I know you are being sarcastic. The Queen isn’t involved with Russian oligarchs. The ‘scandal’ is that she invested with two failed companies in the U.K. through offshore means, and the companies were mildly shady. The Queen is expected to invest in reputable U.K. companies. Honestly I’m having a hard time getting…

Technically Rand is an objectivist/libertarian, not a fascist or nazi. It’s splitting hairs in the asshole department, but there are very different motivations. From my limited understanding of objectivism and libertarianism, there isn’t the quest for authoritarianism and conformity that nazis and fascists strive for…

Excellent article, as always.

Be prepared to hear about this crap in younger generations. Entitlement did not magically evaporate at the turn of the century.

Hoffman is just gross.

I’m surprised that ‘dither’ is in 45's vocabulary.

He’s either bi or pansexual and not monogamous. IIRC he’s had more than one wife too.

He looks kind of like the Babadook in that getup. They are both scary entities. The Babadook apparent is gay or a gay icon (I didn’t get that from the film, but I’ve heard that here). Stone is I think either bi or pansexual, I’m not entirely sure. There’s a Netflix documentary about him which goes into a tiny bit of…

In all that pile of cray personalities it’s Bannon that comes out the sanest. Which…*sigh*…SMH.

I had bowel cancer two years ago, and am now cancer free. It bugs me no end how culture deals with cancer. It’s great to have people’s sympathy and support on an individual level, but in general there’s a sort of pity and fear that I think is harmful. People with cancer are cast as warriors and survivors, but honestly…

I second that! The Royal Palace is great, though might be considered small if you think of a palace as being on the larger end of stately homes. It’s well worth learning the story of Queen Liliuokalani, who was inprisoned there under house arrest while the coup was going on (she is responsible for it being bloodless,…

I don’t hate Charles. Anne probably would have been the best of the siblings to wear the crown but Charles is okay. Andrew or Edward would likely have been be a train wreck (wait, what is the verb tense for future-never-gonna-happen?)

I read elsewhere that she was given a flag and each of her two children were given a flag, but that’s 3 not 2. Another possibility is that a fourth flag was given for her unborn child, and I think that would make sense if she was carrying that one along with her own. I do not know for certain.

Pretty much everything Trump does is Trump’s Watergate. 🤷‍♀️

I got cancer at 39, and for awhile there was a prospect of dying. I generally lived within my means, but had difficulty saving (and had periods of unemployment and low employment without a government safety net which drained my savings). I did however have lots of adventures and lived in multiple countries, and I did…

One thing I found notable in news coverage are the Scottish flags being carried by separatist protestors. This is pointing out the Scotland had a legal referendum that was not boycotted in protest. Scotland ultimately voted to stay in the U.K. and apart from Brexit caused IndyRef2 rumblings, the result has been…

Check cracks in furniture upholstery (like where fabric wraps around an arm and there are pleats, wrinkles, or cracks), wall sockets (take off the plate and inspect the inside with a flashlight), and the quilting seams and edgework on mattresses. Bedbug poop looks like tiny dark spots, babies look like miniature hay.…

‘Becoming one’ is a weird take on marriage or partnership 🤔 ‘Combining forces’ sure, but you are still individuals, and presumably aren’t 100% wrapped up in each other’s lives. That doesn’t sound psychologically healthy.

I’m sorry that happened to you 😞

Is it still free speech if they don’t give him a microphone, lighting, or electricity? What if the sprinklers ‘suddenly’ came on? Or a flash mob holds a silent disco in the same space at the same time? Or a bucketful of pig’s blood ‘suddenly’ drops from the ceiling onto his head? Or nudists streak the stage? Or ‘Pump…
