Y’all hear about this?..
States and cities are beefing up security to prepare for potential election-related violence. However, you can tell there are stark differences in protection plans, as tanks surround Black neighborhoods, and a guy named Garry wearing a yellow safety vest is patrolling the white ones.
Netflix is removing nearly all of its interactive titles. If you think about it, the entire app is already enough of a choose your own adventure game.
Harris’s campaign held eight simultaneous rallies in the seven swing states, playing the events from each rally at the others. “Welcome!,” said the candidate, “to Kamala Harris and the multiverse of laughter! Hahaha!”
In a "groundbreaking achievement, a clone of an endangered species of ferret has given birth to babies for the very first time. Upon hearing this, five magic words crossed presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s mind: “Can we give them guns?”
Finally…
On the War Room podcast hosted by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon (who was released from prison last week), Tucker Carlson claimed that demons were responsible for the invention of nuclear technology. And since the inventors of nuclear technology were white, we finally have something Tucker Carlson and Malcolm X agree on.
