The whole "natural birth natural life no medicine" crowd is actually more unfathomable to me than even nazis, like I understand what drives a nazi, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process that argues that the best plan is to embrace the methods that historically led to a lifespan of 27 yrs

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Sign at the White House says "The Presidential Walk of Fame." The "T" and "h" in the first letter are slightly off in spacing when compared to the "h" and "e."
crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

Our Granddad is 100 and fought in D-day
and he thinks Farage is the right man to
sort Britain out. He says he reminds him
of one of the commanders he fought
alongside with distinction. In the next
few weeks he's going to auction off his
medals and donate all the money to
Reform. Anyone know how much an Iron Cross is worth?
Absolute perfection. #Reform

We're spending billions to house asylum seekers like animals in rancid hotels
We are not merely spending a fortune on housing asylum seekers. We are spending it on making them live like animals
"Others still report the rationing of sanitary products and toilet paper β a single roll was supposed to last four people a week β or spending entire days in their underwear while they waited for their only outfit to be washed."

PRESENTER:
Nigel, whatβs your view?Β
FARAGE:
Well I think this very worrying.
5

And just another reason why we should ban all immigration.

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"
