I could sense it at the time and hated the format then, but now really despise how some podcasts have preserved this format and this style of humor

There are a few mediocre small parks within a short walk of Paddington where I have eaten quite a few ”waiting on the train” lunches β€” Talbot Square, Norfolk Square, or Suffolk Square.

Or you can do a 15 min walk to Hyde Park & there is a totally fine cafe right inside the park entrance

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad
Both the left and the right try to co-opt it, but the real story of American slavery doesn’t serve any one faction.

Sanitizing slavery has become a core objective of the reactionary right under Donald Trumpβ€”a malignant response to the progressive left’s oversimplification of American history for their own present-day ends.

In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

the fake conspiracies are a distraction from the real conspiracies... this is what I found again and again while researching Doppelganger.

And Bannon is doing it in overdrive these days.

Half of Russia's entire budget goes towards military spending: German Intelligence

The Kremlin spends much more on the military than they say, which is why deficits are soaring and the economy is collapsing as the war continues.

It's also why Russia is returning to the 1990s.πŸ“‰

Wow, this speech from Mayor of NY Zohran Mamdani πŸ‘πŸ’―

"I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her moments later were: I'm not mad at you"

"I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger"

"Let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion"

President Trump now says it was Attorney General Pam Bondi who insisted DNI Tulsi Gabbard attend the FBI raid in Georgia. Last night, he told NBC he didn't know why she was there. And Gabbard said in a letter to Congress that "the president specifically directed my observance of the execution of the Fulton County search warrant."

I want to reiterate that this shit is nuts. A federal invasion of state-run elections, an intelligence community invasion of federal law enforcement, a White House invasion of a criminal investigation, and a president’s insane treasonable sore loser obsession all rolled up and muddled together.
