I saw someone post this question: "What does your dog dream about?"
I'll be damned if I know: they never talk about their dreams.

Social Security is 90… and works.
On August 14, 1935 Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, creating a government pension system for the retired.

RFK Jr. cut half a billion dollars of funding from mRNA research on the false pretext that mRNA vaccines don't provide good protection against rhinoviruses.
But in reality, it's because he's an anti-vaxxer.
