Rockets have hit another military base hosting US forces near Baghdad's international airport, Iraqi police said.
Still watching shows about hauntings, and they're doing the clown motel in Tonopah, NV. We stopped in Tonopah on our way home from Portland when we were moving back to New Mexico.
We saw that motel, and all 3 of us were like NOPE NOPE NOPE and ended up staying in the Rodeway inn or something. Lmao.
Ghosts are fine. Clowns are not.

Republican Gets Police Involved After They’re Threatened For Opposing Jordan https://bipartisanreport.com/2023/10/19/republican-gets-police-involved-after-theyre-threatened-for-opposing-jordan/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@Huntn00 Quite possibly true. However, believing this threatens to make it a self fulfilling prophecy. If there are ways out, they will exist because at least some people looked for a way out despite the offs. (I’m 76)
Anyone who places a warning on social media that they can’t tolerate any disagreement in an exchange of ideas or they will block you, is better off self locked away onto their own little safe space. My reference is to an individual at writing.exchange who made a bold statement about his intolerance and then erased the statement and blocked me, when I questioned him politely. Sir, thanks for the favor! 🤡
@Huntn00 Yes, a legislator he is absolutely not and cannot claim to be. He's a flamethrower and chaos agent.

If I say something you disagree with, you're better off unfollowing, muting or blocking me than starting a debate.
Generally that's what I do in response to anyone who responds with debate or argument or nuanced explanation about how I'm incorrect. Unfollow, mute, or block.
I'm not posting anything to start a debate.
If a debate is what I get, I have effective tools to end it.
