one my favorite things to do this time of year is attach 12 foot yard skeletons to the giant roadside crosses you find down here in the south

Imagine of a 12 foot yard skeleton attached to a giant Ibeam roadside cross like a often see in the American south (photoshopped by the author himself)

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

Screenshot depicting posts on X, one showing the suspect accused of starting the Palisades Fire, a white man. The X news tab reports on the suspect's arrest, but shows a photo of a black man instead.

What you can only imagine does not pay for reality. That's what I always wrote on the memo line of all my checks, because back then it was time to stop saying I can only imagine to foolish dreams with tales of cashing blank stares at any bank wall
