The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

The amount of museum websites written by AI these days is really concerning. Just found one from a children's museum in the States riddled with incorrect information-- and we can't even blame it on the Victorians this time.

The incredible ‘Orkney Hood’ from Scotland! 🏴
So well preserved it looks like it was woven yesterday rather than some 1,500 years ago!
It’s thought the hood was made for a child. Found in 1867 in a peat bog in St Andrews Parish, Orkney.
