My coworker spent one year in Tennessee. He came back to Tokyo two months ago. He is not the same man. He says "y'all" in meetings. To our boss. He holds the door for the entire floor. Twelve people. Every morning. He asked the convenience store clerk how her day was going. She had to sit down. He calls every man "bud." Including the CEO. He refuses to describe anything under three hours away as "far." He waves at drivers who let him cross. One driver waved back and almost hit a pole. Last week, he told a junior employee, "I'm proud of you." She went to the restroom and cried for ten minutes. We thought it would wear off. It didn't. It's spreading. Three people in accounting now say "y'all." The junior employee holds the door. The convenience store clerk asks HIM how his day is going. Tennessee, I don't know what you did to him. Please do it to the rest of us.

An elderly woman was riding her bicycle along a road in Ukraine’s Sumy region when she noticed two military robots. One was damaged. The other was trying to pull it out of danger. Realizing they were Ukrainian, she stopped and went to help. The damaged ground robot of Ukraine’s 71st Airmobile Brigade had hit a Russian mine. Operators sent another unmanned vehicle to recover it, but remotely connecting the two for towing proved difficult. So the woman simply stepped in. She guided the recovery robot into position, helped it hook up the damaged machine — and the job was done. Then she returned to her bicycle and continued on her way as if nothing extraordinary had happened. We don’t know her name. We don’t know where she was going or who was waiting for her at home. But there is something profoundly Ukrainian in these images: she saw that our soldiers needed help, helped them — and rode on. A grandmother, a bicycle, two military robots and a war. Ukraine. 🇺🇦💙💛

Please don’t fall for Gondorian disinformation. The residents of Minas Tirith voted to return to Mordor. There was a referendum. Minas Morgul is the city’s ancestral name. Sauron is committed to improving Minas Morgul infrastructure + normalizing relations with Rivendell.

OTD in 2018 Jamal Khashoggi walked into an embassy, picked fight with trained killers who just happened to be there, beat himself to death, choped himself up with a bone-saw & then dumped himself in a secluded woodland. Something @realDonaldTrump called a "credible scenrio"
