Billionaires don't have anyone around to stop them from going full cray.
These men all actually sound like village idiots.

I can't stop laughing at this one and I don't even remember which freak it is.

Mr Poland shows us that not *everyone* in Europe fucked it badly this year. It's not the most thrilling look but it is clean, well done and interesting. If only the rest of Europe had taken note (and believe me, we're not done on that front yet...)

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

"No more than a liter of wine a day" - In the early 1950s, when French wine consumption was 140+ liters/capita, France launched the campaign "Santé Sobriété" to limit alcohol consumption. In 1954, Philippe Foré became the chief designer. #WineHistory`
