House Intel Chairman announces serious national security threat, sources say it is related to Russia
Welcome to the , where you can get jailed for expressing yourself even if you don't make any actual threats/incitements. The perks of being a country without something like the US 1st amendment. In Britain you could also get jailed for saying something "grossly offensive". And then they mock the Middle East for being "backward". This is America's future once the 2-party duopoly tricks the US public into giving up more rights.

Not a bird you can easily miss The glorious Eurasian Goldfinch
UKAmerican woman on my work call was lamenting her kids growing up. They didn't want to do any more. Sort of a wistful "they grow up so fast" kind of moment.
I raised my kids in the , where it's not really a thing. They never experienced what the Americans do in school. I have no such feelings.
I hated VDay in school. It was a bunch of perfunctory "I like you" messages that were given to everyone from everyone. It's "everybody gets a trophy" with this weird romantic slant, at an age when kids really don't need to be thinking about romance anyways.
