Steve King (you know, the openly white nationalist congressman) didn’t understand 1) what notifications were and 2) thought Google made iPhones.
I can’t tell if it’s a him problem or if the average age of Congressional representatives being in the early-60’s just means none of them know how the hell anything past a rotary phone works.
These are the people legislating on tech and privacy laws.
In the wake of the deadly anti-Semitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, FRONTLINE and ProPublica present
a new investigation into white supremacist groups in America – in
particular, a neo-Nazi group, Atomwaffen Division, that has actively
recruited inside the U.S. military. Continuing FRONTLINE and
ProPublica’s reporting on violent white supremacists in the U.S. (which
has helped lead to multiple arrests),
this joint investigation shows the group’s terrorist objectives and how
it gained strength after the 2017 Charlottesville rally.
It’s another shocking, rocking Frankenstein Friday, and we’re makin’ sparks fly with a Tit-illating terror tale Ho-sted the Mistress of the Dark herself, Elvira! The freaks come out at night when Elvira opens the vault to bring you… Frankenstein’s Castle of Freaks! Elvira gets her freak on and the film itself is a delicious slice o’ cinema cheddar… what’s not to love?!
At 7:15 p.m. on September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred
May, and their friend Tommy Hyer said they saw a bright object cross the
sky and land on the property of local farmer G. Bailey Fisher. The boys
went to the home of Kathleen May, where they told their story. May,
accompanied by the three boys, local children Neil Nunley and Ronnie
Shaver, and West Virginia National Guardsman
Eugene Lemon, went to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever
it was that the boys said they had seen. The group reached the top of a
hill, where Nunley said they saw a pulsing red light. Lemon said he
aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall
“man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed,
hood-like shape”.
Descriptions varied. In an article for Fate Magazine based on his tape-recorded interviews, UFO writer Gray Barker described the figure as approximately 10 feet (3.0 m)
tall, with a round blood-red face, a large pointed “hood-like shape”
around the face, eye-like shapes which emitted greenish-orange light,
and a dark black or green body. Kathleen May described the figure as having “small, claw-like hands”, clothing-like folds, and “a head that resembled the ace of spades”.According to the story, when the figure made a hissing sound and
“glided toward the group”, Lemon screamed and dropped his flashlight,
causing the group to run away.

I am going to outlive myself. Eat, sleep, sleep, eat. Exist slowly, softly, like these trees, like a puddle of water, like the red bench in the streetcar.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
