"The botched restoration became first an internet sensation and then a tourist attraction and the church began charging for admission. Ryanair laid on special flights to Zaragoza, the nearest airport, and today thousands of people continue to visit the village to see her work."

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that.
We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.

You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE?
There are several in late stages of development.
Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Classic Gothic Gloucester Cathedral, South West England
Groundbreaking in 1089, it was completed in 1482, 393 years later!

🎯 I love antiques and the woods found in these old furniture pieces are almost impossible to find now due to overharvesting. Old oak, American chestnut, elm, birds eye maple, flame redwood and mahogany, walnut and amboyna burls, yew... Given a new finish they are absolutely stunning.
