My dad loved to set off fireworks, especially mortar shells, and we would always try to set them off in quick succession. He had the brilliant idea to use PVC pipe driven into the ground instead of the little tubes they came with so we could light more at one time. None of us knew enough about the physics to question him, until 8 shells went off in rapid succession and barely made it higher than the roof of the house. I miss that man.

It's desensitization. We're seeing so much AI content these days our brains are becoming trained to ignore things like this like they are normal.

It is. Foreground cat's shadow has hair, back left cat's right paw is melting into the roll holder.

Don't you just hate it when people mistakenly say true things?

Lucky. We got awful fried fish and runny coleslaw.

You're right, it was 2015, but as a simple layman I was aware of Russian meddling by the time this dinner happened. So if Jill and the Green party weren't aware of how bad this would look, and how worthless an olive branch to Putin would be, then at the very least they're too incompetent to be worth a vote. Unfortunately I did not know about this gaffe by the time of the election and even voted for Stein in that election, which I still regret.

To draw votes away from the Democratic party nominee at the behest of her Russian donors. NBC News Link about the infamous dinner.

Great campaign image for them: "Do you want want to vote for fat Homelander or hot fey lady? The choice is obvious"

I made my wife look at it, then I had to go back because she noticed even more insanity. It just kept getting worse every time we went through the pictures.

This is the first time I've seen a "it just keeps getting worse" post and actually agreed. I went in n just expecting terrible siding, then the inside of the house, then the chairs, then the lights, then more chairs, the carpet, the exposed wiring, why are there chairs there?, it just kept escalating. Thank you for this.

I didn't even learn about the Haymarket bombing until I was thirty. It's like Armistice day became memorial day and no one is ever told that it was originally a day to reflect on the horrors of war and now it's all just olive drab hero worship. We are intentionally under educated in the US
