The Parker Duofold was one of the most significant pens of the โ€˜20s and represented a shift away from eyedropper-filled pens. Made of a material called "Permanite,โ€ it came in a bright orange-red color that was unique at the time. The pen was used by writers like Arthur Conan Doyle.

To no one's surprise, RFK Jr's weird job application which asks people if they like poetry, want to have sex or have ever had bizarre fantasies, was created by Jordan Peterson. Peterson, who Trudeau recently testified under oath is a paid propagandist for Putin, has left Canada and moved to the US.

During the Victorian era, it was a popular trend for wealthier families to have "petting zoos" (sort of) in their homes. These zoos often included exotic animals like monkeys, parrots, and even small deer.

What do I want for Christmas?

A mysterious manor in the Scottish countryside, a vast expanse of land, a library of vintage novels, a collection of the worldโ€™s rarest wines, an owl to deliver and retrieve my post, and my own personal pastry chef.

I'm really not that hard to shop for.

The Telegraph believes that Putin's regime may be closer to a Soviet-style collapse than we think.

Russia's economy is already overheated and could be destroyed if Saudi Arabia decides to flood the world with cheap crude oil.

Which major newspaper (physical) is the most pro-Ukraine? (Or not awful at least). I know Guardian has published some questionable stuff. NYT has a Russian guy running coverage (still?). Globe and Mail has gone crazy. National Post is lost. Times UK? #NAFO #SlavaUkraini
