    Off-Topic 3i/Atlas interstellar object

    Politics Fascist moves by the Feds Catch All

    Politics Mass Shooting & Gun Violence

    Just watched a some Netflix romance movie last weekend that took place in Southport, based on Nicholas Sparks book. Got one thinking how it'd be a nice place to visit. I'm sure many of ZZLers have been. What an effed up world we've become, with Trump, tariffs, ICE, et al. the cherry on top.
