On this day: 1781 saw the hanging at Saint Michael’s Hill in Bristol of Benjamin Loveday and John Burke — "for the detestable Crime of Sodomy; they were both capitally convicted on the clearest Evidence, which is shocking to Human Nature to describe".

1) It's 'Adam', actually. 2) Intelligence is what informs us that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor rather than the monster. 3) Wisdom informs us that Frankenstein is indeed the monster.

Russia accomplished something over the years. They got the world to watch them kill Ukrainians, grow indifferent, and eventually become comfortable with it.

I haven't taken a decent photo with my phone since I decided to change the settings on the camera app. I don't know what I did but I had to wait for a 3 second countdown before it 'clicked'. Nobody wants to live like that. Default settings (and sanity) restored.

It's a BALL Mister President, a ball people play games with. Yes, young people. Boys? Oh yes. And girls? Why, of course. It's a long, energetic game so they have to be young and healthy. And fit? Yes. The boys and girls have to be very fit.

ZELENSKYY: Russia refuses to end the war, if Putin wants to sacrifice another million of his soldiers to keep smashing against this wall, then a million Russians, who not yet been mobilized into Russian army and are arguing in gas lines, should think about what awaits them next.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that The Straits of Hormuz is an international waterway and that no country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. In fact it isn't. He's lying again. They are a national territory shared between Oman, the UAE and Iran.

Norway's football team is called 'Landslaget' or 'Drillos'. They are not called the Vikings. Stop it. Also, while we're all here, it isn't 'Eye-ran' it's Iran. Similarly with 'Eyerak'. Iraq. Pack it in youse idiots.
