Yes but there are dollars in Canada which is the country I was referring to in that sentence. Which should be obvious since there are no recognised Aboriginals in Britain. If your going to be a pedant at least be a smart one.

The Queen’s message is as the head of 50+ commonwealth countries, and is broadcast across the world as a propaganda piece, they don’t really care about the optics of a gold piano for low-income people living here. Like the US wouldn’t have Drumpf broadcasting from a Target sofa (as much as faux leather and gold metalli…

Queen tries to tell everyone to get along and be nice to each other and people respond by being nasty and petty.

She worked as a mechanic in WWII. I’m reasonably sure normal rich people don’t do that. Count yourself lucky you have a Queen, figurehead though she may be, who’s had a strong sense of duty from the get go. 

Fork me, great tweet. I just shirt my pants.

Don’t worry. Unlike Americans, furriners actually read about stuff that happens in other countries.

It’s Hara-kiri, though I wonder if Hari Kari is some kind of curry.

I just came to say just this thing. This performance TRANSFIXED me! I think there is something special about seeing them perform, instead of just listening.  

As a queer American, Christene and the Queens has long been a household name we selfishly try to keep secret from the unwashed masses. V, v excited for Chris!

Terrific performance. I tried to think of a way to describe the choreography and the best I could come up with was “extremely French.” Whatever that might mean, I’m sticking with it.

The live performance on Graham Norton is one of the most magical and entrancing things I’ve ever seen on late night TV.

Yes, because everyone’s use case is identical to yours.

The BBC Adaption of War and Peace was pretty impressive. It still has flaws when it comes to some one-dimensionality of its characters (some of the women in particular) but it’s a very well put together miniseries that balances the “courtly intrigue” with the Napoleonic Wars.

I see what you’re saying but the phone is pronounced iPhone ten.

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism, she’s specifically taking about the movies that get produced and get wide releases. I don’t know why you’d think she’s unaware of plays when that’s not what she’s talking about.

I don’t include Warren in with Hillary and Diane. She is old, yes, but she is outspoken about the need for reform and doesn’t waffle around in the ‘center.’

Because white people invented it. Pretty sure shitty POC just kick their kids out.  Trying to “fix” something that’s not broke is a white thing.

Ninety gaffes in ninety years? He’s an amateur compared to the racist orange santorum-covered abomination, who can top that in a week.

Phillip is just as much a bigot and asshole as Trump is. They would have gotten along well.
