Remember the awful neighbor who called the police because of a patio? There's a fabulous sequel.

Here’s a Karen story that starts wrong but then goes right.

In short, Permit Karen has been harassing her two Black neighbors over a patio they’re putting in.

Made a scene. Alleged assault. Called police.

But then her neighbors stepped to her. [video]

And then the town’s FB groups absolutely blew up over the incident.

Policing her neighbors’ backyard, the false accusation, the call to cops.

The town was outraged. It doesn’t put up with this kind of shit.

And a few hours later this was her street.

Well. Somebody got her very own parade!

Sharing a wonderful Carl Reiner story

Here's a pick-me-up for you. Matthew Rosenberg shares a wonderful family story about his dad and Carl Reiner. Seriously, I laughed, I cried--it's really good.

Starting tweet:

I have a Carl Reiner story that I hold very dear to me. I figured I'd share it today, on the day of his passing, because I hope it will bring some other people some joy the way it does me.

trump is murdering thousands every day. Why is no one actually calling him on it?

Obviously, Rachel is saying something, and I am so glad she is. But Congress should be screaming, should have been screaming for weeks and months... The media, CDC, or AMA or somebody could get together and yell about this. There is no coordinated push to point out how murderous trump's administration is, how directly responsible he is for thousands and thousands of needless deaths. It just makes no sense.
