Will Andrew be stripped of his Royal titles in a televised ceremony?

Sheer insanity that Trump is president.

MP for Midwich

By "go around" is it possible he means "violate"?

In interview, John Cleese said after day one of rehearsing Fawlty Towers, he and Connie Booth were worried. "We didn't think she'd do it like that."

But after day two, they were saying to each other. "No! We were wrong. The way she's doing it is SO much better than what we had thought of."

Nauseating. The epitome of the high-speed normalization of the extreme right in the UK.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

They are looking for something or they are monitoring something.

Ah, yes. Reform UK. "A movement built by real people." All smiling and clasping their hands in EXACTLY the same way.

I am sure he will try but he'll be 83 and at the current rate of decomposition his brain will be mashed swede.

"We don't want to forget, we want to remember."

25 years from the end of the LGBT+ ban in the military, a monument to their courage is being unveiled. It could not have arrived at a more relevant moment. Everywhere we look today, we can see that progress can be undone all too easily. ~AA

I think fame is a personality dysfunction in both the famous person and the audience.

Translation: I am affecting not to care but I followed the coverage obsessively. I am very, very upset about the large crowd sizes. I am a fragile, stunted, monstrous little baby. Everyone must be punished for the fact that Daddy didn't love me.

I understand. But it's more an expression of something I've been feeling for about 18 months.

"considers"

Get on with it for god's sake.

I commend this motion to the fucking house.

It was very interesting listening to Ruby. It made me realise how infrequently we get to hear the views of people her age on podcasts like these. I would like to hear more.

Would willingly pay considerable to sum any reporter who asked Mike Johnson

"Which, if any, news items from the last 24 hours are you aware of?"

Would not be unreasonable for reporters to preface all enquiries with "are there any news items you're aware of that we can ask you a question about and if so which?"

Is he standing in a hole?

Updating my LEGO White House

Think different.
Demolish the East Wing.

Try to imagine for a moment if this was happening to a historic building in France how the French would react but brain refuses to function.
