I'm Not Really Mary Poppins

Yeah... That's such a cringey 80s/90s teen movie trope. The popular girl gives the misfit a makeover and "fixes" everything: Clueless, Can't Buy Me Love, She's All That...

It's still worth watching, but there are crude parts that are definitely "part of their era."

And the date rape jokes! Yikes.

Breakfast Club.

Teenaged me: "Bender is a bad boy and cool. Claire is a stick in the mud who just needs to relax."

Adult me: "Bender has been sexually harassing Claire and demeaning her the whole movie. He finally broke her down enough that she accepted his abuse."

Fan fiction

Your job is to pick the worst actor to play James Bond.

ICE arrested Nashville journalist without warrant, attorneys say The journalist, Estefany Rodriguez, was taken to a detention center and remains there as of 3 p.m. March 5.

ICE arrested and detained a local journalist in Nashville.

Estefany Maria Rodriguez Flores had a valid work permit, is married to a US citizen, and has pending green card and asylum applications... But she has been reporting stories that are critical of ICE.

Rules also state that no unaccompanied minors, no women with children, and no adults over 70 may be placed in hold rooms. ICE has broken those rules as well.

I'm hoping that investigative reporters in other states are also closely examining the data... I bet there's other places of horror.

EXCLUSIVE: Secret ICE Detention Facilities Exist Around Colorado, Data Shows Just west of downtown Glenwood Springs, perched between Midland Avenue and Interstate 70, a strip mall houses a gym, a chiropractor’s office, a tax accountant, and on the far end...

Thanks to FOIA requests, 9 previously unknown ICE hold rooms were found to exist in Colorado. The rules are that detainees aren't supposed to be held for more than 12 hours, but records show people were there for weeks... without beds or toilets.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

You've definitely grown.

I'm just thankful that my son's robotics team isn't doing this sort of thing... but robotics isn't as white as hockey.

Graves.

165 graves.

Each for a little girl killed by the Israeli-American strike that targeted a school on the first day of the Iran War.

I'm not blaming the kids... It's just in this era of US military leaders telling their troops that bombing Iran is part of "God's divine plan," I'm wondering what adults put them to doing that?

I'm watching the State hockey tournament... And just wondering if anyone else is getting Christian Nationalist vibes when the boys all go to center ice for a prayer circle after every game?

Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her President Trump has fired his homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, and said Markwayne Mullin, a senator from Oklahoma, would replace her.

I'm glad she's out of DHS, but I don't think Markwayne Mullin is going to do any better at the job.

I just got this incredibly dystopian ad on Reddit...

Considering the news that the US Navy sunk an Iranian Warship, part of me hoped it was a new "tycoon" type of game... but I clicked on it and in the tiny teeny print that it said it was paid for by the US Navy.

My elderly dad also has memory issues, but he doesn't have access to nuclear weapons.

There's a woman named Marie who shows up in my family tree on three separate branches.

US and Ecuadorean forces launch joint drug trafficking operation Washington says the two countries are combatting 'designated terrorist organisations' in Ecuador.

Did y'all hear that the US military is in Ecuador now? How many countries are we fucking now? I hope someone is keeping track.

I take it Ecuador has oil and trump wants it.

I wonder what Trey Gowdy is up to these days... ? 🤔

I wonder if the members of Congress who made investigating Benghazi their entire identity back in 2012, are going to push for ten investigations into the deaths of 6 (so far) US Soldiers in this "war?"

Where's the story about him being fired?

Soldier from Minnesota killed in Kuwait Sgt. First Class Nicole M. Amor, 39, of White Bear Lake, was killed during a drone strike in Port Shuabia, Kuwait on Sunday.

Rest in peace Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN.

Another Minnesotan killed by Trump's fascism.

IDK much about hospitals or pro sports arenas, but... it seems like our state's priorities are messed up when HCMC is cutting services, laying off staff and discussing imminent closure. Meanwhile, St Paul Mayor's and the MN Wild just announced a $600 million funding plan for renovating their arena.

I will always remember the time trump told a gold star widow, he "knew what he was getting into."

REQUEST: The people caretaking the Alex Pretti memorial are looking for archival storage boxes/materials to store the room full of memorial items they’ve preserved.

Does anyone have a lead on where to get some?
