One of the Swift eggs has hatched! Look at the Swift on the nest from the left of the adult's body at about 40 seconds in. With patience you will see the tiny Swiflet!

It’s going to be quite a country, America.

Having been denied vaccines as a child you’ll be allowed a gun as a teen, just so you can shoot any remaining friends who have made it through measles and polio.
