The Boys is one of the best and most brutal satires of Trump and MAGA America. Idiocracy with entrails. One of the few TV shows that gets to grip with the moment.
'Extortion, corruption and death will finally end tonight' - is Trump resigning and taking his evil regime with him?
Such sad news - a lovely woman. We'll miss her.
As everyone has said, a lovely, warm woman with a beautiful smile. She'll be missed.
'You Only Need These Five Shoes in Your Wardrobe!'
Hmmm... I see a fundamental problem with this headline.
Brilliant stories, Rosaleen.

Fitbit - you are in danger of undertraining. Try to get some exercise soon.
Aye, I'll get right on that, Fitbit.
Every time any of Trump's people speak, in my head I hear Logan Roy saying, 'You are not serious people,' in that weary, exasperated voice.
