In a country plagued by underdog status and a sport fraught with a history of racism, misogyny and homophobia, this adaptation has reimagined what’s possible , says writer Sue Carter

Rutte got the NATO job because it was thought he’d be good at flattering Trump and managing his toddler antics. At first he seemed good at that - but at a certain point this endless abject groveling just looks pathetic. Rutte as Waylon Smithers, crawling around hoping Mr Burns will throw him a bone

Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace?
TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited
Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join?
TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

I love #TheBoyfriend but putting in an Olympic level athlete who speaks 4 languages and is working on his PhD seems… hard to compete with.

Wow, it's been a couple of weeks (I think!), and a few of them are already saying they're in love on #TheBoyfriend.

Aside from this being incorrect - the underlying rule on sovereignty and statehood is the Montevideo Convention, which doesn’t imply defence capabilities - this is illuminating on what is now pseudo-official U.S. policy: any territory you cannot defend is fair game for someone else
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Hands down, one of the funniest things I've ever seen on a stage.
So original and with powerhouse vocals, Celine's back catalogue has never sounded so good.
Go see it if you can.

Imagine if Rachel/Stephen do off Matthew, he sees the letter on the chair thinking he’s finally getting recruited, only for it to tell him he’s been murdered? His face could be a picture 😂

Is it totally stupid to think seducing Jessie might be a good idea? Would that force her to drop the Stephen theory? Stephen could also weave in that perhaps Jessie is in fact bluffing and she is the second Traitor in the library / Ross thing?
Murdering her seems too risky
