I used to be a finance executive, but I’m alright now. Let compassion rule. Leverage any privilege you have to plant the seeds of change in the minds you meet. Risk relationships. Get uncomfortable. A poly-thumbed man who knows the taste of his feet.

“I WAS WRONG.”

There’s a handful of center-to-right pundits and writers for whom I had some grudging respect. Those who used some variation of those 3 words in the last 10 yrs have retained it.

The others, desperate for a way to acknowledge reality without being wrong, are embarrassing themselves.

The BBC now doing full-on propaganda for Trump.

Stop it people of Portland. Your dancers dressed in cartoon costumes are scaring the fuck out of the BBC.

I’m not the only one? Right.

How coincidental that I can’t search for Portland protest stuff.

My dearest Gertrude,

I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will.

We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled.

I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone

Send my best to the children

The departments responsible for these two activities are the same in the UK?

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

Satire is no longer a simply a mirror held up to society. It is a harbinger… nay, a pebble thrown in the ocean that leads to a tsunami of bullshit.

Historically, the Insurrection Act has only been used in response to genuine emergencies. Some experts believe that if President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act simply as a pretext for a military invasion and occupation of multiple blue cities, it would represent a possible violation of norms.

Look, I love abstract expressionism, impressionism, performance art, the whole thing. But this reminds me of a gallery opening we went to a long time ago because the CEO’s wife owned it.

Lady Espanya (bless her heart) faked a headache and we got the hell out of there.

This is what happens when you don’t feed your cat for… *looks at clock* … 47 minutes.

He’s going to play “stump the chef” by himself.
