A screenshot from the viral video Democracy Manifest. A grey-haired man with a moustache is being arrested by multiple uniformed police officers.
Stating that the Atlantic didn't give them sufficient time to respond *and* that the Atlantic received a detailed pre-publication letter is certainly a choice.
Yes, both of them. Nothing was said in order to get the funeral over and done with without upsetting the deceased's family.
Oh great, yet another hospital drama.
There was an element of that, not helped by it being common knowledge that the deceased and their spouse had both been cheating on each other for months.
I've already attended one funeral featuring Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt.
The Last of the Mohicans.

There's a v funny video going about where he goes to an MMA gym and a significantly smaller guy turns him into a pretzel. At one point he gets held in a choke while having his own catchphrases repeated at him by his opponent.

Amusingly there's a "nukes aren't real" camp *and* a "every big explosion is secretly a nuke" one. The latter think that everything from the IRA Docklands bomb to the Beirut dock explosion was actually a nuke.
Who's on with you? I wanna bribe them to mention "race to the bottom" on air.

By the end of the film most of the robbers are dead or in jail and the survivors walk away with nothing.
A neighbour has one. TIL I've been misreading the badge as Jnecoo. Either way it sounds like a fake brand you encounter while browsing Amazon.
One of my favourite criminal masterminds was the guy who left his prison release paperwork behind in the house he burgled.

Memories of Black Bag, where one character can afford a house in London with a garden on just a junior civil servant's salary. At least the married spies have the plausibility of 25 years of doing well on the housing market.
Yep, she gives off strong "would be a good laugh on a night out" vibes. Related, how good would a drunk DJ commentary for Madame Web be?
