This is what it's come to? This is what the rest of the world is supposed to deal with? This man? This walking insult to every sentient being on the planet? And every day the US continues to foist this malignant stupid prick on the rest of us is another day they'll have to beg forgiveness for
Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."

Gang: My brother's scooter - literally his only means of independence - batteries died today. He can't get out of his car without it and would be well and truly stuck. If anyone can see their way clear to helping out or sharing this, so he can be out and about this Christmas.
Thank you deeply.

So my scooter batteries died at the #Everton match vs #NottinghamForest today. This is my mobility and lifeline and as it's Christmas this is an unexpected expense we can't afford. Any help a donation or a share is much appreciated.

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.
Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

I'm pretty sure this is an actual human rights violation
I was once told (have not confirmed) that the gift shop in a museum devoted to Van Gogh in Amsterdam has "Vincent" by Don Maclean playing *constantly*
I was once in a KFC in Zhuhai and they played a recording of a small child singing "Happy Birthday To You" (in Chinese) on repeat for at least half an hour, that's how long it took before I could not bear it any more, it may have been on all day.
