That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I have been seriously worried about early onset Alzheimer's, as the early signs are the loss of language skills. My typing has been becoming very erratic. Turns out that you can cure Alzheimer's by giving your keyboard a really good clean out. (Freed up a sticky "e" key)

Geen enkele politicus hoort belaagd te worden. Zo gaan we niet met elkaar om in Nederland. Gedraag je gewoon, ook wanneer je het met iemand oneens bent.
