My brother posts this every year in the family chat on the 4th. Still hilarious.

I invited the photographer over.

“Can we get lots of close-up photos of these beautiful arrangements?”

He nodded enthusiastically.

“And make sure my mother-in-law is in every one.”

Guests started chuckling.

I wasn’t finished.

“As a token of appreciation, every arrangement is going home with her tonight.”

More laughter.

“I’ve already arranged for the venue staff to load all twenty-four of them into her SUV.”

The laughter became applause.

She leaned toward me, hissing, “You’re humiliating me.”

I smiled politely.

“No.”

I just love this.

I love the professionalism & commitment of the dancers.

I love their determination to carry on through the most tragic moment of the dance.

But we all know everyone is watching the cat…🤣🤣🤣

I packed everything in silence and timed it perfectly.

Daniel stood on the porch in his airport clothes, suitcase in one hand, twisting that silver key over and over. The lock wouldn’t turn.

Melissa stood beside him in oversized sunglasses, shopping bags on her wrist still smiling… until the smile died.

Get a dog, they said...

[Interesting things @awkwardgoogle]

pov: My dog ran away, and my mom was super worried, looking for him everywhere... 30 minutes later, she received this video of him having the time of his life with some strangers.

Normal walk. Leash in hand. Golden being his usual happy self.
Then a police car rolls by in the distance… and boy loses it 😂

He freezes, stares, and in like half a second drops flat on his back with all four paws up like 'OFFICER OVER HERE!! This human is holding me hostage!! I'm on a LEASH and everything!! Send help.

owner standing there dying trying not to crack up while the cop car just cruises past without a second glance.

The look of pure betrayal when no sirens came screeching over… priceless. He huffed once, rolled right back up, shook himself off, and kept walking like the whole dramatic surrender never happened. 😂😂

Monologue from today’s Times at One with Andrew Neil:

BETRAYAL

And still the revelations about Peter Mandleson’s betrayals from the heart of government come, each one more jaw-dropping than the last. 

We learned earlier this week that he’d tipped off his convicted pedophile mate about an imminent €500bn bailout of the Eurozone, advance information hugely useful to a financial fixer like Jeffrey Epstein. 

Even more incredibly, we saw how he’d advised America’s most powerful banker, via Epstein, to threaten the British government over plans to tax bankers’ bonuses in the wake of the Great Financial Crash, caused by said bankers. 

Which the powerful banker then did in an intimidating call to then Chancellor Alastair Darling. A call inspired by the government’s very own business secretary, one Peter Mandleson. 

Now we learn that the moment Mandleson was given a note about a highly sensitive meeting between Darling and then US Treasury secretary Larry Summers in March 2010, our business secretary had whisked it to Epstein within five minutes. That’s right. Five. Minutes. 

Mandleson then received a second confidential note on the Darling-Summers exchanges. It took him only two minutes to send that to his pedo mate. 

The reality is that Epstein had his very own mole at the heart of the British government, sending him secret and confidential information which could profit Epstein and his billionaire banker friends. And that mole was our business secretary. 

He even tipped Epstein off about the state of talks between Britain and America over a £10bn aerospace contract to provide the RAF with air-to-air refuelling tankers. 

At one stage Mandleson opines to Epstein that the then PM needs to be confined to a sanatorium. Remember Mandleson is saying this of the man who’d revived his political career. It doesn’t get much lower than that. No wonder Brown is seething.

Let’s be blunt: the evidence is compelling that Mandleson betrayed himself, his department, his PM, his government, his country. 

And let us not forget Mandleson had previously been bunged $75,000 by Epstein. He says he has no recollection of such payments though the bank statements are clear for all to see. But, hey, who hasn’t forgotten a $75,000 gift?

Mandleson’s partner also had his snout in the trough. We now learn he received three payments of £4,000 each from Epstein — this on top of £10,000 to take a course in osteopathy. Of course for Epstein it was all chicken feed. He must have been laughing all the way to his insider dealing. 

Whether it’s for misconduct in public office, breaching the official secrets act or dealing in insider information, it’s only right that his former lordship be the subject of the most rigorous criminal investigation. And quickly. This should not be allowed to drag on. 

But Keir Starmer has almost as many questions to answer as Mandleson. Just how was it that such a snake ended up as our man in Washington?

Starmer didn’t know what we now know about Mandleson. But he knew a lot. In a faltering performance at PMQs he’s just admitted he did know of Mandleson’s ongoing relationship with Epstein. But he still appointed him anyway. 

Starmer now claims Mandleson lied and lied to him. But my understanding is that Mandleson was never properly quizzed about his links with Epstein, so anxious was Starmer and his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, to shoe-horn him into our palatial embassy on Massachusetts Avenue. 

The push is on in Parliament today for the government to reveal all the details of the vetting of Peter Mandleson. 
At times like this the default of British governments is to stonewall.

But if Starmer truly regrets his Mandleson appointment, which has turned into a political catastrophe for him, he will sanction full disclosure of all relevant material, including who was involved in pressing Mandleson’s appointment. 

Nothing less will suffice in what has become the greatest political scandal of our age.

The way Epsom & St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust have treated Jennifer Melle is even worse than we knew.

First, they offered her absolutely no support for having been the victim of racial ab*se by a gigantic convicted p*edophile who tried to headbutt her, instead launching straight into attacking her for "misgendering" him.

Then they moved her & isolated her, not allowing her to mix with the other nurses in the staff room, forcing her to often eat lunch alone on a grassy area outside.

All of this understandably took a toll, & Jennifer was signed off sick. When she returned to work, they had put someone else in her role & told her she would need to reapply, resulting in Jennifer having to take a job at a lower nursing grade just to keep working.

'“I felt like I was going through torture,” she said.'

I am not surprised, what they did to her despicable.

I don't care that it is public money, I hope the Trust have to compensate Jennifer very handsomely, & that they learn that they can NEVER treat another nurse like this again.
