a man and a woman are standing next to each other in a park . the woman is wearing a hat . Alt: A Victorian-era man and a woman are standing next to each other in a park. The woman is wearing a hat. She takes his hand.

Watching "The Nevers" - quite good, even though it's Whedon-originated. Very rarely have I seen female cast members this front and centre in sci-fi.

This whole UN Board of Peace nonsense is literally the world giving a time out to a toddler in the corner.

For #RobertLouisStevensonDay (I'm running late I grant you) I give you D E Stevenson, 2nd cousin of RLS whose father disapproved of her writing so she did so in the attic of their Edinburgh house. She sold 7 million copies of her 40 novels. Yes, more than RLS. Gaun Dorothy. Where are the Women tho?

Honestly, quite the piece of history about to be written.

A president signing a law to release files that contain proof he himself abused young women (plus, plus, plus...)

I'm waiting for the Mother of all Hurricanes to hit the Caribbean. You know, where all the US Navy ships are now?

Because then I will believe in God.

That, and the fact that Zelenskyy told him Ukraine couldn't hold elections becuase they were at war. And in his puny brain, he thought, "That could work for me too..."

Can you imagine if Biden or Obama had done this?

The OUTRAGE!

Sad that this is just what the Americans expect of their president now. Shrug.

Love to see this. But am sure there will be some of my kinsmen over there who will try and take in the stray moggy...

I so agree. If 2027 brings more of the same, I'm off to the Columbia Valley...

Partially true. My part was more like "nobody has ever looked at this stuff before so I better analyze it and make sure these more vulnerable groups (ie. women, traders, peasants, etc) appear in the historical record." That's more "The Great Man" theory of history.

To be fair, our PM's house is a closed up, dilipidated building...but we are spending billins on a reno of Parliament, so ya, the People's House takes precedence.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.
