Petition for all the armed forces to run by the person who thinks giant pandas are "militant" vegetarians.

1. Mr. Amin is right to be concerned about Mr. Johnson. To put it mildly.

2. And England had best go on failing at this tree-planting and maintenance project if they know what's good for petro-fascism.

8. Agreed. Call the sin what it is.

9. A very loud, non-sarcastic Hooray for New York State!

11. It's the MCU. I expect their computer tech to have progressed faster than in the real worlds.

12. Leveraging privilege in action there. Good.
