You guys, birds literally won't stop flying into my office window — like, multiple times an hour, every hour, for several days now. This is obviously a sign of End Times, right?

Wild to see what's going on in deep red Fairhope, AL. Moms for Liberty got the local library defunded after librarians refused to remove "sexually explicit" books about sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. Which provoked its own backlash. Now residents are up in arms about the right to read.
