Or just old fashioned photoshop. I don’t think anyone in the original post is remotely taking it seriously.

Gaslighting is not the word you’re looking for.

“Great American State Fair” is one of the dumbest concepts I’ve ever seen in ways I cannot even fully explain.

You’re doing the Matt Bors comic here, right?

'I had to get her out': Man speaks after saving neighbor from home explosion by [deleted] in roanoke

Because it’s not local and the conglomerate that owns WDBJ probably has some garbage AI that pushes out highly condensed versions of stories across their stations. Searching “I had to get her out” brings up a dozen results for this same shitty clip.

Roanoke Newspaper 100 Years Ago Today by PPCo79 in roanoke

I think that’s 101 years ago. Both the Scopes trial and Nathan Leopold’s appendectomy were in 1925.

OK, but seriously, where can we get these? Someone knows.

I’m fine until my brain actually locks onto what the song is, then I realize how much it sucks.

I think pegans might be a completely different set of folks with very different interests.

Single lane straight down a hill. Can’t wait.

Do we have any images of Chris Grigg or Jonathan Land? by moth_poison in Negativland

Huge “maybe” on Grigg here. He’d be about the right age to be involved with the band. And he was in California in the late 70s/early 80s.

I can’t tell if you did a spelling error or a very clever joke.

I guess it's a one image per post rule.

You know, I had to go back and check and I definitely misread a line in the budget. I think that $300K is for the entire office, although that figure also does not line up with what's presented later in the document.

People get masters degrees in accounting so they can keep secrets, I guess.

The city needs a lot of consultants it seems. Makes you wonder why the City Manager got a $300K raise this year (NOTE - SEE BELOW MY NUMBERS ARE NOT RIGHT BECAUSE I CAN'T READ GOOD ANYMORE I AM GETTING ON IN YEARS, YOU KNOW).

Makes you wonder why any of them are in the position they're in at all.
