Oh boy! A good old fashioned impersonator. Following all women…ew.

Seriously, ladies. I will NOT slide into your DMs. Do not send “me” money or lewds. I’ve reported, but multiple reports can’t hurt.

The details of this lawsuit are beyond sickening. The depraved indifference to his prolonged agony. There must be justice for Kingsley Bimpong.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

There is no girlfriend of the leader of Antifa.

They are creating imaginary people so they can justify going after real people.

a horror movie where a Freddy/Jason style killer appears to terrorize a small town and everyone is just like “seriously dude nobody has time for this right now you aren’t even the scariest masked asshole knocking on doors around here” (the movie is very short)

One of my dad's bedtime stories was the time a hit was accidentally put on him in the 1970s in Bangladesh because he had the same bird as another European white man they actually wanted dead so he had to go in hiding when he was in his 20s.

dads having to desperately scramble to make up bedtime stories out of whatever material they have available in their heads is a beautiful tradition and also why it took me until I was in middle school to figure out that Wilt Chamberlain was a real person and not a character my dad made up

Please stop calling everything distractions. Multiple heinous things are being done at once. They all need to be acknowledged and dealt with. If you're feeling burned out, divide up the issues among your friends. Choose the ones you care most about, and keep each other up-to-date as needed.

Finally came up with a way to express this feeling 😅
Jurassic Park meme where a screeching Velociraptor is labeled "the news on my phone" and Chris Pratt, with arms outstretched, trying to calm it/hold it at bay, is labeled "me every morning."
