Fox News segment upset that Sims 4 update has a Sim modification where you can put double mastectomy scars. I suppose they're not worried about games where weapons are used to gun down multiple characters any more which are all over the place. Oh well.

Omar' speech today after she was booted off of the Foreign Affairs Committee by the GOP.
She correctly points out bigotry that has been aimed at her and others.
She is a very strong and brave woman; a great many threats of physical harm have been directed towards her but she refuses to back down.

I hope McCarthy keeps his opinion the same that the officer that shot Ashly Babbitt was correctly doing his job. What eventually was reported is the officer's radio was blaring reports of calls for help, officer down reports, and even screaming from some of the officers being hit. What was he to think about the danger with a mob breaking through glass and someone about to come inside?

That is a weird event.

Weird news lately.

I'm surprised they let her float over the USA land mass.

If it was near the nukes, that would make more sense now why Biden was advised against shooting it down.

Can't imagine why they need a balloon for spying. Pretty sure their spy satellites are adequate. Seems more like they would be monitoring transmission data in the atmosphere. All of the important stuff would be encrypted. Maybe they are launching micro spy drones.
