If Liam Neeson is gonna narrate some quack documentary we should pay Jesse Plemons 30 billion dollars to read things for two hours like “the earth is clearly round” “you should eat a healthy diet of a variety of foods and not just wet beef” & “do not suntan your butthole, it does not need that”

🌟 Peace on Earth to everyone who truly understands what is important and lives out their lives acknowledging it. 🌟
![[descriptive text from article]
"The display includes traditional depictions of the magi, stable animals and other figures, but the banner above reads “Peace on Earth?” And propped up in the center of the arrangement, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus would normally appear, sits a sign that reads: “ICE was here.”
"The sign, in smaller font, notes that “the Holy Family is safe inside The Sanctuary of Our Church.” But it goes on to encourage viewers to call a local immigration justice hotline if they see ICE officers."
[sign:
ICE

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
