You guys have a monorail???

Agreed. We were there for 4 and same here, minus the sodas and donuts. 10% families with kids

A few thoughts about this:

1. PDX doesn't fuck around when it comes to protest defense expertise. 👑🦾

2. Whether this is "BlackBlok" or not, it's fucking ridiculous the situation exists in the first place.

3. If you're demonstrating, protect yourself. Plenty of videos etc with good info/tips

The hobby board game industry is already seeing companies closing (4-5 in the last few weeks). Everything is manufactured in China and there is no comparable manufacturing available in the US.

Here is another amazing protest - by the US Army Choir. I hope it is shared far and wide. I’ll bet many of the people applauding are clueless about the meaning behind this song, aka the French Revolution. youtu.be/pIQh_5dZUwI?...

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country.

All things manly

I love everything about and hope it becomes a regular thing about all things manly
