Okay… this is neither a taco nor French. Nor a burger, for that matter.

Pretty sure this is a picture of a panini. Panino. That Italian sandwich thing. Not a taco.

My daughter, passing by: β€œWhy is there a Starburst on the counter?”

Just started β€œRelease That Witch”. Some of the Chinese stuff is intense (see also: Lord of Mysteries).

Agatha Christie
Madeleine L’Engel
Lauren Childs
Janet Evanovich
Beatrix Potter

Can definitely recommend Childs’ YA β€œRuby Redfort” series.

Honourable mention to Susannah Clarke - she’s only written three books but I have all of them.

I know Hopkins is completely lacking all shame and self-awareness. But surely at some point some part of the brain might suggest that describing one’s weird fantasy of fellating Donald Trump to a worldwide audience isn’t the best idea?

Give RFK Jr some time and he’ll turn that around.

A lot of them don’t anymore, because the Reagan years and after pushed the β€œwe don’t want our taxes paying for nice things free to the public” line so hard those nice things went away.

But I have no idea what the person posting that picture was after.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Hello British people! Would you like to vomit uncontrollably? Then watch this segment from The Daily Show on 15-minute cities.

Starts out fine. Then Katie Hopkins appears. Then it just gets worse. The last minute or so may require therapy to erase. You have been warned.

Let us not forget the glorious weirdness of the show β€œLexx”, and Curry’s expert scenery chewing as Poet Man. It is a thing of wonder.
