Polish kabanos are the king of all sausages.

Your sincerely held but, ultimately, laughably incorrect contradictory opinions on this subject are of no interest to me.

Quick update from me.

I've explored all the available options and I've decided, after much reflection, to be ANTI-facist.

Technically, we need both Hamas to be stupid AND for Netanyahu to be a psychopath.

So...

Yeah, what you said.

"Soros money" is the current era's way of saying "Jewish money" whilst covering up that you're a massive antisemite.

James Barišić 🇭🇷 @james.barisic.fr · 2d

What I don't get, right, is that, as someone who worked in politics for more years than I care to remember, I never saw an advert for the job of "professional protestor", nor was I ever offered use of any protestors, nor did I ever get my hands on any "Soros money". Odd.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

There's a lot to ponder here.

Oh, and there's also the "Guess which one wants to legalise incest" game.

No, seriously, one of themlp does. Stop being so woke, will you?!

I'm teaching my students content and social media this week. I just want to make it clear that I think that this post is utter dog shit.

Whatever the dog couldn't process ended up in its poo, and as the wet stuff dried out in the sun, the hard calcium stuck around. This led to crumbly, mummified turds all over the place (and people didn't pick up back then).

So, I've done a bit of research and I now know why dog poo used to be white.

Back in the 70s & 80s, dog food contained a lot of meat and bone meal, both of which are high in calcium. The bone meal was cheap filler.

I don't think enough people consider the artistic qualities of white dog poo.

God yeah. It was everywhere. That and paedophiles. Just a shame we never thought of a way of creating some kind of game that involved throwing one at the other.
