The flag — traditionally a symbol of distress when upside down — was hung on El Capitan summit at Yosemite Saturday night by frustrated park workers.

    I’d love to see that first one written up just to have flag manufacturers go, “Wait, what?”

      Im just imagining them creating some mind bending 5D object created by one dude who has been demanding funds for decades. Downside is anyone who looks at it for more than 5 seconds has an aneurysm, the sole exception are Autists who start hearing the whispers of dead gods and folks with ADHD because they zoned out and werent actually looking at the flag.

              I can’t tell what the flag is saying… It’s either “kill your family” or “bill loves emily.”

        Also Trump and Musk bought stocks in the mind bending object manufacturing companies right before requiring all flags to be made with them

        This sounds like a Call of Cthulhu adventure.
