It's a real thing. I am 70 and still remember my childhood phone number.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Trump knows that Portland isn't on fire. It's just the required LIES that his MAGAt base wants to hear.

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 23h

We don't know where Trump is seeing Portland 'on fire.' That's frightening.

If Trump can be fooled by a fake video with his own face and voice, what else is fooling him?

Here's proof that they were taking money from USAID to finance Immigration caravans. How do you think those people got here, fat and with a charged up cell phone. The republican party is the party of LIARS.

Poor little baby.

Fetterman is such a disappointment as a senator.

I hope he’s primaried and voted out of office.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

Indigenous history is American history. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recommit to justice, respect, and restoration, remembering that truth and reconciliation are ongoing work. Healing begins when we listen, learn, and stand together.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.
