Wasn’t Richard starved to death; does that count as hurt?
This week in 1399 Richard II was holed up in Conwy Castle. Henry Percy went to meet Richard and promised him he wouldn't be hurt. He surrendered to Percy. He was taken to London, then Pontefract.

And hurt.

Fuckstick is an elite slur. Please let it be used more.
What’s fascinating about Murdoch saying “bring it” to President Fuckstick is the Wall Street Journal ops page has remorselessly opposed his tariffs … maybe the sharpest editorials on the subject. They’re still filled with propagandists & fascist rim-lickers but on this, they’re good. wapo.st/4o5t9ZU
With his suit against Murdoch, Trump signals: No one is safe
Donald Trump has filed an unprecedented libel lawsuit from a sitting president against a longtime adviser and pivotal media ally.

Why do you ALWAYS have a nit to pick. There is so much to like in the state seal.
[Reply guy perks up] Not wild about the yellow staple border but otherwise, it’s solid
Minnesota has the best state seal in the country.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Passive-exonerative is my new favorite word! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s a fair point, and I’ll leave it to the NYT headline writers to use the appropriate passive-exonerative voice
Kitten killer is so harsh, feline death-state transitionary agent is the preferred nomenclature

Does he know Snake Plissken wasn’t real and George Carlin would ridicule him until he was a sobbing mess?
I can think of a lot of labels that would apply here but it’s the holidays

My initial take on Bluesky is it’s like a brand-new airport. Bright, shiny and new. Bathrooms are clean. Not at all overcrowded. You can even hear the announcements clearly. This place has a lot of promise.

I hope he does the pork pie hat next.
Confession: I have been remembering when I had a leather bomber jacket in about 1989-1990 and how warm and comfy it was and how I thought I looked cool in it and I was kind of thinking I should get one now and I’d look cool and Elon Musk has single-handedly exterminated that idea from my soul
