Watching a British movie just interesting enough to finish, but slow paced enough that I sometimes FF a bit, only to discover I missed something vital and have to rewind again to where I was.

@HomoSocialist Vets here sell Revolution, $200 for a 6 month supply for April to Sept, but they refuse to sell it a dose at a time so people who can’t spare $200 buy it from pet stores & spread it cost across the summer. If it got banned here ppl would assume it was a cash grab conspiracy lol.

I saw a woman on TikTok say she was a “good girl” her whole life. Did everything the “right” way. Followed the rules. Kept the peace. Put everyone else first.

Now she’s in her 40s and said all she feels like she has to show for it is grief and a lot of built-up anger.

And honestly… as a woman in her 20s, I felt that deeply . Because nobody really talks about how being the “good girl” often benefits everyone around you… except the actual good girl.
Everyone else gets the patience, the understanding, the sacrifice.
And she’s the one left realizing she spent years shrinking herself just to keep everyone else comfortable.

Nathan Lane called Timothée Chalamet a "schmuck" for his recent comments deriding ballet and opera.

"You know, one doesn't want to give this more attention than it deserves. And yet, and yet, it was kind of kaleidoscopic in its stupidity and insensitivity yet strangely telling about where we are in this country.

"First of all, one should remember people will be going to see Swan Lake and La Traviata long after someone at a dinner party says, 'Who was Timothée Chalamet?' It’s the show business circle of life.

"And the bigger question is: Why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? I mean, who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?"

Weirdly, Iranian embassy in Pretoria notified us, Ukrainian diplomats, about opening a book of condolences in memory of ayatollah Khamenei and the military leadership of Iran.

I decided to respond - and do it in a public way. The letter explains why.

Your Excellency,
Mr. Ambassador,

Since you notified the Embassy of Ukraine of the book of condolences for deceased Ayatollah Khamenei and Iran’s military leadership, I feel compelled to remind you the following.

As military allies of the Russian Federation, the deceased leaders of Iran had on their hands the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens – men and women, children and elderly – killed with the help of the infamous Iran-made “Shahed” drones and other military know-how so eagerly provided to Russia by your government. Your leaders were complicit in bringing endless grief to Ukrainian civilians.

Being a person of faith, I try not to rejoice in the death of other people, even those who chose to be tormentors of my country that did nothing bad to theirs. But as someone who has spent three years to the tune of Iran-created machines of death howling every night in the sky over Kyiv and other peaceful Ukrainian cities, I cannot help but wish for every culprit to meet the justice they deserve. If not by human law, then in the face of God Almighty.

Ambassador, I do not know you personally and have no grudge against you. Sometimes good diplomats must speak for bad leaders and their policies. But I hope you understand that I won’t express condolences for someone whose death I do not mourn.

Sincerely,
Dr. Olexander Scherba
Ambassador

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.): “The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action.”

#Ontario we need to build more standard apartment buildings asap so ppl aren’t forced to rent half a house from sadistic psychos like this. Not condos/investment vehicles. Built for people with average salaries and credit ratings who just want a safe clean residence. #housing

This is why you don’t give a college dropout power over who can go to college.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is showing no signs of revising his changes to student loans or tuition fees, saying OSAP “is not a freebie anymore” and that “money doesn’t grow on trees” as opposition continues to bubble.

@HomoSocialist You’ll hv to pick 1 province unless you come fr a month lol. Still a strong British/UK influence here in BC, Quebec, Maritimes and ON. Some in Nova Scotia still speak Gaelic and run Highland Games; lots of history, old British & French forts, Viking sites etc.
