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.

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

Couldn't get to sleep last night because my brain decided it was of huge importance to write lyrics to the theme tune from Fawlty Towers so here it is…

The sheet music for Fawlty towers. Underneath it (in the correct places) is written:
Won’t you come and stay in our hotel, Where things they may not go so very well, 
As Basil…

The sheet music for Fawlty towers continues... Underneath it (in the correct places) is written:

While Sybil rolls her eyes
And Polly tries to help Manuel
