the kestrel bloke who got fire back from Wahn the crow when it was stolen, and later taught the first men to rub sticks together to make more fire for themselves. puts bushfires out.

yeah? need someone that will sit and listen while you vent your frustrations then, once you've run out of steam and sat down and gotten scared again, turn around and tell you about all of your strengths that they've just been shown? shouldn't be hard to find that person on this app :) <3

it could be a pic of that lady herself a few decades earlier, and the look on her face is that of mourning the loss of her youth?

No, it's not some science fiction still from a film. It's actually a sex doll factory.

Predictably, Dutts is calling for an urgent meeting of national security committee to crack down on, idk, African gangs probably. Itโ€™s not like Hamas are active here. But crisis = opportunity when youโ€™re a cop.

you guys are on time-out from asking me to watch things. this was too far. i need to watch an obscure arthouse film that moves me to tears or something with real creative purpose just to clear my mind. "katie can you watch-" no. no i can't. i can't watch anything.

there needs to be a jewish regime governing the city of jerusalem for events from the book of revelation to be able to happen. modern israel was set up by religious extremists as the trigger for the apocalypse and eventual rapture.

If you are adverse to sensitive content featuring violence be careful scrolling Twitter today. There are many photos & videos of killed soldiers & civilians being spread right now & will only increase in number over time. My thoughts go out to those in the region of Gaza/Israel to stay safe.

they might have claimed to be left leaning but really they were just selfish and intolerant of any perspective that disagreed with their own.

antivaxxers are not left-leaning. they never were. people who go against science as far as vaccines are concerned are almost always extremely self-centred and intolerant of anyone that disagrees with them, and they will happily advocate for "populations reduction" being necessary.

oh so you've been playing Zombie Army Trilogy as well, huh? the game's several years old and owned by a company run by utterly evil douchebros (same people are why there'll never be another judge dredd movie even after the success of the Keith Urban version) but the game absolutely kicks!

it's only compulsory if you're enrolled. i found this out in 2007 when i was in McEwan and Fran Bailey won by less than 30 votes over the greens candidate and there were 45 people i knew who weren't enrolled but still thought they were entitled to complain about bailey winning. none were fined.
