Depends on where the alignment break is. If we're differing on "should the city build more firehouses or more libraries", that's okay.

If we differ on "should people be allowed to marry partners of any sex or gender they wish", or "should abortion be legal"... that's not.

This looks like people using definitions differently. What does "meet with" count as here? What does "knew a guy" mean here?

Yeah, this reads like CENTCOM had asked and the White House said no, but finally realizing that, oh crap, they need this.

It's such a disappointment that the tech for voice-activated phone trees has been adopted by scam calls. That just makes the problem worse.

That is an amusing mental image. Clench! Grunt! Throw it back! And, then in the next panel, there's two magnets flying away on opposing arcs.

Photographs of a dinosaur-looking bird, the shoebill, and popstar Sabrina Carpenter, overlaid with a height comparison showing both are 152 cm, with visual graphics saying the magazine's name SSWAGGER and some Chinese characters

Photographs of a shoebill and popstar Sabrina Carpenter overlaid with a height comparison showing that, yes indeed, both are just 152 cm

I can't even begin to describe this photograph. I think that might be Taylor Swift on a night out with Sabrina Carpenter. But Sabrina is photoshopped to have a shoebill face and talons, with wing-tips coming out her coat but still Sabrina's hair

Just incredible shoebill awareness-raising from this Hong Kong teens' magazine

Dear Temple Israel Family,
Everyone is safe. All 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe.
As you have no doubt heard, Temple Israel was the victim of a terrorist gunman who was confronted and neutralized by our security personnel who are truly heroes. Our teachers followed their training and kept the children safe and calm.
We are deeply and humbly grateful to our teachers, staff, security, law enforcement, and Shenendoah Country Club that welcomed us, fed us, and sheltered our staff, teachers, children, and parents. What incredible neighbors we have. What incredible police force we have
This note is coming to you before we know anything about our future programming or services, or any investigation. We wanted you to know we are safe, and we love you all.

Live updates: Police in West Bloomfield, Michigan responding to possible active shooter at Temple Israel | CNN Police are responding to reports of a potential active shooter at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said. Follow for live updates.

As we wait for more details to emerge from what appears to be an ongoing attack on the largest Reform synagogue in America, we send love and solidarity to the entire congregation and community.

Regardless of what exactly is happening, no community should have to live with this fear.

Mostly just history repeating itself. The Iranians laid mines during the Iran-Iraq War.

Because the redundant text boxes are to test if you're willing to do stupid things that make no sense but make someone else at the company's life easier, because it's harder for them to change than for them to demand you do what they say.

So, just like last time, after the Soleimani assassination?
