In a world of pain, there's always time for a little laughter...

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Andrew Tate has seemingly been taken into custody by Saudi Police for going all "Top G" on the Saudi border.
Hope he packed a spare mankini because they're not exactly famed for their liberal approach to that sort of thing.
