My dad used to comfort us with that fact.

The Day After movie scared the crap out of me as a kid

Biden had a press conference. Do you all not get breaking news alerts?

I think people are referring to this, although I would hardly call it a press conference b/c there is no such thing as a free press in Russia: https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/24/europe/putin-ukraine-address-threat-intl/index.html

We’re leaving tomorrow. Packing up starting tonight.

Exactly the kind of people who would be left are not people with whom I’d enjoy living. Also didn’t any of you watch The Walking Dead? Ugh the whole survival thing is just more angst and hassle that I’m willing to tolerate.

+1, I don't see any internet until my workday is done. Can somebody link to what they're talking about, instead of mocking?

Biden addressed the nation and answered press questions afterwards this afternoon.
