@wendyknowler Absolutely agree.

It reminds me in a way of seeing shots of the Manhatten skyline before 9/11? I find myself thinking, hey that's all wrong.

Imogen is finding this week all a bit much. Perhaps she'll emerge at dusk and find her mojo again, in the garden. #21daylockdownSA

@RicharddeNooy Macron did the right thing: give the Idiot with Bone Spurs lots of rope and he might just hang himself.

[Richard de Nooy @RicharddeNooy]

Notice how Macron is almost breaking his own finger to stop himself laughing or crying or beating la Mandarine Fou to a pulp with the handiest piece of furniture.

@brodiegal I could not agree with you more.

Positivity for your timeline! Meet South Africa's genius baby, Omphile Tswai! He is only 2 yrs old, but has amazing intelligence. He already reads complicated sentences, writes with both hands and can name geometric shapes like a much older child! Pics: Africa News Agency 🇿🇦🙌🎓

A simple test by @RickyGervais to see if you're a touch sociopathic.
Do you feel empathy for #animals?
When we witness their suffering our #empathy should demand action.
Instinctively we should want to help.
If you don't feel this you need help.
Empathy is essential to happiness.

I love Emma Thompson so much. When Stephen Colbert asked about the character she plays in "Late Night," she said: "She's a woman late-night talk show host, so it's basically science fiction."

Jared and Ivanka are “haunting Buckingham Palace.”

What we learned from the Trump family’s London vacation https://t.co/huGLZFdDii

[Hi-Meh 🌻 @divinejlet]

The US government spent millions of dollars on luxury hotel suites, chauffeured vehicles & back-up generators for Donald Trump’s state visit to London. Contracts placed by the state department show US taxpayers have spent $1,223,230 on VIP accommodations. https://t.co/uiIM7rtEqk

For Trump, London Visit Is a (Royal) Family Affair - Why Are We Paying For These Trashy Assholes to Go to UK?? DEMAND THEY ALL REIMBURSE US NOW!! https://t.co/c5gXzlBa14

.@MeghanMcCain calls projection of USS John McCain hat onto a London building during Trump’s U.K. visit “such a brilliant troll.”

“If you don’t want Trump to go … in your event, just project a picture of this hat,” she says. “It just made me laugh!” https://t.co/f8u2wbJuik
