I assume sleeping pills are for when your remote's batteries run out.

A bizarre story, the possible conclusion of a saga I've been following for over a decade, that's even gone as far as getting on Fox News:
Note: Tucker Carlson being Tucker Carlson, does not seem to have done much research into this case, especially since he seems convinced that Chris-Chan is their actual name and not a shortening of Christian/Christine Weston Chandler.
Also, Carlson spends too much time harping on Chris' status as a trans person, fails to note that, while Chris was taken to a men's prison instead of a women's prison, this seems to be the default for Virginian transwomen who haven't yet had the chop (and Chris has not.) And, of course, fails to mention the lively debate among those who follow Chris about whether or not Chris actually counts as a transwoman or if he's just deluded (for the vast majority of trans-folk, this argument is little more than gaslighting and denying their lived experiences, but given that Chris believes himself to not just be a woman, but the future God-Empress and liaison of the merger between our reality and a dimension where all fictional characters live, not to mention that his realisation came when he saw that one of his past lives was a woman who went to Woodstock, this might actually be the only case I know of where this is a legit argument.)

Two months ago, a new specimen of early hominid was announced to have been discovered in Harbin. They called it homo longi.
Quote:Chinese researchers have unveiled an ancient skull that could belong to a completely new species of human.
The team has claimed it is our closest evolutionary relative among known species of ancient human, such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.
Nicknamed "Dragon Man", the specimen represents a human group that lived in East Asia at least 146,000 years ago.
It was found at Harbin, north-east China, in 1933, but only came to the attention of scientists more recently.
An analysis of the skull has been published in the journal The Innovation

And, of course, its nickname was "Dragon Man." Which sounds like a perfect cue for this:

That's what these nuts who come in here and plaster pieces of magic book are doing. Casting a magic spell. They're not talking to us, or presenting something for discussion, they're uttering a cantrip over our bodies expecting it to enact change in our state.

Good for him doing the right thing - politically.....
Now I hope he gets a fair shake in any legal proceedings.
