Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent

‘“We put all our politicians in prison as soon as they’re elected. Don’t you?”

“Why?”

“It saves time.”’
Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

“Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”
Discworld QOTD, from Making Money

"‘Even tyrants have to obey the law.’ He paused, looking thoughtful, and continued: ‘No, I tell a lie, tyrants do not have to obey the law, obviously, but they do have to observe the niceties.’"

Extension of the 31 bus to Rosewell will mean the bus is full before it reaches the Lasswade Road at the busiest times in the morning. The service frequency is not being restored to pre-COVID levels either despite new housing estates in South #Edinburgh #buses

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.

And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

I guess we’ll have to wait until Friday, when the “global consensus” will begin to take shape—I suspect somewhat quickly.
Those brutal "Melania" documentary reviews have vanished from Letterboxd. Sad.
Meanwhile, the First Lady used a Fox News appearance calling for “unity” to shill the film.

Some insensitive oaf has just arrived back in the boat and spent 30 minutes getting ready for bed, blowing his nose, lumbering around in a very small bathroom, flushing the head and seemingly unable to close the door in a single attempt. Still, my turn later. 😁
