Have you considered pretending that the Donald is actually a strategic genius whose brilliance and foresight is beyond the ken of mere mortals like your readers?

2001?

Do I know anyone in Istanbul who can do me a huge favour in the next few days? It relates to my mother.

This is gibberish just at the level of syntax.

I think its also quite an American approach. I dont think its wrong in the context, but it I do wonder if a British company would have taken the same approach had they made the choice.

Its also notable that integration means specifically integrating into the white British culture of the Regency, which is historically plausible but also... very much a choice that the show makes.

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people.

I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.

Vaguely wondering what the neighbours make of it as I grunt "oh, shut up!" at my phone's pilates app multiple times a week, for telling me I'm "doing great" at flailing my legs in the air with no coordination while my abdomen burns.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Given that May had to sack her mid flight for playing footsie behind the government's back with Israel...

Was he the one that kept advocating a time limit to the backstop?

a fine and private place

so thats what "point five past light speed" means

I’ve never seen this before—this glass ring from the 18th dynasty Saqqara feels so new. It’s in the grand Egyptian museum.

Not the whole answer but IMO Brexit convinced an enormous swathe of British political opinion including the entire right that the British public are secretly way more right wing than they appear or admit to pollsters

O you who are over the baked foods, O you who are concerned with the supplies of drink, the King is committed to Fetket the butler of Ra, for Ra himself has committed him to him, and Re commits to him who is over the catering for this year. (PTF)

Tech bro oligarch: The AI is... real... sentient.... it's feeling real feelings... we must do everything we can to protect it and give it rights
Also tech bro oligarch: Human females are basically cattle made to push out as many babies as possible, all of which I will neglect

Yes, which also worries me. The concept is already floating in the background.

*Stingray theme begins playing*

Restore the Shah and bring Iran into the Commonwealth lol. There are big questions to be asked about how this drooling weapons grade lunatic has acquired intellectual respectability and the ear of mainstream politicians.
