I am once again reminded of Upton Sinclair's maxim:
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Do teenagers not shovel snow anymore?
I grew up in Connecticut, where we get quite a lot of snow, and it was my job to shovel the driveway in the morning. Today, I'm still kind of a shoveling fanatic.

#TIL: Although the Times Square ball drop dates to 1904, the tradition of counting down to 10 when the ball hits the bottom only dates to 1979! Before that people sometimes counted down a few seconds until the ball started dropping. Weird.
