Offended bros could just adopt Two Mommy Tommy. Before anyone points out that these guys might not make the best dog owners (what makes a dog owner "best?") owning a dog has made me a better person. "I'll show them! I'll adopt and love the dog better than any lesbian could!" Go for it.

Why I quit the American Legion. - US Navy vet and librarian Volume 159, No. 3 (September 2005), p. 20.

"Libraries of Terror" displayed prominently as title of article on page 20 of American Legion, monthly publication of the American Legion. Volume 159, No. 3 (September 2005).

"Most U.S. libraries are tranquil centers for learning and reﬂection.
However, the next time you hear a misinformed lawmaker or media wag rail about the PATRIOT Act and its now-endangered “library provision,”
be aware that many of these institutions are being used as theaters of
operations for terrorists and pedophiles. And who can blame them? Some in the American Library Association have made them ideal places to plot crimes. Consider, ﬁrst, how Islamic extremists have made themselves cozy in the libraries of America. At least seven of the 9/11 hijackers used government libraries before their attack. Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi used computers at a New Jersey state college to buy tickets for American Airlines Flight 77, which later plowed into the Pentagon."

A NO PARKING sign modifed with a "K" instead of a "P" inside of a red circle with a slash. The letters "PAR" in "PARKING" have been crossed out with an "X" made of black electrical tape. The sign is on a blue pole. Beneath the signe is a ceramic bowl with geometric designs containing snack crackers printed with "Fuck Trump" in edible ink.

Just playing with ChatGPT to see what the political balance would be if Canada were admitted as a state. I followed up with "What if each province were admitted as a state?"

🇺🇸 Grand Total (for all 10 provinces):

Senators: 20

Representatives: ~53

Total Members of Congress: ~73

That would give the former Canadian provinces a massive presence, roughly equivalent to California + Texas combined.
