OPEN MIC TUESDAY 8th JUNE 2026

FACT OF THE DAY: Neutron stars are so incredibly dense that a single teaspoon of their material would weigh about 1 billion tons.

POLITICAL QUOTE OF THE DAY: “The state can’t give you free speech, and the state can’t take it away. You’re born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free…”
― Utah Phillips

POLITICAL HAIKU OF THE DAY:

A hundred days stalled,
Oil drifts where peace never comes—
Guns echo the tide.
