Unfortunately, enough of the lunatics who voted for Trump will still vote for the next Republican presidential candidate.

Suck's fake, Mr. Conway! You've got me agreeing with that cupid stunt, Piers Morgan!

I'm eternally grateful for the forebearance of friends and neighbors who filled in the verb(s) and/or corrected the tense(s). The kindness of strangers is also wonderful.

Rarely did I meet anyone dismissive or who ignored my genuine effort to speak German as well as I could.

There are few things more humbling as an adult student and resident than hearing the average German toddler producing perfectly grammatically correct sentences, effortlessly.

You really think so?

Really?

I would hope so.

RIP Bob Weir. May the four winds blow you safely home.

So there's also this. And regardless of anything that may have upset his manhood there is this.

Welcome to the club!

My husband told me if his cats hadn't liked me, he would never have pursued a relationship with me.

Likewise, for me.

Fortunately for all of us, they coexist pretty well!

remember you are not alone any more. You never have to drink or use again. There is a solution.

Come to an AA or NA meeting. Listen. Stick around. Hang out with sober people who have what you want. There is so much love and support in the rooms.

This year my family lost Caleb at just 14, to suicide. His parents and siblings and all the family miss him terribly. So many hundreds came his celebration of life. A beautiful and terrible thing to see.

Please, stay. You are enough. You are loved.

If you are struggling with addiction, please /2

If you or anyone who you know is struggling today, whether it be with addiction or thoughts of suicide, please reach out. 998 is the suicide prevention number to call or text. Your local AA hotline can help. The 'Everything AA' and 'Meeting Finder' apps provide resources + meeting locations.

Well, he has always largely lived on credit, borrowing money from whichever bank in any country (Russia, for example!) would oblige.

An educated populace is an even more fearsome thing.

Piers Morgan is another poisonous entity.

I'd say nonentity, but thanks to having edited the Daily Mirror and judged talent shows people have heard of him.

It's as though people who claim to be Christian have no idea of Christ's actions or teachings.

No wonder I can't find a church i feel comfortable attending.

This is such a thoroughly decent and loving thing to do. Thank you for doing this, and for normalizing kindness and generosity to those who are so often feared, shunned and denigrated.

A great example of how to be a decent human.

I followed you now because you mentioned cats.

That's all it takes!

I'll trade a pic or two:

The sun rising over the London skyline this morning, only it’s a very cloudy sky and the sun is visible only as an orange streak of fire that coincidentally seems to be emanating from the spire on the top of St Paul’s dome

Oh, he is going to poop bricks over this one!

Merry Christmas, Chump!

Congratulations!

How very - N Korean?

Happy anniversary to you both! Love a great love story!

Thank you

He was a treasure, and so very loved.

That's a good thought!

My great nephew, Caleb, couldn't say 'Aunty Shell' so I'm known as 'Dinty Dell' by him and his younger brother. I used to babysit them when they were 2 and 6 months old, respectively.

Caleb died on December 5th, at 14. I signed 'Dinty Dell' in the memorial book.

This is so well done. Perfect framing, contributions, beautifully lit. Just fabulous.
