what people think the gay lifestyle is vs. what the gay lifestyle actually is
The New York Times has... changed.
Wearing a vibrator around your neck may not appeal to everyone. But people who love the idea tend to really love it. In addition to its use as an IYKYK accessory, it's quiet, powerful for its small size, easy to clean, and difficult to break. Read more: nyti.ms/3NtQlDk

One of the many constants throughout history is that dictators and would-be dictators give absurdly long speeches (because they are narcissists who love hearing themselves talk and nobody tells them no).

'Thanks to this deal, Mauritius could hand a base to CHINA!' - I mean, they could already, there are a load of other islands there. India has one. (China also has one that is convenient for the neighbourhood).

The thing which continues to be funny about the Chagos deal is the way some Conservatives talk about it as if Diego Garcia is located on the one, magical island that could potentially host a base, rather than the UK going, 'ok, that one' and leaving loads of other candidates in Mauritian hands.

Pretending leaving NATO is in any way moral just because the US has left is just disgusting. It's not 'taking care of ourselves' - it's just running for the exit and leaving vulnerable countries in the lurch.
EXC: Zack Polanski tells us Britain should consider closing US military bases, leave Nato and denuclearise, as he begins to flesh out the Greens’ foreign policy.
Also spells out to @pippacrerar.bsky.social and me his red lines in any coalition talks to come.

Thatcher wrote in her memoirs: “I was to have many disputes with President Mitterrand in later years. But I never forgot the debt we owed him for his personal support throughout the Falklands crisis.”
Defence Secretary John Nott: “In so many ways Mitterrand and the French were our greatest allies”.

Untrue, of course. UK got lots of support, and never asked for military intervention. But it's not the South Atlantic Treaty Org. At US insistence to avoid colonial wars, NATO only covers Europe, N. America, and the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer. e.g. Hawaii and Guam aren't covered, either.

👇 Agree with this. There’s a somewhat pernicious “we haven’t presented the British public with this trade-off in plain language but we are going to act as if we have and they have Decided To Be Irresolute”.
Think it would be easier than people think to get the public to accept real lower consumption if politicians were more forthright about the case for it. People did so for COVID. "Russia is invading eastern Europe and America is run by a mad king, we need an army" doesn't seem that hard a sell.
