Let’s not kid ourselves that the powers-that-be give a shit about the people in Grenfell Tower or similar places. The government voted down a bill which would have forced landlords to ensure the property they rent out is fit for human habitation (72 of those voting against it being Tory MPs who are landlords).…

Also, the recommendations of an inquest into the Lakanal House tower block fire still haven’t been implemented by the government.

Thank-you, I should have mentioned that the emergency services in the U.K. have been cut and cut and cut - but according to the likes of Theresa May and Boris Johnson (until last year, Mayor of London), that’s nothing to worry about.

12 deaths now confirmed. Firefighters have now been able to access all floors of the building and say they do not expect to find anyone else alive. I dread to think how many people died trapped, and I hope they passed out and died of smoke inhalation.

This is a horrible tragedy and it appears that it was all too foreseeable.

The construction company that carried out the renovation said in their statement that the building “met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards.”

Good God. Every fucking day, I wake, and in the semi-lucid fog of waking, I seemingly forget that all this is real. I happily wake up, grab a cup of coffee and click on the news sites. Every fucking day, it’s like I’m relearning that the president is someone who doesn’t understand that grabbing some prime minister’s…

Why is it that usually the men get to chat while the wimminses do the child care?

3 paragraphs in the press release and not a single bit of empathy for the girl who can’t just enjoy the last days of middle school, what a tone-deaf reply from a school system terrified of losing that corporate cash because of a fucking logo placement.

This explains a lot (she’s pretty, you can get away with a lot of stupid ish if “you pretty” (See Tomi Lahren, Dem Kardashians, J-Lo sing “nigga” in Jenny From The Block...etc.)

So if she won that, then who won , “Girl Most Likely To Have Hair Touched By White People?”

Tell me I’m not alone in seeing a penis and testicles shaped building.

Let me try a conspiracy theory out, based on no evidence at all, Trump is having this leaked so it will cause problems so that he can push for an investigation into other leaks, like the ones spilling data about his Russian ties.

“The Intercept published a full transcript of the “very friendly” April phone between Donald Trump and his strongman crush Rodrigo Duterte”

I am not surprised that UK authorities are questioning sharing any information with the US. I am surprised that someone, anyone still thinks sharing information with the US is still a good idea.

Trump’s true ability is the uncanny talent for utterly debasing and humiliating anyone who associates with him.

So in other words it was another shitty, crazy day.

I have made my own gummies and this is something I’d be SUPES EXCITE to do except I’m a very old lady who has never bought pot in her life and has no idea how to even start thinking about how to do it. Can we get an article on that? Late in life pot purchasing?

Watch it. You’ve probably watched much worse or generic series. This is a great show, fairly realistic and faithful to the time period, with actual Russians playing the Russians and grounded storylines. It doesn’t present either side as good or bad. It’s like a unicorn. It deserves to have a dozen Emmys already. You…
