Just showing off. Younger people will not know how very famous this became during the World Cup. I think. Could have been Olympics, not sure. Anyway. Itโ€™s Italian opera. In English, None Shall Sleep.
I think.

Apologies to the original poster here. The image is absolutely spot on and needs reposting.

Release the Epstein Files.

Great to see dear Maslowโ€™s hierarchy of needs still relevant. I studied this in my sociology degree many moons ago (shh 50 years but donโ€™t tell anyone.)
It simply states what a human person needs to grow in self confidence and respect. Shame we canโ€™t all reach the self-actualisation.

Most people are of the opinion that not only should the billionaires not be running things, there shouldn't be billionaires.

With greath wealth comes great poverty.

It's time to get rid of poverty.

I watched that. I agree itโ€™s infuriating mainly because the film tells us nothing about the disturbed neighbour. She obviously has mental health problems which should have been addressed well before she turned to murder. Iโ€™m not excusing her actions, I felt she should have been helped to begin with.

Dear Will, my response was made with the lightest of hearts. Also not to be taken seriously. And indeed because it was humorous was the reason I felt youโ€™d be a nice person to know. Not enough humour or love in the world.

Surely heโ€™s reached the lowest depths in crudity and vulgarity. The disrespect he shows for people knows no bounds. The man is seriously unhinged. His tastelessness arises from his very damaged psyche.

Didnโ€™t that serial killer Portman meet his victims on Grindr done very careful. Glad Iโ€™m too old to date. I wouldnโ€™t have been able to cope with all the rejections. Back in the day we met our partners in the work, hobby and leisure spaces. Seems all those spaces have been digitalised to extinction.

Prince Andrew has surrendered his Royal titles and honours. But still professes his innocence.

Not very friendly for someone who would love to get to know you.

Yes they both have extremely scorched complexions and splintered, smoky voices.

Damn! Every clip from last nightโ€™s debate is Mamdani wiping the floor with Cuomo.

Yes, I think sheโ€™s the journalist in question. Do you read Private Eye? It has a piece on this lady and her relationship with Maxwell.

Think it was leaked by a journalist friend of Ms Maxwell, Epstein girlfriend. Goes by name of Barack?

Mind your English. Double negatives as in โ€˜ I donโ€™t doubt for a second that Charles wasnโ€™t briefedโ€™. Iโ€™m struggling here, do you think he was or wasnโ€™t briefed?

Iโ€™m sure heโ€™ll be delighted to know that. What band is he in? Is he the lead
singer or the drummer? Time I acquainted myself with this Mozart.

How many Trump supporters does it take to change a light bulb?
None. Trump just says he fixed it and they all stand around cheering in the dark.

If he tells them that theyโ€™ll be okay, to just wait & watchโ€ฆ..they will believe him.
