Thinking about a guy I met via fb marketplace (bought weights from him). He said, by way of making smalltalk, "'Death to America,' the Iranians say? What about, 'Friends with America?' What about that? Maybe we'd go and visit them, if they'd change their attitudes towards us." Some powerful points
Interesting fact: today's date, written numerically, "02/26/2026" is the last date that will be a full palindrome until "05/28/2058" in 32 years! #amazingfacts #wow #ifuckinglovescience
