reading Plato for the first time and i'm dying laughing cause whenever someone is all, "Socrates, what is justice?" he starts saying shit like, "is a horse not a horse?" or "what's bigger, a city or a man?" and then the guy he's talking to is like "oh fuuuck🤯"
Jim Hacker: Humphrey, I'm told there's a situation at Diego Garcia.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Only geographically, Prime Minister.
Jim Hacker: Geographically?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. It's still in the Indian Ocean.
Jim Hacker: Humphrey, Iran fired missiles at it!
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Towards it, Prime Minister.
Jim Hacker: Towards it?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: One missile ceased to function and the other was intercepted. So the island remains entirely where it was.
Jim Hacker: I'm not worried about the island moving! I mean the implications.
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Ah. Strategically speaking, the implications are extremely stable.
Jim Hacker: Stable?!
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. Since nothing actually hit us, we can express grave concern without the administrative complications of retaliation.
Jim Hacker: But the base is on British territory!
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Indeed, Prime Minister. Which means we are in the enviable position of being attacked in principle while remaining uninvolved in practice.
Bernard Woolley: It's what the Foreign Office calls a very tidy situation, Prime Minister.
Jim Hacker: Tidy?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: Yes. Untidy situations are the ones where the missiles land.
God has been extremely kind 🥺

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating! My Eid wish is to find this driver from Peshawar, Pakistan that I met in December 2021 from work travels for @med_angle . Please RT - He felt like a long lost friend, and as he told me about his life situation, I made a promise to him then that one day I'd help him with medical bills. Your help will be sincerely appreciated . I made a commitment to him back then and it's been on my mind all the while since. After trying several times individually, I have been unable to track him down. I'm counting on some Twitter/X magic and a bit of luck to make good on my word for this wonderful person. Thank you for your time - Azib
detached from the society the very day I was denied my rightful post as the assistant general secretary over someone who for the first time was seen (as part of kaps) in the interviews 😂
and then they’ll have the audacity to go on saying ‘sole lady president’ - :)
I weep for Adonais — he is dead!
O, weep for Adonais! though our tears
Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years
To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers,
And teach them thine own sorrow, say:
