Not the best quality photo but a student asked to have this and I couldn’t say no.
So while I’m without my zen giraffe, I’m grateful I have this old pic of her.

I was travelling to London by train on the morning of Robinson's last march. The train journey made me nervous, to the point that I put my Private Eye away and read something else. Upon arriving in KX, I was afraid. I very quickly left the station. If this is uniting the nation, it's not my nation.

there are a lot of reasons I love A Knight’s Tale but the bit where William and company reenter London in triumph while The Boys Are Back In Town blares is near the top of the list

truly the boys have never been so back

morning coffee herein the UK and oh bloody hell, what'd he do this time?

This is why Russia is still fighting, why the war continues and why people are dying: Because Trump and Vance encouraged Putin to believe he could win

Somewhere deep in the Vatican a mixed team of cardinals and professional comedy writers are on hour six of trying to craft a papal tweet God would be ok with but which nevertheless calls Vance a couch-fucker.

Might I humbly offer, "I turn the other cheek, not the other couch cushion (5:39)."

Hegs is a see you next tuesday, that's why.

Two headlines.

One country.

This is what “justice” looks like in America - two very different standards.

Equal justice under law is just a slogan.👇

JDV is as much a bully and a prize wanker as his boss, and the rest of their regime. The can go forth and multiply.

This sounds familiar. We know there's something with a giant fan keeping us awake/causing vibrations through the ground and foundations. We're not moving.Police reports detail what machinery is/how it's used. Neighbour & Local authority lied about that.

i am upset that i didn’t think of suing the bar next door in civil court until now

i wonder if my neighbors and i have a case to bring. we have so much documentation, we are all having to move, and we’re having to lose work/sleep/peace because they are breaking the noise ordinance nightly

Every day, we’re paying to be poorer. We’re paying to be second class citizens on our own continent. We’re paying to queue. We’re paying for more red tape. We’re paying to be less secure and less trusted.

In this administration, support the troops, apparently ends the moment they need housing, healthcare, or help surviving.👇

Good afternoon from the midshires of the UK.

Absolutely!
