The new Queen of the Ocean was so inspired by Ursula the Sea Witch, she could not wait to see what new ocean havoc she could wreck.

Inspired by Thatcher, Japan's PM-in-waiting Takaichi smashes glass ceiling

Sanae Takaichi came out top in a male-dominated race to lead Japan's ruling party on Saturday, putting her on course to emulate her hero, former British leader Margaret Thatcher, and become her country's first female prime minister.

It’s not about if jimmy kimmel is funny, or if his show is good. This is about what can you say on a medium that’s owned by very few people. We are not debating the quality of a show or a comedian. We are debating the first amendment rights for people to say anything.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

I’m not white so I will not be investigating any noises, basements, attics, cemeteries, and will be putting back any artifacts I find immediately. I leave in act 1 as the warning character. Because i already have intergenerational curses at home. Good night.

You're in a horror movie.

Do you survive?

If so, how?

It depends. I'm the planner so I could final girl it despite being a ho but if the killer is one of my own party, I'm too autistic to consider that people lie.

Markets will have plenty of time to panic before Donald Trump is in a position to really pull the levers at the Fed. But do not conclude that all must therefore be well
