#YoungV&A

At the Young V&A with my 5 year old, and I love this place but there was a huge school group in.

Struck me how just a few people being destructive can ruin things for everyone, not only because of their actions but because it makes destruction the only engagement option for everyone else, too.

The original post in this thread has both replies and quotes turned off, but the scary message for the future of Britain is that the Greens are, as ever, a crank magnet. Meanwhile Labour are a catastrophic disappointment & still nobody trusts the Lib Dems anymore.

The darkness he glosses over with the unusually effective comedy routine is that she's working this job to fund her husband's cancer treatment, which is a stunning indictment of the whole system

On this one occasion I don't think that's fair.

He has nothing but good words for her personally, and he's referring to the act of getting MacDonald's delivered to the Whitehouse. It's an unusually self-deprecating appraisal of doing tacky things in politics

No

There's a certain irony that this is more of a "bad homeopathy take" than a "bad medical take" 🤣

Indeed, my first thought was that looks like a fairly standard sign in most historic British towns/cities. Thanks for revealing the provenance of this one!

Glad I got all my flowers planted just before the massive *hail* storm...

The more Ilan Wurman says "prominent law professors" the more it sounds like a coded warning and one day we'll regret not heeding it

Yes, but I think it works as political rhetoric.
Because even when standing against the US, the government is unwilling to state plainly that's what they're doing, or why.
Perhaps in the vain hope of attracting less trans-atlantic ire, and under the misapprehension it would make any difference?

Trump: Snap!
Vance: That's a 5 and an 8, sir
Trump: Who has all the cards, Vince?
Vance (passing him the pile): You do, sir. You do...

I had to look that one up. Nice image but confuses my brain where "morning star" is permanently associated with Satan poetically or Venus astronomically.

My first thought was:
"Busie old foole, unruly Sunne,
Why dost thou thus
Even on the dark side of the moone illuminate us?"

In an effort to provide the shortest response in this thread, ignoring this intro:
"Couldn't, not wouldn't"

It would behoove the US not to give power to sex pests who can't take no for an answer

That's the headline, isn't it:
"Man who says he won the 2020 election now saying he won the war in Iran"

This is so bad! So many people not only saying it's all his fault (despite *them* not seeing difference between "really abuse", as written, and "real abuse", as interpreted) but that standing up for himself is endangering trans people because Jesse Singal might see it

With that in mind, I want this season of All The President's Menchild to end with Hegseth inviting his pneumatic moll to visit Trump's ballroom bunker and she turns out to be a Russian asset and they have to burn the whole thing to the ground for security reasons

This is definitely one of those "when satire hits too close to the bone" moments, which is a compliment even if reading it caused emotional pain 😭

Assuming the majority do reject it, what do you do about/with the minority (I'm guessing 3) who do endorse this fascism thing?

I wish, with no expectation of reward, that just one leader of another country would say "we're not participating in this war because the US defence secretary and president have both said they're going to commit war crimes"

They just haven't looked down yet

Are we assuming Linda is a grassroots person rather than government admin seeding/testing a policy before it's announced?

The crowd around him cheers and yeets
Their copies of the works of Keats.
Those who need a bit more welly
Threaten him with (Mary) Shelley
