I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

Never miss a chance to tell my favourite science joke:

Q: What did Crick & Watson discover?

A: Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

The disgraceful cover of their lifestyle supplement that the Sunday Times still ran showing Peter Mandelson at home in his kitchen lamenting his bad luck. The Epstein files showing the extent of their relationship to the point that even the British press can’t deny it had been released a few days earlier.

Dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course and then meat or fish. Mandy did the prep work. He was doing a stretch for Misconduct in Public Office and he had a system for doing garlic. He used a razor and he sliced it so thin it used to liquify in the pan with a little oil.

I am trying to find a digital copy of Laurence Constant-Ancet's "Félix Lepeletier de Saint-Fargeau : un itinéraire, de la Révolution à la monarchie de Juillet" with some urgency. If you can help feel free to DM!

He was caught by some fishermen from Faversham who turned him over to officials. The officials put him in a cell with a map, directions to the coast (avoiding Faversham), and the address of the nearest horse dealer, but forgot to lock the door.

First senior member of the royal family to be arrested since Charles I...

I’ve just had a Tuesday that I thought would be Wednesday, so the dot over the i makes complete sense to me.

Wow.

EXT: Day. The grave of Noel Edmonds. A figure lies face down in the freshly dug soil, sobbing inconsolably.
CAPTION: GREYFRIARS BLOBBY.

These are wonderful. Thank you!

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
