Crazy, it’s like some dumb fucking asshole repealed a whole bunch of consumer safety laws and statutes, and then SUDDENLY companies started NOT DOING THOSE THINGS because they weren’t forced to, and shit became UN-FUCKING-SAFE.

🦀Crawling your way is a critter so large that Charles Darwin once described it as growing to “a monstrous size!” Enter the world’s largest terrestrial invertebrate: the coconut crab (Birgus latro).
🥥This bulky crustacean can span up to 3 feet (1 meter) long from leg tip to leg tip and weigh up to 8 pounds (4 kilograms). A member of the hermit crab family, the coconut crab inhabits coasts off of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, where it uses its powerful claws to crack open and feast on coconuts. Just how strong is its pinching power? Scientists have compared it to a lion’s bite force!

Recent news of people overrunning the presidential palace in Sri Lanka, followed by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fleeing the country, took Western media by storm. What is not reported is the ongoing police repression by the current president, Ranil Wickremesinghe.
His latest attack took place on a peaceful protest Aug. 18 that was organized by the Inter-University Students Federation (IUSF) in Colombo, along with other progressive forces and artists. Witnesses say they were attacked unprovoked, and individuals were chased, beaten and arrested. Some of them were kidnapped by unidentified militia and held for hours in undisclosed locations.

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
