I guess I shouldn't be *surprised* but it is making my head spin that the feds have shot two people, with live rounds, killing one of them, in Chicagoland in recent weeks, and in both cases they were very clearly found to be lying about what happened, and essentially nothing is happening about it.

The Texas Mobilization Order was an undated memorandum from defendant Hegseth that, similar to that issued the prior weekend in Oregon, referenced the June 7 Presidential memorandum that had been used as support for the federalization of California’s National Guard months prior.

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

There is a generic quality to this album that goes beyond formulaic. Reviews are all focused on the lyrics - but I’m talking about the production. It sucks. Not cause it’s “bad”. Cause it’s blank

I have a very specific hunch that Max Martin and Shellback used AI to help make the new TS album and I will cling to this hunch till proven otherwise
