why £350 million? What’s she trying to do, rejoin the EU?
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).
possibly one of the greatest endorsements of our time!
Well the FCC has bullied the Colbert Show into not airing an interview with James Talarico (which they've put on YouTube) — I look forward to all of my former professors at Scalia Law condemning this massive intrusion on the First Amendment.

We’ve discovered how the superbug E. faecalis prevents chronic wounds from healing.
It’s not a toxin. It’s metabolism.

How have i not thought of this before! A meta-analysis of non-existent manuscripts (need new term for this, because they’re really not). The new gold standard in AI research, presumably 😂
