I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

You’re doing it wrong. Rolled oats are to be eaten uncooked with milk - like cornflakes. Also, don’t let it soak.

Ended up spending all day helping this little wonder into the world. Had to call the vet to pull her out (huge), and the mother wouldn’t recognize her at first. But I think we succeeded in the end. The first few days, the little ones are always fragile.

Joseph Goebbels was a literal Nazi and one of Hitler's closest allies.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky
