It was a disturbingly close call which side of WWII we were gonna land on. In 1939 the second-largest Nazi party in the world was right here in America.
A man was arrested outside the Kremlin for holding a sign that said "Putin is an imbecile!"
He was sentenced to two years for slander and five years for spilling state secrets.
Roller derby in the 70s was likely scripted. Modern roller derby is almost definitely not. Tons of legit athleticism and power out there.
It's a little dated by now, but watch Blood on the Flat Track. It's about the Roller Derby resurgence from 15ish years ago.

Seattle PD is pretty fucking bad.
Seattle Police Officer's Guild is even worse.
The leadership at SPOG is about as bad a it gets in big cities. Look at anything that Mike Solan has done in his career, but especially look into his words and actions around the BLM riots and CHOP. It's fucking embarrassing that a city of our caliber has a police force of their caliber.
Oddly, a very similar war was fought in Mexico over mayonnaise almost four centuries later. I guess it was more a series of skirmishes than a war, but it was a fairly important conflict.
There were obviously other geopolitical factors at play, but it was largely symbolic resistance to European/ white influence on a country with massively changing demographics. In the spring of 1856, indigenous forces tried to block a large shipment of goods coming out of Spain. The freight consisted of a lot of different goods intended to provide a more "European" lifestyle for the elites in Mexico. While only a small portion of it was actually mayonnaise, it turned into a bit of a rallying cry for a movement trying to resist the influx of white oppressors who were turning into the ruling class.
Eventually the resistance forces captured an artillery battery and were able to shell the incoming freight ship, sinking it before it got to the harbor. While it obviously didn't stop the European influence, it became a folk legend and a rallying cry for Mexican pride. To this day, you can still see "Sinko de Mayo" celebrations commemorating the event.
I dunno. They've amassed 90% of their population along the US border.
He was in charge of American foreign policy during and immediately after the Vietnam War. TLDR he made policy decisions that led to the deaths of probably over 4 million people.
Bust out the Crown and Coke, bitches, we got a new Cambodian holiday!

My work magically got a supply of N95 masks early in Covid. It was unexpected, so we didn't have a plan or a system for them. Didn't think to have a limit or anything.
A crew from Albert Lee bought every single one, took them back to their store, and sold them at 100% markup.
