More like Hand-sen’s necrosis
Hearing reports that Donald Trump has leprosy necrosis
I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

I’m spending Christmas by myself because reasons, but I plan to celebrate by eating red and green Indian dishes and committing 3 hrs to RRR. But the LG Universal Action channel constant Miami Vice stream being 10 frames off sync feels like I’m watching TV abroad.

Sad news: if you haven't begun thawing your turkey you are going to have a very tough time convincing anyone that you were to be trusted with this year's bird. No amount of gravy will drown your shame.

Not sure if it’s a cropping issue or if DHS is joining the war on cars.
truly unhinged and disturbing propaganda from the United States government

…asking [an improv comedy troupe] to help him fill out a use of force report
H/t @anthonymoser.com
Judge Ellis also found that a top CBP leader's testimony was not credible, in part because he admitted that was relying on unreliable "use of force" reports generated by DHS officers — and in a footnote, says video showed an officer asking ChatGPT to help him fill out a use of force report!

Lol skimming the graphic, I thought it was spray chart from a pro corn hole league and was super confused.
Here is an early NASA M2M model for the M7.4 CME. A glancing blow arrival is predicted for 2025-11-07 around 3 UT (Thursday night for North America).

This is already on top of two other glancing blow impacts and a coronal hole set to become geoeffective around the same time.

If anyone in the Chicago cargo bike community has a kid who decided to take off their helmet during a ride recently around Belmont/Lincoln/Ashland. Your helmet is right by the Whole Foods bike racks.

A journalist was arrested in America.
I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.
