What is that thing in front of the turret, and where is the main gun?

Why are there so many periscopes everywhere?

Northwest Passage by Stan Rodgers. Love his other stuff too. People are often surprised that I, an immigrant, know something so Canadian.

America has been doing mass graves frequently and for a long time.

Besides the genocide of indigenous people, there was the mishandling of COVID and the off-shored mass graves at the a Salvadorian mega-prison that Trump pays so many millions of dollars to use.

This is what they're hoping you'll say, "huh? I couldn't do that even if I WAS sober!"

Just what I was wondering.

She used election funds to pay hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels?

They're going to have to fix that for US users, like the Bay of America

"The King who forgives is also the King who judges." is a hard line!

Now Son, I know it's a fierce temptation but take it from someone that's been fighting the good fight a lot longer...

Join your town's local discord server. If it has two, one is the shit one. If it doesn't have one, start it. I started a city discord that grew to over 600 members in two years. Is important to delegate as you grow and encourage all members to try organizing and leading events if they like, at least trying once.

If you can't host, you'll need to recruit at least one person that can before the ball gets rolling.

If you like discussing books and films, which are some of my favorite things, movie nights are great easy get togethers and if you don't have a member with a big living room and TV you can all go to the cinema together (but that's expensive).

A book club can even be done in a voice channel.

If your town has a boardgame cafe, that's really good to take prospective friend groups.

If you don't have that option, look for community organizations with a building, such as a progressive church. Unfortunately that will put some members off events, especially members of many minority groups.

Hiking is free and doesn't require securing a venue.

You can gain a lot of real (not nebulous internet) community, friends, gratitude, and (to put it bluntly) clout.

During the summer y'all can hang out in parks.
