Wtf. People have been recording tv and media to watch later since the days of the VCR ...
Be careful of false news that suits your narrative, it weakens our position.
That phrase has no known Nazi origin that I could find. As loath as I am to link to Reddit, there is a good write up here:
The Nuremberg trials were full of people who were just enforcing the law.

[FO] A wedding gift for our friends

As an aside, I have come up with a way of framing my finished cross stitch projects that I really like and thought I would share here:
I wash the piece and rinse well, then leave sandwiched in a clean white towel under a stack of books over night.
The next morning it is very slightly damp, and I gently spray the back of it with spray starch (the kind used for ironing shirts).
Then I iron the back of it, with the front on a clean section of the towel so the stitches aren't flattened, then leave it to dry uncovered for a few hours.
Then I flip it over, and armed with a toothpick and a few q-tips I spray some starch in a little cup and using a q-tip I dab any stitches like lettering or back stitches or French knots to wet them with starch and use the tooth pick to carefully align them.
While that dries, I get a piece of card stock and spray it with craft spray adhesive, there are many brands, but it's important that it's acid free and that the can reads that you can either spray and put together immediately for a permanent bond, or spray and let dry to use as a temporary positioning adhesive.
This is what I want, I spray a thin layer, let it dry, and it has the feel of... A sticky note adhesive. It holds the cross stitch so it cannot sag in the frame, but is completely temporary. I carefully place the cross stitch on the board and use a clean q-tip to press around the letters and design til I'm happy and pop it in a frame.
I've done quite a few like this over the years and so far nothing has gone awry. If anything does I'm confident it's reversible. 😊
The media would have you believe that no one is fighting back, this is because if you feel alone you are less likely to fight back.
The title of the article implies that it's just silly that a traffic officer was confronted at his house by ICE, but what really matters in this article is the people following those ICE agents with megaphones.
They are doing what is right, while taking personal risk, and their bravery should be spread far and wide, so others will be emboldened to act.
There are always good people, there are always those who will fight, you are not alone.

I love cheeky cross stitch, this was a free pattern found on the DMC website, then I chose a font I liked for the words. I think it came out great!
That is a scam, they probably send mass texts linked to tracking numbers that have a registered phone number.
That's the first thing I said when this was first posted, all those people who had the implants that enabled sight are left with no parts and no support since the company went under.
There should be laws in place stating these companies will provide support and parts for the entire life of the users. Anything less is criminal.
Honestly, the rules and laws on divorce are so wild across the country. I was married in California but my husband left after 6 months. I hadn't see him in 9 or 10 years, had no idea where he was.
Because I was in the state of Kentucky when I filed, I had to go to a church run "divorce education class" on how to save my marriage and complete a little workbook.
Completely insane class, I stayed in the back and tried to stay silent, but the teacher forced me to participate and asked some leading question about how I could communicate better with my spouse to prevent a divorce or some shit.
Told her I had no idea where my spouse was, that he had left after 6 months and that I had to hire a private investigator (and a police officer!) to serve my divorce papers. The whole thing was nuts.
What terrifies me about this is that there are no regulations or laws in place that say how long this tech that is implanted into people must be supported. Those poor people who got the bionic eye implants are now left with no replacement parts or support after the company went under, leaving those with implants that still work seeing with borrowed time.
The worst I have heard was when my husband's old boss was proudly bragging about how he didn't even leave work to be with his wife while she was giving birth to their first child.
He honestly believed that was something to be proud of.
We live in Australia too, so it's not like he had American orphan crushing machine to blame. He was just a horrible piece of shit.
The last sentence is a punch in the gut.
"The girl's father was in prison for a separate sex crime and has no involvement in his daughter's life, Tulsa Police told FOX23 News at the time of the incident."

Why YSK: It makes viewing images fast and easy, with no clicks.
I got used to this on the site that shall not be named, sometimes I don't want to open the whole image or post. With the addon if I hover over the image button that would expand the image, it will show the image full size for as long as I hover over it, no clicking needed, this works with gifs as well.

This is an amazing tool, would you consider adding the US and Australia if it's not too much work?
Australia always gets shafted with prices way above the US (the country everyone benchmarks against here).
