Thanks for the clarification!

Yes, I had hoped that after the last vote and the subsequent plunge in oil revenues that they’d be in overdrive to diversify the economy and strengthen their position for a second try, but I doubt much has happened.

Yep. He has a pathological fear of being away from places he considers to be “safe” (namely, his own properties). Wasn’t there a story about him flying directly back to New York after his last trip to Scotland and not sleeping for two or three days? He can’t do that this time. He has a very weird paranoia/anxiety…

So sad. Mr Marshmallows and I have a weird dream of moving to Scotland, but unless and until they aren’t part of the UK, what’s the point? It’s just America-lite, ruled by people whose only interest is stuffing money into the pockets of the wealthiest while everyone else goes to hell. Being in the north doesn’t change…

To be honest, if I had a free pass out of here to the EU, I would take it. Whether or not 45's administration goes down, the Republicans are in charge now and for the forseeable future, and they are intent on dismantling every social service there is. Another year or two is only going to make things worse, especially…

Sorry, I’m still back on the idea that Venezuela is currently a wealthy country. That poor place has spiraled into a freaking apocalypse, about which we seem to be doing pretty much nothing. Ugh, this buffoon!

I went to my nephew’s high school graduation yesterday, and the principal’s closing remarks were ten straight minutes about the greatness of the military. First, he had all the military in the audience stand up, and we were expected to applaud thunderously for their service. Then, he had students who were going into…

And I am so, so glad she called it out for exactly what it is—a personal vendetta by people who will push children off a cliff just to take a swipe at her. Keep bringing the truth, Michelle

Jon Hamm and I have the same coffee cup! I’m most embarrassed that that was the first thing I noticed.

We’ve got Canada and Ireland on the list, but we’re holding out hope for Scotland’s IndyRef2. It won’t come soon enough, but it would be an interesting option for the future.

I almost never burst out laughing at anything, but this did it. I love everything about this, and now want a celery hat to wear to a baseball game.

I don’t know jack about Paris Jackson, but in that one photo she showed more life than every photo of Kendall Jenner combined together. Good luck to her!

#Blessed!

The formal, Latin designation, perhaps.

I think it’s a fart of assholes.

I can’t speak to any other area, but we have a good arts community and we’re the East Coast home of the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement, so that’s something. But is their presence significant? Hmm, yes? No?

I’ll also chime in and say do not come to Florida. I live in one of the most liberal communities in the state, and it’s still full of out-in-the-open racists, yards full of Trump signs, and more guns than seagulls. The beaches can be nice for a week of vacation (if they’re not closed for red tide), but you’ll rarely…

Same. She’s fantastic, and she makes me want to try again after all these years. I used to like it a lot, while I was doing it on my own. Then I started going to class...

We’ll be okay with our Scotch, neat with the merest whisper of water, thanks. :D

Je t’adore, M. Delomez! I couldn’t agree more.
