The 80's were weird.

YouTube video by Ingo Schmit Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok (Long Video Version) 1984

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

Can't be too careful with your company

I can feel the Devil walking next to me

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.

Against your Final Solution

I am telling you it’s closer to 40 save the skeet. Based on the data from news outside of the U.S. and OSINT they are lying to us

No, withhold your vote again and you will be responsible for what you forced on all of us. Idiot. Muted.

Lots of great reasons to read, but as a writer, books can offer either Type 1 & Type 2 inspiration.
Type 1: wow! This is amazing. I will spend my life aspiring towards these artistic heights
Type 2: wow! This is rubbish. I can easily do better than this. Maybe being a writer *is* a realistic goal

When you're weary

Feeling small

When tears are in your eyes

I will dry them all

I'm on your side

Oh when times get rough

And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

This episode about AIDS was called "Killing All the Right People," and originally aired on October 5, 1987.

Context: Ronald Reagan was president, a president who appallingly overlooked the AIDS crisis because he and Nancy had more in common with Imogene Salinger than Julia Sugarbaker.

Meanwhile, here in Florida...

I don't think he was equating the two, or we'd have to also think that of Joseph Stalin and Gandhi. Obviously those two were not similar. It's just names that fit the bill, being cult of personality figures.

I'd say JFK was the closest the USA got to a cult of personality situation before Trump.

Yup, that about sums it up.

Shhhhhhhhh!!!

But yes. 🙃

Oh, also a moderate fan of that Scottish one. As a former theater kid I won't even type the name lol

I've always enjoyed the ideas behind his plays more than the plays themselves. Not his fault, just a matter of distance. A major exception is A Midsummer Night's Dream. 'Lord, what fools these mortals be!'

10 Things is excellent. Peak example of how to refresh a story w/o losing the main themes.

Vance's "war on fraud" is a fraud It'd be laughable if people weren't getting hurt.

"The truth is Vance’s 'war on fraud' is a phantom, a PR effort that will likely uncover no misdeeds that weren’t already known to actual fraud investigators. Vance’s pretend fight against fraud is the real fraud, and it’s just what we might expect from the most corrupt administration in history."

This war nobody wanted is costing us a billion dollars a day. That's *us*, the taxpayers. You. Me. Every Tom up the street and Jane down the lane. A billion dollars a day when we couldn't afford healthcare.
