Nigel Hawthorne as Sir Humphrey Appleby

Give him time. I'm expected a huge domed building in DC next called Amerika Trump Hall or something like that.

I loathe these moderation tools for that reason.

Also I have no faith that a bit which will inevitably be mostly trained with US sensibilities in mind would work for my sensibilities anyway.

Deeper version: It's church Armenian?

Might I humbly suggest to my lawyerly friends this approach to directing judicial attention to the best bit in the brief. I am sure @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social could make this work.

Perhaps we could persuade some appellate courts to accept briefs in illustrated manuscript format?

The one before you went to Crescat?

This post-covid malaise is no joke.

At least I've worked better ways to trick my brain into typing. Talking is much more difficult though

And Marmite. Can't forget the marmite

I wonder if you could do a Titanic film that was actually about Captain Rostron and the Carpathia (would be a great one for fans of competency pron, and Rostron deserves to be better known).

It’s the 81st anniversary of a German U-boat being sunk by a turd. Possibly.

It sounds too good to be true, not least because the incident with the poo payload was the work of the captain, the almost perfectly named Karl-Adolf Schlitt, and the vessel was on its first patrol at the time... 🧵

A three-masted vessel in full sail. A tiny puff of smoke hints at either steam propulsion or they've elected another Pope mid-voyage.

Regardless of whether the pontiff is weak on crime, it's indisputable that the Vatican has been neglecting its ability to project naval force in the last few decades.

The Regia Marina nicking their last warship probably didn't help.

The pope has a now having a chance to do a hilarious thing and invite Trump to a reconciliation summit in Canossa, Italy.

Thank you.

Pls ask Raffi to check messages.

Not allowed to. If I Ieave my flat I sometimes become confused where I am. Would be a disaster if that happened in the pool.

I miss it :(

Take 5+ minutes to write this.

I hate this.

My life right now.

Realise it's after 2100 and not had dinner

5 minutes to get up.

Fight freezer to get out food. Have to sit down for 10ish minutes

Forget I was going to make dinner

Realise it's 2145

Put stuff in air fryer

Turn on

Realise wrong temp & time

Reset

Sit down.

Mmm, but Iceland is a very connected country.

You need somewhere with less connectivity.

Might I suggest someplace like Hill Cove, West Falkland?

(I have actually spent a couple of nights there - a genuinely lovely place).

Or Tristan da Cunha? Or Kerguelen?

It is wonderful and I followed the account. :)

It's amazing what people do who have an interest and are passionate about it. And sometimes the rest of us are lucky they choose to share it wish us

Like @abeeinthebonnet.bsky.social with her knitting, and @rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social with his cooking.

I know this wasn't aimed at me, but what a wonderful post to see Carl.

I dread to ask, or go looking.

I went looking

That was a mistake

I do believe there is something phoney about this ceasefire

Not a lawyer, but I feel writing: "We believe the State's brief is so egregiously and self-evidently wrong we refuse to further waste the Court's time."

May have been better.

Not a good idea mind you, but better.

I wonder what their $ to word ratio ends up being.

You should encourage this. We must pass on the puns to the next generation!

I mean South Africa did I believe, but I thought they got rid of theirs.
