Larry the cat celebrates 15 years as the British government’s official rodent-catcher and unofficial first feline, a reassuring presence who has served under six prime ministers. Sometimes it seems like they have served under him.

US Troops killed all the guards at Dachau for this kind of shit.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Apparently I should’ve bought a team USA jersey before the Olympics because all that I’m finding, on multiple websites, are small and medium sizes.

The idea of humans on Mars is incredible, but won’t happen in our lifetime. Once you read what’s required and what those persons would experience, on a successful mission, nah, ain’t happening.
