A butler dedicated to the maintenance of both proper standards and human dignity. One insists that democracy, much like fine silverware, requires constant care — particularly when fascists lurk about the premises. Views expressed are decidedly progressive.
Pinned
One is genuinely touched that over 500 kind souls have chosen to follow the observations of a mere butler, whose only ambition is to maintain proper standards in both household management and human affairs.

[1/3] Mr Trump reduces America’s refugee admissions to a historic low of 7,500 - from 125,000 under Biden - with the bulk reserved for white South Africans. One notes Mr von Musk’s vocal advocacy of “white genocide” claims whilst serving as presidential adviser proved remarkably influential.

Drinking champagne could reduce risk of sudden cardiac arrest, study suggests
Maintaining a positive mood and eating more fruit may also help lower risk, researchers find
Drinking champagne, eating more fruit, staying slim and maintaining a positive outlook on life could help reduce the risk of a sudden cardiac arrest, the world’s first study of its kind suggests.
Millions of people worldwide die every year after experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), when the heart stops pumping blood around the body without warning. They are caused by a dangerous abnormal heart rhythm, when the electrical system in the heart is not working properly. Without immediate treatment such as CPR, those affected will die.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
