The Satanic Temple has launched a nationwide food drive (called the Devil's Pantry) to help those affected by the loss of SNAP benefits and rising good costs.
Okay ... so now we live in a world where Satanists are more Christ-like than Christians?!
Someone tell me how we ended up in Bizarro World!!

And we had so much of the technical IP from the Uni of NSW that could get no funding in Oz for it to be developed here. No prizes for guessing where it went, all you ‘free markets know best how to utilise capital’ people…
