Not only that, he specifically referenced that God promised the land to the Israelites in the Bible, which was why it was okay that these people had their relatives murdered in various refugee camps.

Didn't she also say in an interview that she doesn't actually like Chimpanzees all that much anymore, because they act quite like humans and have these complicated social interactions, all of which are difficult to follow and keep track of, so instead her favourite animal is her cat (might be dog, can't remember).

IIRC that was Jeremy Clarkson's idea for traffic control instead of speed cameras

To defend the redditors slightly (eww), J.D. Vance first made his name as a resistance lib who seemed like their perfect idea of a "moderate" republican. He was shitting on poor people in kentucky with his Hillbilly Elegy book / movie and I sort of remember him being on American TV and talking about how the people of appalachia had failed to adapt to the post-industrial world and instead turned to drugs, which was fucking catnip to liberals back in 2017. His turn came when he ran for senate in Ohio and had to beg and plead with Trump for an endorsement, before he ultimately won the republican primary and then the senatorial election.

Genuinely the most cringe person currently alive. It would be funny if he wasn't currently in Government and actively trying to kill every person in the US whom I actually like.

It's pretty funny that the day isn't an official public holiday in Denmark, because May day is kind of celebrated here, but it's mostly just various useless liberals making speeches in a big park in Copenhagen and in Aarhus, while every student in either city is busy getting drunk off their ass. Most "adults" just work like it's a normal day, but a couple of big unions also like to protest the useless liberals (SocDems and their associates) right before they fall back in line and support the SocDems unequivocally.

I live within walking distance of my job (litterally 200 meters, so takes me almost as long to walk to the building as it takes me to walk to my chair from the entrance) and I've still had to talk to my boss about management's idiotic decision to start clamping down on WFH, despite my department suffering massively from people quitting (down like 4 people this year, and total headcount is now less than 20, closer to 15)
