Can we take the Mountbatten-Windsor as read and just call him Andrew? It'll save time and everyone will know who you mean.

Dear god, does he think he looks good here? Or tough, or domineering?
He looks like the old and dying codger he is.

Round here plumbers are in high demand. They wouldn't have time, the need, or the desire to go fill veg boxes for anyone. Why is Planet Ambridge so different? #thearchers

There’s a rather spiteful side to Hannah. I hope Ruairi proves her wrong and succeeds at Berrow with pigs. #TheArchers

Why do I still feel miffed that the voice of #TheArchers listeners is Emma Freud, although she's only been listening for five years? It's as if we need a 'grown up' to represent us.

Perhaps I'm now hooked on high drama, but tonight's episode seemed a strong contender for most boring #TheArchers episode ever. I drifted off during the bit at the start about Tony's seeds and had to remind myself to listen.

Mamdani Ramps Up NYC Immigrant Protections Against Trump Crackdown
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order strengthening protections for immigrants against federal enforcement, bolstering the city’s existing sanctuary policies with a series of new restrictions.  The order prohibits federal agents from using city parking lots and garages as staging areas or operations bases unless they have a judicial warrant. It also establishes an interagency committee to coordinate citywide crisis response and prohibits sharing New Yorkers’ private data with US immigration authorities without legal justification.  “Day after day, we bear witness to cruelty that staggers the conscience,” Mamdani said Friday at an interfaith breakfast at the New York Public Library.

Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs.

Many of us figured this out on our own:

"Every accusation is a confession" with Trump, and MAGA as a whole has adopted this very technique.

Trump DOJ says no more Epstein files to be released???? This shouldn't be such the surprise because this maniac knows no laws and wants it all to just "go away". It's not going away. We're just getting started! We demand justice!

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Trump's increasingly frequent talk of ongoing fraud in elections, months before mid-term, is a sure sign that he expects his party to do very badly.
Stay awake America, don't let him cheat you .. he is the only one that has attempted election fraud.
