i am not perplexed by kissing. it’s damn near the nicest thing you can do. what’s to understand
Animals have been kissing for over 17 million years, a new study suggests.
Kissing has long perplexed evolutionary biologists, given it has no obvious benefit to reproducing or finding food, while carrying the risk of disease transmission.

Evolutionary biologists don’t know why we kiss — but new research suggests kissing evolved long before humans existed.

i really am one of your more live-and-let-live type individuals, except when it comes to christmas. people like me are the reason ‘happy holidays’ became the standard. i’m why every department store sets aside a rented-mule-quality blue & silver table of menorahs every december
just trying to get out in front of this shit: i’m jewish. i am a jew. i do not celebrate christmas nor even really approve of it that much tbh. a surprising number of people every year fail to correlate ‘jew’ with ‘no christmas.’ regardless that is simply the way of the world

This is so far into virulent racism, there can be no normalization of this. For a long time, people have said we're on the road to a new Nazi regime. Well, here we are. If you were ever planning to fight violent fascism, the time is now.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.
