If there's something you're not supposed to tell anyone, be sure to say "I'm not supposed to tell anyone this" each and every time you tell anyone.
(Yes, I know people like this. We all know people like this.)
And this, today, to the BBC; he openly states its purpose and that Opposition accusations were correct, accusations he denied as a Government minister at the time.
Shorter NYT for the last 7 years:
"Won't *someone* think of the forgotten white working class gun owning male in flyover country? I mean, besides us and every other media outlet?"
Before Brexit even passed I was wisecracking about the UK kids finally getting flammable pyjamas back...
And now today, Brexit pundits, when asked for examples of what they don't like about retained EU regulation, are actually going on about child car seat requirements and infant formula safety.
Can't say it often enough: there's no parodying these people.
Massive standoff on the back porch last night between the cat and a raccoon. It was like that scene in The Incredibles 2, except Stanley doesn't have laser eyes.
I'd post video but my file server's motherboard failed three days ago so it didn't get recorded.
Over on that other site, such personages as Brendan O'Neill, Toby Young and Julia Hartley-Brewer are excoriating the Met for the Coronation arrests.
Stopped clocks and all that; the authoritarian Right really has no friends today.
Bucatini should be extra-long as well, so you can have it with really big meatballs and then feel like a little kid again when you eat it.
Oh this is absolute flame. And from a professor at Cambridge:
Just a reminder, the last time a king of England was the Third of his name, we declared Independence and gave atomic wedgies to a lot of redcoats.
I don't know why I put out a bowl of water for the cat with his breakfast when he just takes ten bites then walks over to the bucket under the neighbor's downspout for a drink anyway.
Fomalhaut Debris Disk would be an outstanding name for an ephemeral late 60s prog rock band or a modern ambient electronica artist.

It was Thursday night and we were chilling on the intellectual dark web. Jordan was torrenting the James Watson bootleg that just dropped. Pinker was like “You know what doesn’t matter in science anymore?” Cowen guessed “GRE scores?” but no and Lindsay said “the art of the blade?” and everyone was all wait how the fuck did he get back in here and by the time that got sorted it was bedtime but when Pinker dropped a truth bomb “merit” we knew there would be no sleep to be has for us that night.

Russian terrorists carry out mass looting under the guise of "evacuating civilians."
Employees of the occupation regime (a mix of Ukrainian traitors and Russian Federation denizens) are fleeing Mykhaylivka and Dniprorudne in Zaporizhzhya region – stealing everything as they go.
The occupiers and “people's militia" are stealing cars and looting stores with office equipment.

Hire the hip.
Hurrah! For the first time, we caught the hatching of one of Cornell's red-tailed hawks, live as it happened. The first of the year. Replay here:
i hope everyone realizes that there is a not-yet-broken tradition of beheading every odd-numbered King Charles.

This is big. No #embargoes. No #APCs.
"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.
In a move that could send shockwaves through commercial scholarly #publishing, the positions are due to be adopted by the Council of the EU member state governments later this month."

If the Carolinginoids or whatever they're called wanted for some reason to piss of Scotland even more, they could have, when the UK national anthem was sung during the Coronation, included this gentle verse which was once (briefly) part of it:
Lord, grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring;
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush
Rebellious Scots to crush!
God save the King!
... Possibly the only national anthem ever to actually call for members of one of its constituent nations to be crushed.
