The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Seeing this list and I will say: The popularity of most of these & their cultural influence is A PROBLEM.
Went from dominance of biased corporate media to hrs of unchecked dangerous & ignorant drivel.
Less podcasting & more audiobooks would be a good push right now.

I might start a revolution just based on the fact that the president of the USA (& the White House) keep referring to Colombia and Colombians as “Columbia” and “Columbians” all over social media. For real.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

Insane thread.
Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.
I did it because the government isn’t.
This is what I found.

Actually a scary possibility.
It's honestly a matter of time before US national leadership becomes so detached from reality and consequences that they launch a nuke as part of a nihilistic joke to own the libs

The only civil unrest we might see in Portland is the one being purposely created and fostered by the current Federal Government. They are doing everything they can to ignite it all.
