I worked with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) in multiple countries to bring medical care to refugees and other populations at risk. There are a 100% committed, professional, non-political organization.

Netanyahu banning them from Gaza is an unspeakable outrage. People will die.

In an effort to deceive British pilots during World War II, the Nazis built an airfield, with structures, aircraft and vehicles all made of wood.

The RAF waited until they finished, and dropped a single bomb.

Made of wood.

At age 17, many many years before Agincoury, Henry V at the Battle of Shrewsbury, got an arrow in the face.

Six inches embedded in his skull. And he carried on fighting.

Doctors literally had to invent a new type of gripping pincer, and have it made by a blacksmith, to remove the arrow.
Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

I can never understand the long delay in USA at top level elected positions, between election and assumption of official role.

In the UK, anybody who wins an election takes command the very next day.
Mamdani will be sworn in at a New Year’s Day City Hall ceremony, with AOC introducing him—

“For the many New Yorkers who have long felt betrayed by a broken status quo, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embodies a new kind of politics that puts working people at the heart of it” —Mamdani

Apparently I'm a 1950s alcoholic private eye with two failed marriages, an old bullet wound and a limp.
I am a terrifying murderbot.

I see no reason why the media has to use such soft language.

He raped her. Republican 'Christian' MAGA icon Matt Gaetz is a Rapist.
