A newspaper ad, all text, bounded by a fancy chain-like border:
Good Food Well 
Prepared
is the only kind we serve
You Will Find THIS RESTAURANT not
"Another place to eat" but
"A place to eat another."

Unintentional humor from early morning historical research. This is from the St. Paul Journal, May 1946 (St. Paul, Alberta)

Every one of these ****s consciously chose to move to a society that runs on slave-labour.

Some of them will claim to be oblivious to that.

That makes them wicked AND stupid.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic.

France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to โ€advanceโ€ that deterrent to other European countries.

Supreme Court sides with Christian parents in battle over school trans policies At issue is a California law prohibiting school policies that require employees to report studentsโ€™ sexual orientation and gender identity to parents.

Don't call them "Christian parents," #BrokenPost. At least call them anti-trans parents.

Dublinโ€™s a great city for cycling. Fairly flat, fairly compact, fairly dry (though it might not seem like that now). The only problem is that the bike lane network doesnโ€™t reach everywhere. Delighted to see that with improvements in the network that more people are out on their bikes!

Night. Roadworks on Pelikaanstraat, next to Antwerpen Centraal station, almost completely blocking the pavement and two pedestrian crossings. An orange sign, laughably, indicates that pedestrians should cross the road. But where? How? With luck they won't get run over by feckless drivers whose view is obscured by a mess of barriers, heaps of earth etc.

#FuckYouVoetgangers An occasional series illustrating the city of Antwerp's contempt for its pedestrians, repeatedly sent by roadworks into traffic or bike lanes or expected to tramp miles out of their way, through mud & rubble, for the sin of just wanting to walk along the pavement.

France's nuclear deterrence takes major step toward Europe During Monday's speech at the Ile Longue naval base, Emmanuel Macron stressed cooperation with France's allies across Europe, unveiled a new doctrine of 'advanced deterrence' and announced an increase in the number of France's nuclear warheads.

david harris, 10th may 2019, five stars:

This was really yummy and simple. Instead of pork I used lamb, and in place of the onions I used a few leeks. My kids don't like paprika so I used oven chips instead, and as I'm watching my weight I substituted the crรจme fraรฎche with low fat sausages.

Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender womanโ€™s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying
