Oh.... 😭

In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents

He also never even went to the place now called the U.S.

Why are we joking about incestuous sexual abuse? I've seen quite a bit of this lately and it's super gross. There's little doubt that there's truth to the "joke" and it's not funny.

I love the belief in some kind of endless well of funds to pay off millions of protestors from every leftist protest. 😂

Why are people posting poop? 🤔

Man, what a disappointment. Found rot in another cola. So frustrating when she only flowered for 57 days under ideal temp and humidity levels. No sign of bud worms or other pests. Just nasty mold. Ah, the unknowns of outdoor growing. 😒

We need so much more of this. These reporters need to lose their patience, forget decorum and just start calling the liars out and cutting them off as a rule.

We already had the zombie, fascist version of the government that wasn't trustworthy in any way before the shut down. Who knows what's to come. 😬

It's wild to give a peace prize to someone for tireless efforts against fascism in Venezuela... who applauds the fascist regime that has blown up multiple people on boats from her country with no due process. Weird way to fight for democracy. 🤔

Guilty. ✋ At some point, I realized that I have a comfy house, plenty of cheap, good wine (I live in Spain), a huge stash of good weed (I grow my own), a personal library, four cats, a big TV with a comfy sofa and I'm a good cook. There's literally zero reason for me to leave. Ever. 😂

"This disparity reveals not a neutral standard of peace, but a choreography of recognition that rewards imperial alignment and silences those who resist its violence."

Also, he thinks we don't know that Hitler was a totalitarian megalomaniac?? What does he believe that we think Hitler was? 🤔

This guy and his fucking fantasies. Women were melting and wanting to throw their panties at him? ROFL. To be "more attractive to women" implies that one was attractive in the first place. Alex is repellent in every way, including physically.

I see the South Park version! 🤣🤣🤣

I actually feel like I hate him even more than Trump. The rage, contempt and disgust that I feel when I see his bloated face...

Luckily, European homes are usually very well insulated. They are usually made of stone or cement so they are rather like caves. It's helpful in the summer! 😅

Thanks! Luckily it only seems to be affecting the crown of one cola. Fingers crossed for when those buds dry and get cracked open. 🤞

I had to chop and trim this girl this morning. Pretty sad about it because I wanted to let her go longer, but found some rot in one of the colas. Not sure how with rh levels averaging in the 40s, but at least I don't think I'll lose much. Most of it looks good.

We have those too! We are in Europe and don't use a lot of whole house climate control (gas is expensive!!). The mantra is "heat (or cool) the person, not the room". Those mattress pads are soooo awesome in the dead of winter!

I hear you. I have neuropathy and sleep with a heating pad most nights. It's so comforting!
