15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Even without the videos proving what actually happened beyond doubt, there's no way Pretti was waving a gun around. How do I know? If he had been, not one of those snivelling, cowardly little weaklings with Mountain Dew for blood would've dared go anywhere near him.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

While the rest of the world may be going crazy, I can confirm that thermally spicy air is infact still just as spicy as always and does infact bite when you encroach on its territory like normal... probably should have played with the forge on a Friday when I didn't have to work afterwards.

My fellow dehydrated noodles,
Does everything feel like too much?
Has your beverage not moved since you sat down?
Is it all just aaaaahhhhhh?
You know the drill, get up, go get a new beverage, take a sip, and this time before you go back to your desk, send a meme or gif to a friend.
