No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Thank you to @pftompkins.bsky.social for an amazing show last night! My wife and I were up in the nosebleeds but enjoyed every second. And we were probably the only two people up there who were chanting "trouble... trouble... trouble..." during the "Mothers of River City" bit of the encore <3
