Warbling

We can assume that Russia has the most incriminating Epstein material. And Iran is an important ally to Russia in its war on Ukraine. So, attacking Iran as a distraction from the Epstein scandal could backfire, in quite a nasty way, for Trump.

Urgh - those bottles are full of piss

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

The Democracy Manifest guy being manhandled into a red car by the cops. He's now Andy Windsor and one of the arresting officers is Paddington Bear, who always puts in a shift regardless of his day job as a Peruvian psychopomp.

"Why did you do this to me? For what reason? What is the charge? Trading secrets? Trading succulent state secrets?"

Warned about this briefly end of last year. Kinda worrying

Wait - did he actually touch and ruffle your hair or did he ask you to do it?

That's a... courageous move if he did. I did corporate photography and never would have touched anyone - just suggested poses.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

take a shot every time you hear the words "just glad the queen isn't here to see this"

Andrew will just have to sweat it out I guess.

we can do better

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, according to Thames Valley Police

Something about being able to do a Donald Duck voice makes middle aged men think that every child they meet is dying for it to be inflicted on them

Okay so this is true *but* not in the way most people think. Antibiotic overuse is not “I had five ear infections in a year so I took antibiotics five times this year”
It’s
“Farmers feeding antibiotics to chicken to make them fatter and more profitable” and “labs dumping chemicals into the river”

Husband would love a dog. Aside from all the good reasons why I don't, allergies, lack of time, expense etc, my main and true reason for saying no, is that he never changed any of our kids' nappies so I am never ever EVER going to pick up any dog shit.

Unruly youths mess about at the entrance to my gym. I tell them off, but I'll pick 1 & say "You should know better, I know your dad". It gets their attention. As I walk off I turn & say "he's not actually your real dad". Works a treat.

My daughter has special needs. Took her to church at Easter. The Vicar loudly proclaimed 'Hallelujah!' My daughter immediately shouted "It's raining men!" Brought the house down. Fesshole GOLD from 29th November 2020

Dear visitors: This is London. It’s not “the subway”, it’s The Underground or “the tube”.

Bloody hell. That's pretty entertaining. I may need to watch some more of their stuff.

That sounds like something an AI might say. 😂

Nigel Farage’s so-called shadow cabinet is like a Swiss Army knife. There’s a tool for every occasion.

Thinking about how much public perception of AI is probably downstream of the ridiculous beclownment of NFT just a couple years prior, by what culturally feels like the same gaggle of zero-value-add meme-surfing scamlords.

I think the Vogons walk amongst us. #poetry

do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

Apart from the firebombing, a true British eccentric.

Man who made firebomb threats demands court refers to him as 'Prince Trump' A man who made threats to firebomb probation office buildings in Suffolk told a Norwich court he should be referred to as Prince Trump.

Behind a paywall, but this is journalism gold:

“The 53-year-old, of no fixed abode, also told the court he wanted to be deported to America - where he claimed he comes from - after he was sentenced.

“It is understood the defendant was born in Devon.”
