"People who know the former prince say that his main concern, after the Newsnight fiasco, was to ensure that his daughters would not be deposed and have to give evidence in support of his lies. (The Pizza Express in Woking will be for ever tattooed on their silent hearts.)"
oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

As someone who was raised listening to The Wolfe Tones, The Dubliners, and Christy Moore, I have some notes...
😅 It's genuinely never before occurred to me that other places don't experience Shit Season!
It is terrible and they only ever talk about it with regards to Democrats. The Republican will be like "let's murder children" and they'll be like "A BOLD STANCE" and then a Democrat takes a mainstream concept like "abolish ICE" and they're like "sorry, you can't be electable with that!"
I was a huge Anthony fan as a young teen (funny puns, yay! undeveloped critical thinking skills, boo!), and I read that book when it first came out.
I do NOT recommend.
I laughed so hard it felt like my lungs collapsed
A few skeets down is the Best Cameo Ever!!
As our kids leave for college, my spouse and I have been telling them to take the classes they find interesting and to choose the major they want to learn about: professional specialization is for graduate school.
I'm required as a public librarian to take conflict-of-interest training every other year. I have no influence over anything more significant than waiving the replacement fee for a lost item, and *I* can see the need for it.
The corruption & subsequent corrosion at the federal level is horrifying.
Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.
What really sucks is that I've sad time and again that I believe independent and legacy media can co-exist and it doesn't have to be adversarial—as long as there's mutual respect. In this case, there was not.
Could someone get Lindsay Graham under oath and make him testify about this??
Maine - If you don't want your next Senator to possibly be a Nazi, then I would encourage you to follow and support @andrealaflamme.bsky.social .Please give this a boost folks!
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME
Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day.
Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
I have phenomenal vision up until about 14" from my face, when everything becomes an increasingly hopeless blur. I often have to feel along a countertop or table to figure out where I put them down.
Tell me glasses are not a disability aid and I will laugh in the direction I think your face is in.
I don't even think the US has ever won a war lol if we won the civil war how come there's still confederates if we won wwi how come there was wwii if we won wwii how come there's still nazis
One of my doctors is probably somewhere around 6'8" (my eye level is about at his bicep), and it is *distracting* how tall he is
My husband? Blue eyes.
All 3 kids? Blue eyes.
Me? Brown eyes.
Punnet squares LIED to me!!
Meme of the absolutely colossal Ever Given ship grounded with a huge excavator that looks tiny working valiantly to try to dig it out, tiny scoop by tiny scoop. Text on the ship says “You are not obligated to complete the work”. Text lower down by the backhoe reads, “But neither are you free to desist from it.”
This Pirkei Avot quote helps me feel a little less like I have to solve everything (it’s literally been thousands of years of people feeling overwhelmed!) and it cracked me up when someone stuck it on the pics of the tiny backhoe trying to dig out the EverGiven ship when it got stuck.
These are the states where we are fighting DOJ's voter file lawsuits: AZ, CA, CT, CO, DC, DE, GA, HI, IL, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, PA, OK, OR, RI, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
Exactly this. Choices have consequences and sometimes those consequences are permanent. Apologizing (or "apologizing") does not mean they no longer apply, even *if* other people accept your apology.
Not a bug but a feature in this new war of choice. What Trump requires is a major terror attack on American soil prior to the midterm elections. Declared state of emergency. Disruptions in voting. Political dissent challenged and even prosecuted.
His war has primed the pump as intended.
Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:
1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.
2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.
Find your senators at reps.fyi
But he's a mediocre white man! Why won't you support his desire to fail upward into unearned power? 🙄
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
