Folks, if ICE shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball on camera, what do you think they do to people behind closed doors?

Im also glad to see it recognize the difference between the Sierra Nevada and Jefferson State, for they are weird neighbors. 😅

I am glad to see that this map also does not know which region Tulsa belongs in. After living there, I was always confused because it is soooooo Southern but sooooo Midwest. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance.

Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits.

You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222...
