Every Christmas small stands pop up in my city to service the many additional Christmas shoppers. This one was roasting almonds and it smelled delicious.

Neville Chamberlain has been ridiculed since 1938 for coming back to the UK and waving his peace agreement with Hitler, as if anyone has ever been able to get a trustworthy deal with a psychopathic killer. But Chamberlain made the mistake of trusting Hitler only once. Trump has made that mistake throughout 2025. It has been 319 days since Trump would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. And Trump still thinks there is a deal to be made with the psychopathic killer in the Kremlin.

Freedom!!! 🙌🏻 A BIG congratulations to the women of The Faroe Islands, where the local parliament today adopted a new law granting women the right to abortion. Denmark legalized abortion in 1973, but because The Faroe Islands is an independent country in The Kingdom of Denmark, the quite conservative politicians managed to keep the abortion ban for another 52 years. In Denmark, only 19 percent believe religion is important in their daily lives. On The Faroe Islands, that number is 60 percent.
