Okay, I'll start. Waspinator was the best Transformer, period.

Um, no, that was clearly Perceptor. Like, he can turn into a microscope. Do you know how useful that is when Bruticus is blowin up stuff?

Biden was accused of sexually harassing a 14-year-old, saying she was “well-endowed”.

Biden wasn’t even at the dinner.

I don’t know what is worse. All these folks, like Nathan Robinson, smearing Biden or that they are doing it with such blatant lies they made no effort to thoroughly evaluate.

Please continue the discussion here.

So apparently the situation in China is getting worse for Africans. They are now being removed from their homes. And are being subjected to not being allowed in restaurants and mandatory quarantines and testing, unlike other Chinese citizens.

CNN is also reporting on this:

It’s interesting, because the Chinese were the same group who suffered under the Chinese Exclusion Act, Yellow Peril, and other anti-Chinese sentiments like Fu Manchu, yer here the Chinese are treating black people and Muslim people like crap. I suppose that just goes to show that any group can come off as hostile to others if the conditions and levels of power are in a certain way.

Sadly Asian honeybees are defenseless against the European ones. The European worker is almost the exact size and shape as the Asian drone, so it isn't stopped when it enters the other hive. Then it just waltzes in and stings the queen and the colony collapses.
