All right this is the funniest thing I’ve seen yet over the bit from the Epstein files everyone’s going wild over
A photo of Nancy Reagan, in a pinkish-red dress, shaking hands with Donald Trump, who is wearing a blue suit. In the background is what looks like Ronald Reagan in a beige suit next to somebody or other in a white military uniform. It is captioned “game recognizes game.”

Well since I went to all the trouble of TRANSCRIBING this since OCR isn’t trained on William Morris lettering, here are some excellent woke opinions from the 19th century that we could do to adopt today
Socialist Sunday School Ten Commandments. I. Love your schoolfellows. They will become your fellow workers and companions in life. II. Love learning which is the food of the mind. Be as grateful to your teachers as to your parents. Ill. Make every day holy by good and useful deeds and kindly actions. IV. Honour good people; be courageous and respect all; bow down to none. V. Do not hate or offend anyone. Defend your rights and resist tyranny. VI. Be not cowardly. Defend the feeble and love justice. VII. Remember that all the produces of the earth are the result of labour; whoever enjoys them without working for them is stealing the bread of the worker. VIII. Observe and think, in order to discover the truth. Do not believe that which is contrary to reason and never deceive yourself or others. IX. Do not think that he who loves his country must hate and despise other nations, or wish for war which is a remnant of barbarism. X. Help to bring about the day when all nations shall live fraternally together in peace and prosperity. — Declaration. - We desire to be just and loving to all our fellow men and women, to work together as brothers and sisters to be kind to every living creature: and to help forge a new society, with justice as its foundation and love its law.

See how sparkly?
A backpack covered in iridescent pink sequins and with reflective panels sits on the floor of a subway car. There is a bright pink water bottle with an aqua green cap in the left hand pocket. Visible are the OP’s legs clad in floral leggings and the edge of an orange plastic subway seat.

This is a 1957 BMW R26 motorcycle. It is black and silver, and clearly remembers its origins as a bicycle with a motor - it has a black teardrop tank with white piping, wire spoked wheels with waffle tires, straight-across handlebars like a mountain bike, and a big round front headlight. It is extraordinarily beautiful.

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too. Saw this & thought I'd repost

also I get the feeling that a lot of Nancy’s style choices (like, clothes, decor, everything) were in conscious competition with Jackie

QED
Jackie Kennedy with Pope John XXIII and I guess some cardinals. Jackie is in floor length black with a veil. The Pope is in floor length white with jewelry. The cardinals are wearing red and black.

The one I look most like is my paternal grandfather. Though it’s most apparent in baby pictures.

My son and I look like the same person in different colorways ex

It was probably digital

But I DID get a paper copy!
Love Continuance and Increasing Chapter One Guernsey April, 1802 "State your business," the sentry said, sounding bored. "Lieutenant William Thorne of His Majesty's Navy," the newcomer said, as if the second part weren't perfectly obvious from his uniform. At least he'd remembered not to say "second of the Royal Oak"; that unlucky ship sat at moorings in Kingston Harbour, her company dispersed. "I have a letter for Major Rockingham. When he's read it, he'll want to see me." The sentry seemed unimpressed. "You wait here." Thorne clasped his hands behind his back, pacing the ground, as unsteady in his mind as in his legs. When the Charwell had sailed from Kingston, late in January, England and France had still been at war. When it arrived in the Channel, the packet that met them had brought the news of the peace. He remained "of the Royal Navy," but who knew if he would
