I'd wager that Green voters have a higher median salary than Reform supporters - a large fraction of whom don't have jobs because they're retired.

Him: "I think the antidepressants and therapy are working"

Her: "The romantasy has gone from our relationship."

That's the problem with modern society: too much septuagenarian-on-octagenerian violence.

I was in senior school when the Shah was overthrown.
Our History teacher came into the classroom and told us, "Pay attention to this, remember it. This is History happening right now, these are the sorts of events that will reverberate down the ages."
He wasn't wrong.

Thank you for reminding me that I've very probably got less than a quarter of my life left. Genuinely, I have stuff I should get on with.

And Laura Innes, she went on to direct on other great shows like House and The West Wing too.

I can't agree, BUT it would be very interesting to see someone tried for manslaughter because someone committed self-termination as a result of being conned out of their life savings by them.

SNL's Colin Jost on Iran: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it."

Nearly 300 years ago, we had the War of Jenkins' Ear.
Now we have the War of Trump's Mushroom.

Trump's inaugural speech, 13 months ago:
"We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end — and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into"
So by his own most important measure, he's failing.

There is no better way to shore up an under-pressure government than to attack their country. Except maybe to kill their leader.
As Obi-Wan said, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
Be careful what you wish for.

Do it while you have the chance.
Let me make clear, I'm not threatening her or anything. Or even saying she's old. Look, forget I mentioned it, okay?

It's incredibly tough for young adults these days. My daughter has depression and autistic/sensory issues, but looking at her friends, that seems to be par for the course.
Life seemed so much simpler and less terrifying 30 years ago. I wish your son and all who are struggling well.

Same. In my gap year ('80s) my Dad told me "when I started work and was living at home, I had to pay your Nan a third of my take-home for room & board", and I did the same.

Luckily, there has never been a serious dispute in the US regarding states' rights.

Clive Lewis nail-on-heads it.
Don't move back to the Corbyn left, as caught up in its own ideology as the right. Just look after people who need it.
Children.
The sick and disabled.
People who work as hard as their parents did, but can't afford the same quality of life.
And oppose tyranny.

Typical radical far-left nonsense!
That's not what Labour were elected to do. They're there to manage Britain's inevitable decline into knee-jerk nationalism under a media-owning oligarchy in a proper, orderly fashion.

And being "anti-Reform" by being Reform Lite is certainly not the answer.

The correct takeaway is surely that it's all up in the air, and nobody has the first clue what the fuck is going to happen in May or at the next GE.
Interesting times, and all that.

Hot take: he should spell his surname Jenryck to sound even more like the proprietor of a Dickensian workhouse (a calling to which he would have been well-suited).

I can't articulate exactly why, I have no evidence, but I'm recording here - to quote later if circumstances allow - that despite being all in favour of the Greens, I can't get past the feeling that Zack Polanski is a wrong 'un.
