Things seem pretty horrible so let’s just enjoy another trip into Soviet City 40. Welcome to the age of reversed-menopause. If you want to stop accidents maybe try unleashing cougars on the road? I guess? tldr: Australians hate clapping. The…

But, like, can anyone ever REALLY know a great white shark? From there to here: the first ever republican nominee was a rich mutineer. Here’s your illustrated 19th Century Encyclopaedia of Tibet for the day. Here’s your European swing-based installation…
