Booked solid from 10-6 today. My company switched to a 4 day work week, but kept all of our recurring meetings.

Making your own stuff is more fun than ordering delivery and watching TV while you wait for it to get there

Dang, changing a flag? That's pretty scary.

I can think of a few other protests/riots that were a lot more violent and dangerous, that occured in a similar time period in the US, that seem to be all but forgotten...

Burning down city centers, looting from small businesses. Murdering people indiscriminately. It's strange what the online community has fixated on.

I would be willing to bet 85% of the living US population had never heard that word before, let alone used it, until the news told them to do so

Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.

I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.

Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: "insurrection." None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.

A mostly peaceful protest.

Bring it on tbh

Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?

Yep, it's this. They need to increase the limit - my android photos are 3.5mb

Thank you! ☺️
