I heartily agree about depoliticising the civil service - I don’t know of any actual democratic governments where you might consider the political leanings of any in the workforce. Only single party states and dictatorships do that.
Donald Trump and his “people” don’t understand Canadians and really miss out on what we bring to the world…
We’re a wild party!
Usually with patio lanterns and plenty of soda.
Have a busy day ahead, which got off to not the best start with waking up to a sharp leg cramp. So the places I want to get to in walking distance may now be constrained to transit.

As Vulcans say…
I own it in my streaming collection and recommend it to anyone okay with subtitles, but they aren’t always necessary.

Might be thinking that if VP Love Seat is on another continent, he can’t do the 25th Amendment. There was also that Russian “attempted assassination” of Orbán idea - maybe Trump hopes that could be turned to his VP. No VP, no 25th.
Making mashed potatoes is a rarity for me, largely reserved for holiday meals. While prepping that for my Easter dinner, I noticed my little bottle of liquid smoke. Once drained and put in the blender with some cooking cream, added a drop of liquid smoke.
Good idea, it turned out.
such patient and we work through things together. Earlier on, she almost copped a feel before catching herself, which honestly was a burst of gender euphoria. I told her that it was okay, and she poked to confirm that it was flesh and not padding. 3/3
and she dresses so that most of the time, you can’t tell. I anticipated about a B cup, and that is what fits, but being a larger band size, I find myself more buxom than her. She has taken a surprising interest in their growth - transgender matters are not her forte, but I’m not her first 2/
When I started my transitioning, I didn’t expect much of a bustline, and didn’t want to be *too* big as I didn’t want to be having to “manage” my chest or worse, deal with back pains. My doc is an ethnically Chinese woman, fit, and proportional, so you can anticipate probably about a B cup 1/
The World According to Garp Robin Williams as Garp on the left, in shirt and jacket, John Lithgow as former football player and now transitioning Roberta Muldoon in blue shirt blouse, knotted under the bust, both looking to the right although standing towards one another.
What would Garp say?

Save energy: be apathetic.
It may be a bit late to share this for those outside Canada…

For those who didn’t quite recognise it but it seems strangely familiar:

A very early rendition but most key parts were already there, word for word.
The theme wasn’t recorded, but rather was performed live each episode, evolving over the years.
Where “omm” becomes “moo”…

Old teletype computer terminal
Programming with a 110 baud teletype connection - scrolling back only involved pulling up the fanfold paper that had run down the back of the device.
My ICQ number is only six digits long - as was the case for the original creators of the system. I went through the AOL transition when they bought it.
I was online before Brad Templeton created things like .com, .org, .net, .edu and the like to help make online navigable. I knew Brad back then.
Do what comes naturally. Seethe and fume and throw a tantrum.
Never donating blood again - too many stupid questions.
Whose blood is it?
Where did you get it?
Why is it in a bucket?

As much as I respect Anderson Cooper in his general journalism and presentation, I will always think of him trying to get a regular gig on World News Now.

R rated Muppet version of a movie?
Rocky Muppet Picture Show
Just imagine the audience getting to shout “Piggy, you sl*t!”
Started with a little shopping trip…
Looks like a Zoom call.
It was noted in “Won’t You Be My Neighbour?” that the puppet he personally identified with and voiced, the timid tiger, reacted to RFK’s death with this:

Okay, there aren’t many other things I can offer as hints without it being obvious to those who grew up with it, but how about
“Would you like to see my castle? Here’s my castle.” followed by the simple but well beloved theme.
Post your answers to the clue that worked for you.
