It's beautiful! Have you ever been to Museo del Traje in Madrid? They have a collection that is magnificent.

It's the boobs, you see. If you have them, you're dumb as a rock. That's science. I've had doctors correct my name, because clearly I'm too dumb to know it, and also to correct my nationality. πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

What is the meaning of life? 15 possible answers – from a palliative care doctor, a Holocaust survivor, a jail inmate and more I asked some well-known names for their thoughts on the ultimate existential question. Their answers were fascinating, funny – and could help us frame our days on Earth

James Bailey's q was interpreted as "What is my #legacy" and "What do my actions mean." I'm an #existentialist, so I think #life has no #meaning except for the one we give it. Mine is connection: friends, family, clients, the cats, and more :-) What's your take? www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

So tempting to throw it all up in the air and break it apart, right? But with revolutions, the wrong people usually win. I can't think of a single soul I'd vote for either :-(

All these cases coming out and there are more we never hear of. There is something very wrong with so many people having complete contempt for life, society, and ordinary rules of living. It's corruption and it's frightening.

Failure doesn't matter to that type, does it? They can do as they please and for huge salaries. Corruption.

They lost mine when the greens decided that women should not have access to cesareans. They recanted, but anyone who thinks it's better for women to die in childbirth than get help don't get my vote. There's no diff between Greens, Tories, Reform and Labour. None care about us

Because he talks whereas other politicians are pure spin. It's fake, insulting and so it makes Farage seem authentic. Also, people want to believe solutions are simple

When I did my husband’s spouse visa (married 25+ years) the visa people treated us like crooks. And it costs ridiculous money. I now advocate you cheat and pay a trafficker because you're punished for following the rules
