SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

"today there has been a recurring theme, and that theme....is the police" is something I just heard on the news, who talks like that? (You get one guess)

In Cardiff I have three rooms. Constantly misplacing stuff. At my parents' there are like ten, with the added variability of anything not nailed down WILL be moved by one of them at some point, and then they'll forget where they put it

Right. Cannot imagine that happening in the UK tbh let alone London

In other places yes but not in NYC, I can't remember if it's a state thing or a city thing but there are signs saying you can't turn on red.

I'll never forget the first fortnight in Brooklyn where I saw a car turn into a junction on a red. A woman on the other side of the road started yelling at the driver and hitting the car with her umbrella. As people passed, they kicked or hit the car. My city ❤️

Had to stop my inner New Yorker coming out yesterday when I almost yelled at a car while crossing the road. The kind of thing they section you for in London but in NY people might clap or join in

Yeah that's what I mean!! It's actually kinda dangerous because it bongs at me and I instinctively start slowing down thinking I'm speeding!!

Oh my god Adam

I think it's because the roadworks were there so long - when it would have definitely been 50mph because I remember driving it pre-NY - that someone or the software or something thinks it's permanent

No what I mean is my car mistakenly thinks it's 50mph and it freaks me out every time but it's not? It's 70

Nah I mean the bits of the M4 that have speed cameras. It's fine except my car seems to think it's still 50mph and bongs at me really loudly. I gotta figure out who to complain to - or how to fix it

What exactly is "smart" about them?

It's 11pm

I'm in bed thinking about smart motorways

We are not the same

I'm struggling with this information

Did you know that burrata is basically a cream dumpling of mozzarella?

I thought it was an entirely different cheese?

Could you imagine the ONS every year or so just shutting down the entire website due to a "lapse of funding"?

Yeah that's what I mean. Rich people avoid tax? Feels like something I already knew

The Panama Papers was really weird because it's all I heard journalists talk about for a while but I never heard ordinary people mention them, it was a tremendous amount of work but it didn't cut through

Probably because it wasn't really revelatory? - a cynical person would fully expect that

Like for many, many years I just thought their job was to kidnap and tie people up.

Still from Day of the Tentacle. Dr Fred is tied up on the bed, the mummy is lying on the floor, the IRS agent is standing at the door and Bernard is behind some boxes

If you want to know how things stick with you from childhood, every time I think of the IRS I remember this whole subplot

I want everyone who has spent years in therapy wondering what is wrong with them, wondering why they had so many bad relationships, why they felt so much dread, to know that it was in part because you were living in a world run by evil, evil people and you could tell that somewhere deep down

We also get on well TBF but it is difficult sometimes.. My mum loves having me here and hates the idea of me going back to the US. 😆

38 this year and had to bounce home a couple of years ago. Shit happens, and it's not ideal for any of us tbh. Even though I have my own flat I can't live there full time. Annoying.

No Other Choice was good but about 45 mins too long?

My big task for today was to file my US taxes, can't do it because the whole thing is so unfathomably complicated.

That $150 check that NY State sent to my address in London? Taxable. Damned if I know how to declare it on my federal taxes.

I reckon I talk to myself a lot but I don't always realise, and I noticed it after the pandemic (you know, spent months literally not seeing another soul, bought plants for company) and idk if I always was like this or it got worse?

I think it would be so revelatory having a camera in my car because I literally just realised that I had actually said this out loud:
What are you doing?.... What are you ...are you going? What are you do-oh, you're going there, would've helped if you'd indicated but yeah thanks have a nice day
