Can we please stop the "Trump is the most pro-life President ever" nonsense? Can we just be honest and say he's not going to put pro-lifers in prison and monitor them as terrorists and that's reason enough to vote for him over Kamala?

Orwell is out of copyright in the UK, but in copyright in the USA until 2044. But a good alternative is to read current newspapers.

"The Chosen" is still a rubbish series.

It is wrong to describe these as ruins. It is a fine example of #ReformationArchitecture, where H. Tudor Jr chose a minimalist design with an environmentally aware theme that excluded certain windows, wall, roof, monks etc. that would have only have got in the way.

These people hate us.

Can we do the same?

Vandalism motivated by spite.
