In love with this evocative photo of outside the Atlantic House Bar in Provincetown, 1993.
The flirty, babbling chatter. The muted beats of the club. The smell of the heat of a warm summer's night. That little guy in the black vest with his cute porn star tache 💕

Another cop-out answer that highlights how obsequious our so-called 'special relationship' with the US is.
Given it's 2 days later, it's hard to believe that if there was any kind of co-operation we wouldn't be in full possession of the facts by now. Or we are and Starmer, Tapp are lying 🤷♂️

"Has the PM decided yet whether president Trump has beached international law?"
Govt minister Mike Tapp: "This is complex.. what we aren't here to do is give running commentary under pressure from social media.. to jump to conclusions"

‘We didn’t occupy a country’, no, they’re just ‘temporarily’ running it having forcibly removed its leader 😬
STEPHANOPOULOS: Why wasn't congressional authorization necessary?
RUBIO: It wasn't necessary because this was not an invasion. We didn't occupy a country. This was an arrest operation.

Keir Starmer may once have moved in circles where a chap’s word was his bond. He needs to grasp that he’s now dealing with an entirely different and wholly capricious kind of animal, Ruth Wishart ✍️

If Starmer is unable to make a statement as an independent country, without doing a huddle first with other European leaders, we should be in the EU, properly.

I've kept nearly every work appraisal I've had since I started working and just found a couple of points in one that really age me:
• Upgrading PCs to Windows 95
• Designing and publishing of charity WWW page using HTML coding etc.
• Assignment of e-mail addresses for staff
(This is Oct 1998) 😂

#PrEP prevents HIV acquisition.
110,000 people are currently on it in England but some communities (black women, people in rural communities) are underserved.
To end the epidemic, all must have access.
Getting PrEP into pharmacies would make it easier for many.
This is the urgent goal for 2026.
