMD.”

And much of the media is still mindlessly repeating the bullshit premise as if it’s real.

I was wondering why my anxiety was cranked up to 11 and then I realized I'd spent the last 3 days bingeing Severance.

Doesn't help that I confused my trazadone bottle for a second bottle of antidepressants

Well I'm learning the hard way that depending on weed and booze to fall asleep for about a decade straight has some annoying consequences when you have to detox

To give you an idea, Napoleon was considered average in his time. Nutritional science and selective breeding does wonders
