The free movement of people is a human right!

Note that capital is free to go whatever it wants to.

Actually I think they had a kind of committee to decide what was “scripture” and what wasn’t.

Fuck Nazis!

Yellow powder, everywhere…

God, I hate Paul. He seems to be the source of most of the shitty things in Christianity.

Who is Mike Pineapple?

Have to be honest, the shock is working on me.

There’s Frendica

Just watched Nothing Lasts Forever, from a FullMoviesOnYouTube link of Lemmy.
