A Paul Voerhoven clip with an Irish voice over. Almost as insane as the concept of an Irish person in space (my absolute favourite comedy premise). "I *feel* we are made of stardust" is the most American thing ever. We are just a ridiculous species. Incredible.

Everyone should read this, especially for the bits in the article that give us some insight into what these detention prisons used by ICE are like. And no one, no one, should be traveling to the US if they can avoid it. No one. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
