Very important, this
Santa has reminded all the children in Ireland to post their letters as soon as possible so that he has time to reply.

In his very own letter, Santa said his friends in An Post are helping him to reply to as many children’s letters as possible.

Weird to realize that based on the current Controversy, Argentina really is run by ex-Nazis and the leftists who love them

I am in desperate need of sci-fi, fantasy, and/or horror that feature transfem main characters. Especially if there are audiobook formats available. Please give me recommendations, and please repost to get more people giving me suggestions.

I guess the third question is, is Trump capable of doing anything, anything at all, at this point? Because I think the answer is no
a thing to ask yourself re: the GOP's electoral position is what could happen over the next year that could *improve* its position? and what could trump do, plausibly, that might *boost* his numbers with the public?

Not the point but I jumped when I saw the photo. She's giving Weapons vibes
As a (former) r/neoliberal poster from the days it was a badeconomics spinoff, I have to say the obsequiousness of billionaires during Trump 2.0 makes a damn good case for a wealth tax

Two children died in Buffalo over the weekend, in a fire caused by a space heater.

You know who doesn't die in fires caused by space heaters?

Rich people.

There is public assistance for heating, but not everyone can get it, and the right still wants to eliminate the benefit.
