I’m watching President Barack Obama @ Jesse Jacksons Memorial and man! Do I miss having a competent leader who was not a fucking moron….
Preach! That’s what leadership looks like…
Barack Obama right now. My God. What an amazing speaker, what a genuine statesman, what an inspiration, what a shame he's not the president.
Yep.
After crossing crocodile-infested water by elephant, I was chased by a rhino in Nepal and missed the flight home because the one road from the jungle to Kathmandu was blocked for hours by student protesters who set fire to a bunch of tyres.
Watched this last night. It was so moving, restoring Venus Xtravanganza's humanity after her horrific death. It was incredible to see how her brothers - proper macho Italian-Puerto Rican Jersey boys - came to accept their trans sister with such love and compassion.

Good!
As far as I'm concerned, it's literally just a place to buy an emergency bottle of water or a magazine if I forgot my book for a short haul flight!
It was impeccable timing and a master class in facial expressions that do enough without the need for excessive words in the script.
Oh my God, we're going to lose Sister Monica Joan in the garden, aren't we? Like Molly on A Country Practice... #IYKYK #callthemidwife
This is why I didn't usually double the recipe with biscuits. Hope all goes well today. I'm sure the biscuits will be delicious. x
Did you reply?
SO good!
Incredible talent.
Hey, does anyone know what's going on with Maduro and his wife or indeed what's going on in Venezuela? I've just looked it up because I genuinely had no idea.

If the UK media could please stop referring to Nigel Farage's band of goons as the "shadow cabinet", that would be great. They are not the shadow cabinet of His Majesty's Opposition. These people should be referred to as, for example, Richard Tice, Reform's business, trade and energy spokesperson.
Yep. Honestly, I don't even see the point in maintaining any class around him. I absolutely love that Michelle Obama said, "When they go low, we go high", and she is clearly a much classier woman than I'll ever be, but in this case, I really don't care how low the blow is.
Not actually true and a sign that you haven’t been here in at least 15 years, or possibly never.
I've just stumbled upon this Bruce Springsteen version of You Never Can Tell, which was the first dance at my wedding, and it's safe to say I'm obsessed... www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Ds...
They were definitely rattled by the end of the interview.
Yes, it definitely suggests they think they own us. NOPE!
Yep, and he'd definitely be aligned with said extremists on LGBTQ rights.
This makes me so glad I live in the UK. That said, this kind of bullfuckery that shows zero respect for women and their bodily autonomy sounds like a Danny Kruger wet dream - and that's one of many reasons why Reform should be nowhere near power.
I've clearly been watching too much news. I just spotted this book in Sainsbury's and I read it as "Kid Rock" and then my brain went to "Is JD Kirk related to JD Vance and Charlie Kirk?".
There appears to be some Tory money involved, from what I've been able to ascertain in between everything else I've been doing this morning. They do need to be asked some detailed questions about specifics. Instead, Reform has been using Sam Coates' report since last night to get their excuses in.
Actual scenes of Lindsay Hoyle losing his shit when she finally arrives at 4:59pm.
A good thread that backs up my "more than one thing can be true" stance on this by-election.
I was so glad when our old Dyson packed it in.
What Alex said.
When Democracy Volunteers spotted more than one person in a polling booth, which is against the law, did they speak up at the time? Alert the polling booth staff? Call the police?
More than one thing can be true. Too much can be read into the Denton & Gorton by-election by people across the political spectrum. The Greens' campaign resonated with a lot of people, plus solid candidate choice. Labour would've won in a canter with Burnham. They won't win by out-Reforming Reform.
