Like the French under nazi occupation, sooner or later each American will find themselves in a moment where they have to choose between collaboration and acquiescence, or resistance. And I have a feeling that will be sooner rather than later.

Well, hang on -- Ethiopia is supposed to have the Ark of the Covenant, so why can't it lay claim to hosting the site of Eden? And, what; chemical engineers can't have a hobby? Sorry, I'm a little grouchy, what with the fascist takeover and all.

As a chemical engineer I would like to point out that you should always be wary when chemical engineers make claims about stuff in other fields they know nothing about.

Researcher claims he's found the Garden of Eden after carefully analysing the Bible and Quran – it may have been situated in the highlands of Bahir Dar, a fertile region in northwestern Ethiopia.

Y'know, it's funny -- I've always wondered: What *is* the finest chocolate in the world? And -- here we are; 'Antifa' brand.

Nice.

Starting a new fundraiser for the nationwide massive membership of ANTIFA.

We'll be selling these.

Did you know that the 100 wealthiest corporations/people own about 8% of the world's entire wealth?

That's kind fucked up, right?

Sweet.

It's so cool being a Soros-funded radical left antifa domestic terrorist. Antifa Central in [undisclosed location] advised that I'm being promoted from Domestic Terrorist II to Domestic Terrorist III, with a nice salary bump, fruit basket, and a thank-you note.

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

At least one senior Labour official seems to finally remember they aren't in Reform.
The changes won't just harm economy and country, they'll destroy families and force more people into becoming undocumented, leading to more deportations. They need scrapping not pausing.

Absolute legend.

But really, *those* are the movies we're naming? She won an Oscar for ANNIE HALL and more than held her own with an all-star cast in the GODFATHER films.
