Mr Hong Kong is here to save us from the cavalcade of awful that Europe just flung at us. This is nothing groundbreaking or unusual for Hong Kong, but when it's done as beautifully as this I'm not complaining.

Mr Ecuador. Look at how happy he is. This is a chap who is just *thrilled* to be there. Also look at how tiny his feet look peeping out of those giant fluffy trousers.

Mr Cuba I feel needs some explaining because surely he can't just be dressed as sexy Jesus mixed with Charlize Theron from Snow White & The Huntsman. It's a well made garment and he's smizing so very hard, but I surely do not understand.

Mr China coming in hard with the first of the traditional and *stunning* looks. There's just the right element of cosplay to the look, the colours are stunning and we love a weapon as a prop in Mister Global (fnar). Although the shoe looks oddly clunky. Minor quibble though.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Went to a street market today and spotted a vendor selling their homemade pickles. As a I got closer to his stall, hoping to buy some, I noticed a small sign listing what was on offer.
There were little images next to some of the items.

I left without buying anything.

Hi, I’d like to order a custom hoodie in a camo pattern of Christmas colors and then I’d like a big Punisher skull with Trump hair sticking out from under a Santa hat. And this is VERY IMPORTANT, on the arm I want a patch that says K$H and “FIGHT WITH KASH” underneath. My name is Kash. Yes I’ll hold

If this thread hit you like ice water because you truly did not know covid spread is still mass disabling people (& killing ppl), please let it change how you operate now that you know—& don’t just take my word for it, do some searches in medical journals. When we know better we do better. I hope🤞

A definite fear of mine! But I see the voter turnout at the election site I work at, and those people are going to fight til the bitter end. I can only hope there are enough of us and we can make a difference before civil war. (Sure would be great to be able to sleep again. I miss sleep.)

Like, I genuinely have under eye wrinkles and white hairs mixed in on the sides of my head, so I dunno why it happens to me EITHER. People are just woefully unobservant, I think?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

And there it is, I feel like every time the GOP demonizes something, it's so they can tank the company and then acquire it on the cheap. Also, hand-marked paper ballots being hand-counted in *just* Bexar County, TX would take an INSANE amount of manpower, which = $$$$
