What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

In the Swiss mountain resort Crans-Montana, “probably many dozens” lost their lives in a bar explosion on New Year’s Eve.

UK ‘equalities’ tsar is looking to be judged. She was, she is. She believes Queer ppl should have fewer human rights than straight ppl. She’s also pushed, thru her obsession with other people’s toilet habits, to erase trans ppl from UK society.
She should call Ernst Röhm*, he might believe her.

I do wonder what role he sees this person filling in Ireland? The President who signs bills and hosts garden parties, or the Taoiseach who needs to get elected TD in the STV system and then get elected party leader by the majority party? Either Bannon is lying, or people have been lying to him.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only person that remembers Toby Young was just relatively recently a social pariah after he was booted from an appointment to a state position when it was revealed he was involved in a secret white supremacist eugenicist conference at UCL, and also creepy sexist tweets
Toby Young - who now sits as Baron Young of Acton in the House of Lords following his 2024 political peerage from the Conservative Leader of the Opposition - has tweeted bemoaning "handing out honours to a motley crew of woke failures" in policing, the NHS and the National Trust

What a strange framing. For anyone who isn't aware, Trump is perpetrating these acts of international terrorism as a means to destabilise the Venezuelan government.
The United States hit and destroyed a docking area for alleged Venezuela drug boats, President Donald Trump said yesterday, in what could amount to the first land strike of the military campaign against trafficking from Latin America

One of the go-to lawfare lawyers for them is Paul Conrathe - a guy whose entire legal career has revolved around trying to decimate access to abortion.
It's not a coincidence that he used the K. Bell case to undermine Gillick.

It was also illegal to buy contraceptives. No condoms for the unmarried in Ireland as AIDs raged.
During my annual August visits home these boots and I would pop into pharmacies and brazenly ask for condoms. Meeting spluttering condemnation with a refusal to be shamed.

In the darkest days of 8th Amendment censorship all info on abortion was forbidden in the Irish republic.
What existed was a clandestine phone network, and strangers meeting desperate women off coaches in the UK.

Got a lino printing kit as a gift. Been 42 years since I last did one.
So my subject was the boots I wore 42 years ago campaigning against the 8th, wore them to campaign for Repeal too.
