Inflammation of the brain seems to have lessened, and I can think straight again for the first time in several weeks. Honestly, the fact that I can get anything done at all during periods like this astonishes me.

Spare a moment for all those Fox hosts who suddenly have to learn about Iran, and also pretend they always cared.

I've attended two men's mental health groups in my town, and come away from both much, much worse physically and mentally.
Evidently, this form of therapy just isn't one that suits me.

Now would be the perfect time for Huw Edwards to reinstate Huw Edwards and make him their Man on the Ground in Iran.

Weird how often Linehan thinks this is a winning argument. "I made Graham Norton famous! Where does he get off having opinions of his own?"

BBC news just said Andrew was held in a custardy cell. What the hell went on in there that it got covered in custard? Probably a mere trifle.

I know Buckingham Palace weren't supposed to know that Andrew was going to be arrested, but it's tough not to imagine Charles telling a Scotland Yard official "If you could possibly leave it til' Thursday morning, just give me enough time to text 'Happy birthday, your present is at the front door.'"

Since they're both part of the same grift, I think it's inevitable, as soon as she leaves Richard Branson's island (where he has said she definitely isn't hiding out).

Long Covid is still here. I know – my life came to a stop because of it With more than 200 possible symptoms, long Covid isn’t easy to treat and diagnose. Rolled-back federal funding has led longhaulers to ask: is this all in my head?

I have never felt well enough to ask if this was all in my head. There is never a day when I don't wake up feeling terrible. It's the days when I wake up feeling terrible and realise that I will feel this way for the rest of my life, however long that may be, that are the tough ones.

No, he hasn't been arrested over allegations of rape, but he's been arrested over what's in the Epstein files. He was one of the most famous people in the country, now he's in custody.
People in America must be seeing this and thinking: Where are our consequences?

The presence of the word "gregarious" in Trump's tribute to Jesse Jackson is proof that he didn't write it.
