Agree! I'd love it if my husband lived a 12 hour drive away, she should give it a twirl.

This is horrendous and also unsurprising. She had a green card FFS. They don't care.

They had a few 'editorial' shots of him quickly on screen but no idea if it was a magazine or a catalogue 🤷‍♀️

Reality TV found the one man who makes the Real Housewives look stable I've been watching Married at First Sight Australia and I have concerns

I wrote a post about S13 of Married at First Sight Australia, we're 18 episodes down in the UK, almost halfway through 😳 open.substack.com/pub/communik...

It's all so seriously next level WTF. I'm beginning to think the common thread is that massive unhinged egos are the only sort of folk keen to go on this show 😆

I haven't watched tonight's cos I was out but will prioritise this tomorrow 🤞

I am watching this too and I am not a big fan of sci fi 😱

Who's watching #MAFSAU because this guy Tyson is next level. And I mean level down, as far as you can go. He is the embodiment of why women choose the bear.

I gave him a subtle makeover 😵

I feel like we do 🤞

I did this course last year, and it's really useful for anyone itching to write a memoir. (I've now got 62k words to rework after doing their rewrite course but that's a job to start next week.)

White House dumbfuck admits that ‘helping consumers is not our concern’ well, that explains a lot.

Incredible writing. No notes

I am sure he will have advisers to hold his hand, it's not like anyone leading is a lone wolf. At least he's not so deluded to think he doesn't have shortcomings, & is preferable to a politician who convinces you they can implement change, but then doesn't

As I already mentioned I am not motivated by policies, the last time I was aligned to a political party for policies it was probably the Lib Dems after Brexit and that got us nowhere. I am now voting with optimism that we might have drinking water in the future. That's it.

I have got someone I don't want now though 😂

No harm in voting Green then, best of a bad bunch 🙌🏻

I would rather a party that isn't run by fascists or incompetent egotists, not that bothered by policies at this point. Voting for policies hasn't worked so far so something's gotta shift

A change from the status quo, clearly
