If you're going to a Vanilla Ice concert during a pandemic there was no hope for you to begin with.

were the 90s great or did you just like being young and relevant?

Just bought a block of 50 tickets, let's go and have an ontd meetup!

Oooh... my friend’s going camping this weekend. I volunteer his house for ontd central!
I can host 4 in my one bedroom apartment. 6 or 7 if you’re willing to sleep on my back porch.

no, vanilla.

[elstree]

i was literally just talking about this like two days ago! i said “no, vanilla!” forever lmao
and now i’ve commented three times in a vanilla ice post and i’m ashamed

lol I saw this live (or whenever it first came on)

[devoida_taste]

I had it taped on VHS when it came out! LMAO! The whole "special" was hilarious.

Apparently the owner is a crazy Trumper surprise surprise. They say their venue (“Restaurant”) holds 5k, so 2.5k is within guidelines but it’s bs cause I think our max outdoor gathering is 100. None indoors though as long as you’re 50% capacity and have 51% food sales.

Anyways, if TABC doesn’t shut it down it’s because they’re already gonna shut the state down and are letting the wackos get their jollies (Covid) before Monday’s rumored statewide shutdown. Imo

Ooooh.. I haven’t heard about the statewide shutdown. The skeptic of me is wondering how that will affect the runoff election.

They need to expand mail-in options, but of course they won’t, because voter suppression is still a priority during a pandemic

It's so frustrating! It's basically impossible to do if you aren't over the age of 65.

I was luckily able to go vote on Tuesday and was literally in and out in 5 minutes. Definitely not as many polling locations open here and I don't know if that is suppression or covid. Why not both!
