I just read something that completely surprised me.

Colonel Klink ("Werner Klemperer") won two Emmy's for his character in Hogan's Heroes. That is a show I have watched for 30 years and still watch. I would have never believed if someone told me that show won an Emmy.

Even stranger he was an operatic baritone singer who performed in many Broadway plays as a singer. He was Jewish and his family never really escaped and Nazi Germany in 1933. His father was the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra for a while.

I have a pair of chino pants I wear around the house that are pretty worn, have stains, etc, so when I went to town today to get a haircut I wanted to change into something better. So I put on my faded blue jeans. I won't claim they're 'dress-up' but I'm fine with being seen in them

I didn't see this coming years ago, blue jeans being pretty much OK

I think it might be useful. Like all my arguments about what's true in politics will just be, "You don't really know if that's true either."

I see these fake videos on YouTube all the time and they look real but the people in the comment section are really good at calling them out. If it goes beyond common sense it's always fake.

I agree, all Trump videos must be fake because he is always beyond common sense.

If you mean he makes too much sense and acts like an actual leader, nope that isn't fake. And Joe Biden acting like a stumbling bumbling moron, that wasn't fake either.
