“…A’Tuin had come from nowhere and would continue at a uniform crawl, or steady gait, into nowhere, for all time.”

“When people say ‘things are a lot more complicated than that’, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where (sin) starts.”

So CBS settled Trump’s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harris’s interview so it would fit into their air time.

Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.

They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

So many all around the world knew Prunella Scales from Fawlty Towers. When I close my eyes I see her on a narrow boat with Timothy West; thinking of her in character, I see Mapp & Lucia first.
She was a gem, West as well, and together showed how great and lasting love can be.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

Actress Prunella Scales has died, aged 93 just a year after her husband Timothy West.

In 2023 #BBCBreakfast spoke to them about their 60 year marriage

Thanks, @realDonaldTrump!!

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven. The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Enough.

Trump orders flags throughout the United States lowered to 'Half Mast' until Sunday evening in honor of Charlie Kirk.

(A courtesy not extended to Melissa Hortman and her husband.)

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Russian invasion of Ukraine?
"I will get it settled before I even become president"
Israeli Palestine War in Gaza?
Day one. Even before inauguration, really.
Trump 2.0 day #218:
Russia Invasion continuing
Israel repeatedly bombs Gaza as Hamas occasionally fires back.
No peace.

Trump: "We're stopped seven wars, and really the number is actually 10. We're not including a couple."

[DiscworldHerald @DiscworldHerald]

@Discworldshoppe Kinda hoping it would be something like announcing you knew of some asylum aid- accommodations, employment opportunities, that sort of thing.
Clacks totally acceptable fwiw, and sausage-in-a-bun sales if needs must. Anything really. (Except Harry King’s core business, that is.)

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

Jordan Klepper: "According to Trump, all the top Democrats got together and said 'Let's create some fake files that destroy Trump's political career, they don't ever use them, they let Trump get elected, don't use them, let Trump get elected again, still don't use them..."

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

You've gotta admit MAGA:

4 Million people never showed up to protest and march against the Presidency of Joe Biden.

America has a Trump problem and they showed it with the No Kings Protests yesterday!

Check out the photo for IDAHO. #NoKings

I’m some poor bastard who’s the victim of some stupid . . . experiment. What a place! What a situation! What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter…

@realDonaldTrump There is nothing wrong with bribery (or blackmail or extortion) if it favors a Trump.
It’s sad though that this is the best they came up with: Qatar ‘donates’ a 4 year ‘loan’ of a 747 to the U.S. government & then, when Trump leaves office, give it to him.

@Acyn He may need to sit down. I have some upsetting news for him.

[DiscworldHerald @DiscworldHerald]

@KevinCastley @ConSelfOwns Ok, your honor, yes- I admit Mr Smith is indeed dead, but his objection alone prevented the development of that lot for low income family housing, and now construction workers will have jobs and low-income families new housing.

Mr Smith’s death at least has a purpose.

@KattyPerrysOGBF @jaboukie Well, Terry Pratchett did write in Wyrd Sisters:
“Things that try to look like
things often do look more like
things than things.
Well-known fact,” said Granny.
