Wow, that's surprising. Unfortunately I'm sure the real gluttons like ourselves, in the other half, more than compensate for the reductions.

Belfast needs an overdose prevention centre.

Lives are needlessly being lost. We need leadership from Stormont, especially the Health & Justice Ministers.

They want Blacks to be whitewashed. And eventually moved into a segregated cemetery.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Super damn cute! I hope this makes up for my dogs' butts earlier.
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

There it is.
The Senate just passed legislation to reopen the government. 60-40.

39 Democrats and Rand Paul opposed the measure.

Holy fuck, this photo.
Some one needs jail time for child abuse? We used to have laws against pepper spraying a baby?

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

This might be overstating things just a wee bit. I'm pretty sure they did not in fact *recreate* the birth of the universe in the lab, fiery or not. I'd maybe fiery whoever wrote that headline; the Pope would not approve.
