Friday Night Funk 'n Wagnalls @sreddi_515 unironically this is how you alienate republicans like my dad, who has a whole thing about how lakota and apache chiefs were actual warriors gunned down by drunk cowards Quote Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar · 12h Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.

Beside it is a picture of a park with the Torre Glòries skyscraper in the background. The lines of a cylinder have been drawn around the building as an absurdly reductionist example.
