Everyone’s favourite cartoon character Alexei Sayle in Steamboat Fatty (1939).

I’ve never understood why, most of the time since it came back, they’ve insisted on showing it in spring and summer. It’s so autumny it should be served with cocoa and crumpets.

In order to properly celebrate Trump's legacy, the $1 coin will be worth 75¢.

The draft design of the coin, which was overseen by the Office of the U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach, features Trump’s profile on one side of the coin.

I'm skimming, but this paragraph stood out:

And there’s the issue of masks. This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking- up and has heard the same reasons advanced by the defendant Todd Lyons, Acting Director of ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
