Guess who has injured eardrums? (Medical term is 'ruptured' but I think that's a bit extreme in this case) :')

I'm so cynical about that two-headed calf.
it's 2 weeks old and still can't stand. yesterday's update was "here is a video of her holding her head up", with a claim that it is growing in strength - but in the video, it very much looks like the heads are being propped up by a bag of woodchips.
calves should be standing within 2 hours of birth. by the third day, they should be mobile enough that they're hard to catch. by adulthood, they weigh over a thousand pounds.
there's also a religious angle to this. many of the farm's posts have been intensely christian, the farm has described the calf as 'a miracle from God', and nearly all the comments are people offering prayers. meaning.....they might not be making the most objective decisions regarding this animal's welfare.
I'm in a livestock Facebook group and two-headed calves aren't as rare as you'd think. mostly, they're born dead, or die shortly after birth. this isn't a deformity that is compatible with life, and I just can't see any outcome where this calf starts thriving.

I was hit by a truck going 50km/h in front of an elementary school. The Wii bowling announcer voice announced it was a strike and the witnesses cheered and applauded the truck driver.

Brief image description: a small Palestinian child is sleeping atop a hospital bed -where they have what appears to be a breathing tube up their nose -the long tube is connected to a machine that provides oxygen beside them. The caption in front of this image states: The Palestinian Prisoners' Club: "Israeli occupation forces has arrested a Palestinian girl from Gaza residing in the occupied West Bank for cancer treatment." [source: telegram-QudsNen]
A little girl undergoing CANCER treatment was arrested... no matter how many times I re-read this statement, it gets even more vile. This is beyond heinous.
