Appropriately, the albumen(the white of an egg) when raw, looks like subpar semen with a sperm count that's below zero. The yolk(the colourful bit) is where all the flavour is at.

setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

🪬🧿 I'm Doug. May I help? <3

#rottweiler #dog #veterinarian #funny #humor #receptionist #office #alttext
A Rottweiler dog standing behind the reception counter at a veterinary clinic is the subject of a humorous image. The dog is looking straight ahead, paws resting on the counter. Behind the counter are office file cabinets covered in business cards, fliers, and other papers. A sign is taped to the front of the counter with a picture of the same dog with the caption "I'm Doug. How may I help you?"

The answer is no, Tom - people living* on the state pensions do not have it any “easier”, and pitting working young people against retired people is ludicrous and counterproductive.

*Living is not the term I would use for trying to get by on maximum £230.25 per week.
66 'I lived off the state pension for a week - and was forced to drink water at the pub' Young workers are buckling under the weight of Reeves's tax burden. But do pensioners have it any easier?

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing
Dear President Obama, I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza." Palestinians have families, too. This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide. I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world. Love, Ms Rachel

They’re still offering new ICE recruits a $50,000 signing bonus, yet active duty military were seen today lining up at food banks.

Defend your country and you can’t afford to eat.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
