First they came for my son, and I did not speak out
Because I was not my son
Then they came for my daughter, and I did not speak out
Because I was not my daughter
Then they came for my husband
And there was no one left
To make my sammiches

Ive worked on several drug launches and invariably all the more thoughtful pitches get shot down by senior management. Which is why the campaigns are always Shiny Happy People Beating Disease and Overcoming Adversity. Pharma marketing is incredibly risk averse and conservative

If this was anywhere else the woman would probably smile and thank you. But in Hyde Park I'll bet she looked at you like you had shit on your top lip

What i love about America is that despite all that tedious, murderous guff about gun rights, it turns out the best defence against Tyrrany(TM) is an inflatable frog costume.

Those should be protected under the 2nd amendment. Freedom ain't free, tadpoles.

For me, national and local radio in the 80s was almost universally crap. We used to listen to pirate stations (big up Heatwave Radio) instead.

Sunak in particular has always aspired to this. He's such a dweeb. The only person in the world that thinks having 500+ LinkedIn connections makes you cool

Someone better be monitoring Hegseth's signal chats for the timing of the simultaneous Norwegian and Venezuelan airstrikes

It was just a flippant reply that, despite the potential for chaos, the market indices keep smashing all time highs. So declaring martial law will probably be positive for the stock market (not really - it's just how I work through my existential ennui over creeping fascism and breakneck capitalism)

Cycled to work today, and passed another guy on a bike, riding freehanded, whilst texting, with both hands

Yeah when I worked for a company based in the outskirts of Boston we used to stay in a hotel with a strip of restaurants less than half a mile away. There was literally no way to get to them on foot. Had to take a 4 minute taxi ride. Anyway, lovely people, atrocious planning.

I need to update that picture with a bigger list.
