ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I'm on the blackhole episode of SG1 of my rematch, and wow, every memory of this holds up so well, it's such a fine balance of camp and actual really good story telling, the only thing I wonder is if anybody has a spreadsheet of who's on The X Files at the same time as this show in this season

Dear Fedex,
I understand you were the career of a package on the last leg for something I ordered from Germany, and I'm surprised how good shape it is with it being glass and initially being a DHL shipment, but you can't demand me pay import fees days after delivering it

In 2002 or 03 a Chicago public access cable channel aired this for at least a full half hour. No audio. I took a photo with a digital camera & that’s all the documentation I have. Anyone have any dirt?
