I bet that food still hasn’t spoiled.

From the article:

“## How did the UFO crash in 1947 left onlookers puzzled?

The story of the 1953 crash has been retold umpteen times by the locals of the area.”

So which is it? A 1947 crash or a 1953 crash?

Going down to Georgia implies that Georgia is under hell.

Thank you.

Could it also be considered “shoe gazer”?

Serious question: what style of music is this?

America is #1 in production of aircraft carriers. America is #1 in the number of incarcerated citizens per capita. America is #1 in the number of adults who think angels are real. America is #1 in defense spending.

Russia went from being the second best military in the world, to being the second best militarily in Ukraine, to being the second best military in Russia.

Democrats want your kids to go to school and be fed. Republicans want to put them to work in slaughterhouses.

Of course, it won't ever be their kids working those low-paying awful jobs, they're meant for your kids.

It's worth reading up on the group behind the recent Republican bills legalizing child labour: Foundation for Government Accountability. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Government_Accountability

They're best known as an opposition group against social welfare programs including SNAP (aka food stamps) and Medicaid. So pro child labour, anti welfare.

They state they raised $14.5 million in 2023 toward this effect. Now seriously imagine: wealthy people spending millions of dollars toward trying to keep kids from eating meals and low-income families from having a safety net.

And they're one more group tied into Heritage Foundation and Project 2025, natch. So if Trump were elected, they stand to be heard better than ever.

It truly was amazing. At that time, I lived on 19th street in Philadelphia. The four seasons hotel is also on 19th. When I heard that there was a press conference scheduled for the four seasons, I called a friend of mine who was working there and asked him about it. He said “we’ve been getting a lot of calls, but nothing is scheduled to be here”.

I hung up and was glued to the news, trying to figure out what was going on.

When they went live from four seasons total landscaping, I felt like the whole planet tilted to its side. I had lost my balance watching this unfold on the tv.

I regret not going down there.

 

no one is here?

A joke (self.humor)
 

One day a man walked into a bar. He told the bartender that he didn't have any money.

However, he would show the bartender something amazing in exchange for a drink. It was a slow day, so the bartender agreed.

The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a frog and a tiny saxophone. He gave the saxophone to the frog. The frog then proceeded to play an incredible jazz solo. Highly impressed, the bartender gave the man a drink.

The man then asked for another drink in exchange for something even more amazing. The bartender agreed.

So the man pulled a hamster out of his pocket and set it on the bar. The frog started playing the saxophone again. Then the hamster started singing along. It was a terrific jazz duet. Even more impressed, the bartender gave the man a second drink.

Just then another bar patron rushed up to the man. He offered the man $1,000 for the singing hamster. The man considered it for a moment and then agreed to the deal. The patron paid the man and quickly left with the hamster. After the patron left, the bartender exclaimed, "I can't believe you let a singing hamster go for only $1,000!"

The man replied, "It's no loss to me. The frog is a ventriloquist."
