why ask this guy if there's evidence and let him say 'well I see it and I know the concerns are real' when you already have the evidence that he's wrong and a liar

The veterinarian in Iran is being so adorably gentle with this grouchy cat.
He’s saying, “will you give me permission to listen to your heart?”
And then he jokingly curses the stethoscope after the cat rejects it.

I taught at a primary school where a 'key fact' the children had to learn was that in Ancient Egypt, people only lived to 35. How old was Rameses II when he died?
“Historically, no one lived past age 35”
"I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

There Were Still Old People When Life Expectancy Was 35.

This guy sounds like an 'independent' in the sense that the NSDAP no longer exists
Have a think about what this actually means, and what this government appears to believe “subversion” is.

Genuinely wretched human being - there are people in the Labour Party I dislike, but at least with Wes Streeting you know that he believes things, even if they are grim things. Worse yet is that we KNOW Starmer used to believe things. Now he's just a political slime mould, animated only by heat
2025: Keir Starmer suggests that pressure on housing and public services is because of migrants
2020: Keir Starmer, "Poor housing, poor public services are not the fault of the migrants, they're political failure"

I was exactly this age in thus year and am also a teacher and brother I have no idea why these people think ADD diagnoses get handed out like candy, and also the reason I'm left wing is not out of guilt or indoctrination, but because my fairly centrist-liberal parents taught me the value of empathy
I was 28 in 2016 and this is an insane characterization of what growing up as a white man in my cohort was like. Demonstrative of how out-of-touch the cultural right is with actual American life www.theredneckintellectual.com/p/right-wing...

About 150 years ago, it was the conventional belief in America that extreme wealth disparity would lead to the wealthy acting like Kings
In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff
Musk Kills Government Funding Deal, Demands Shutdown Until Trump Is Sworn In
Elon Musk went on a posting spree on X to block a congressional funding bill, saying the government should shut down until Trump becomes president.

It's extremely easy to dunk on everybody getting their subclass at level 3, but I kind of like some of the creative/worldbuilding possibilities. One of the fun things about DND is playing the game making impacts on your choices - you might go into a game with a particular build in mind
