I can't stress enough how young staffers working for Republicans are basically all groyper Nazis now. The leaked texts yesterday saying "I love Hitler" and now swastikas on congressional offices.

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.
María Corina Machado is a worthy laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize, but I can't help thinking the Nobel Committee chose her, at least in part, to avoid the backlash of snubbing Trump by awarding the Peace Prize to a Trump ally

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.
I'm not trying to imply anything, but I've been on paracetamol for a full week now and I'm increasingly feeling the urge to buy a model railway set
I'm home again 😊, the pain is under control so long as I don't make sudden movements
