Question for @mysteriousbookshop.com - do I have to wait till you’re open to start pre-ordering books??!
... booksellers to stock more copies of the book upon its publication, so I am ENORMOUSLY grateful to anyone who is able to order in advance. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Not true.
I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Ok boomer
“What I most resent about baby boomers is that, technically, I am one.” Bruce Handy writes about being a second-half boomer, and the teen movie that encapsulated his experience: Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.”
The “Dazed and Confused” Generation
People my age are described as baby boomers, but our experiences call for a different label altogether.

He’s invented gaming as a parent 😂
Hideo Kojima has an amazing idea for a "Forgetting Game" where the main character gradually forgets important information and abilities if you take too long a break from playing.

Every so often you see the dullest most disconnected of the left whining that there is no new protest music despite, well, everything. In case it isn’t clear, Kneecap are it. There are others but they are it.

People just taking stories from northern soul songs and calling them fesses now… dread to think what they’ll come up with for Tainted Love
I usually hate snakes. When dog walking recently, a grass snake slithered up to me. I was scared at first, but then saw it had some sort of net wrapped around it. I carefully removed it, getting less & less scared. After, the snake seemed to nod before slithering off. Fear cured.

So… last night’s Daredevil episode 😳 best one yet I think (100% here for Frank bodying bent cops) but still feel a little sick from the Chief Gallo scene. Gutted it’s over, hoping we get a Punisher series. #marvel #daredevil

Of all of the ‘you made me do it’ bullshit this administration pulls, this is perhaps the most egregious example.
VP lecturing "the Europeans" again:
"...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq."
Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

Remember learning about Strom Thurmond in US Gov class at Uni and it seemed such a grim thing to hold the record for. Amazing that now students will learn about Cory Booker and how he broke a segregationist’s record fighting another one

Well, they lied. Obviously.

This one guy is why NHS England had to be abolished this week so GPs could have some money
Sometimes I don't bother with bread and just cut a slice of cold butter and spread it with peanut butter, Bovril is also excellent.

Velenskyy not replying ‘yes much like when the US fought in Vietnam and your boss dodged the draft’ was his only slip up in the Oval
What a disingenuous line this was from Vance today: "you guys are going around...forcing conscripts to the frontlines because you have manpower problems" meduza.io/en/feature/2...
1. Yes, that's how total wars work
2. This admin—like last one—ASKED Ukraine to expand conscription

Catching Ebola to own the libs
Musk: I should say we will make mistakes. We won't be perfect. But when we make a mistake we'll fix it quickly. So for example with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled briefly was Ebola prevention.

Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason."

How long until the first truck with this printed on its bumper ploughs into a group at Mardi Gras or Pride, or the first assault rifle wielding maniac with it on his hoody opens fire on a crowd of minorities?
