This headline was quite triggering. I myself turned off the hydrogen on Count Von Zeppelin's LZ-1 airship while we were at 10,000 ft, and I was violently tackled and hogtied by the other passengers. In my defense, I was trying to light a doob without giving us all the Hindenburg treatment.

Oh, he's for sure in hospice at this point, if not on life support and hooked up to machines. I've been party to highly complex (and competent) schemes to keep a president "alive and governing" before, and worse. Zachary Taylor was as dead as a doornail before he even won the election.

Someone advised me to watch the moving picture show Dune, and apparently I picked an inadvisable one. However, I'm watching this hilarious thing and I have to know, is the character below supposed to be Stonewall Jackson?? Because HOLY SHIT youtu.be/mWq15lDh8yM?...

With a final stroke, the ancient evil of Elvish Plundering is completely whitewashed out of our history, to demonize doe-eyed puppy dogs.

When your mill workers are all under the age of 14, ARKANSAS, they spend their wages on lollipops and jacks, not goods & services.

"Although Louisiana doesn’t share a border with a foreign country, there are nine ICE detention facilities in the state β€” holding nearly 7,000 people." An estimated 6-7 million more Americans are currently being detained nationwide in long lines at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen franchises.

When Raccoons are forced to gig for Doordash to make ends meet, things have gotten bleak indeed.

This is a tragic loss of one of our National Historic Places. I was present at the original lodge during the '32 fire. My keen sniffer awakened me at the first hint of smoke, and I quickly rushed the 25 young women slumbering in the dormitory with me, to safety. www.azcentral.com/story/news/l...

I've been using auto pen for over 250 years. You still TELL it what to write. This little pervert has penned all my naughty correspondence since my first visit to Helvetia, when I snapped up the original. galeriedesmerveilles.jaquet-droz.com/en/automata/...

Allow me to tell you what will be "bad" for ICE morale - the first time one of these lowjockey ruffians gets absolutely wrecked/deleted while trying to kidnap an innocent, and the entire country CHEERS and APPLAUDS. Best of luck pretending you're not the bad guys after that goes down.
