pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Need help, but not sure who to call? Text, call, or chat 988 for help with #MentalHealth, #suicide, and substance use problems. Call 911 for emergencies involving immediate physical danger.
Knowing the right number can make all the difference.

My father is in his late 70s & lives in a neighborhood that is transitioning much younger. He always asks his neighbors, including children, open-ended questions. He then makes thoughtful follow-ups. He takes the time to meet & and listen to everyone around him.
What’s ONE green flag about your father?

“We have biweekly meetings.”

Does this mean meetings “occurring every two weeks” or "meetings occurring twice a week”?

Yes.
