As you bent down, did you notice Mr Rylance assessing your neck for chop ability?
In the Herne Hill Sainsbury’s Local early one Saturday morning, I had a sleeping baby in a sling and was struggling to bend down to pick up a Weekend FT. A nice man helped me. It was local resident Mark Rylance.
At least I think it was Mark Rylance. I was kind of sleep-deprived and groggy tbh.

Sitting in the library catalogue room, looking up a shelf mark. As I move to fill in the request slip, I realise I don’t have a pen. I ask my neighbour if I can borrow hers.
“Here, but if you break the nib, I’ll bust you up.”
I look up in astonishment.
It’s Germaine Greer.

I’m pretty sure the US President is going to try and put his name on New York and suggest it should be called Trumpton. At which point, farce as we know it ceases to exist!

My daughter: My friend sent me a text and spelled “okay” weird
Me (in my head): well honey there’s lots of different ways to spell it
My daughter: she spelled it “oh k”
Me: yeah actually that’s messed up

‘3 fucking hairs’? Have you seen an as yet unpublished Epstein photo? I’m reliably informed that one of those hairs is in fact his dick.

‘The unrealised promise of America’ is Australia.
The unrealized promise of America is good, actually, and we should fight for it
i have been thinking a bit about how any political program that requires the premise of “america bad” is a dead end

Why indeed.
He has said he has always been uncomfortable with multiculturalism, and had called for Asian migration to stop. He disagrees with people who say racism is a problem in Australia because that hasn’t been his experience. Why would anyone listen to him about social cohesion?!

Couldn’t agree more. Ibrahim is my red line. I will not return to the fold until she is gone.
I think the biggest problem for journalism in Australia is the small pond . It coincides with entitlement and the arrogance to insult viewers and present opinions and non evidence based research . How Ibrahim still has a job when she insulted viewers under the abc logo is unbelievable .

The lack of education in US summed up in a single sentence. They don’t know what “The Ashes” and “ Bazball” mean! In Australia they would all fail their cognitive tests. A question in our citizenship test is: Who was Don Bradman?
It's not totally clear to me whether this is in the Times itself or is Athletic content not in the print edition (but still available via the NYT website).
Because it uses the terms "Ashes" &
"Bazball" without saying what they mean. Americans who aren't into cricket won't know those words.

it’s in a mountain and all mountains look the same don’t they? How do you expect the CIA to remember which one they parked a nuclear devise in.

There's not enough hot dog guy memes in the world
Rachel Reeves today told MPs that she had launched an inquiry into the number of leaks in the run-up to her Budget
The Chancellor said she was "frustrated" by the "unacceptable" number of leaks to the media
"That is why I'm doing something about it, because we cannot allow this to happen again"

Given both main guests closed with White Replacement Theory talking points - mass deportations + white women must have more babies; mass deportations + pressure those "who have not adapted... to move on" - WHAT ON EARTH did Phillips go on to that merited being cut mid-sentence? /15

They sold pickles! Maccas can’t give em away.
my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

When I first saw this I read ‘…wouldn’t have touched with a bagpipe’
"Until a year ago, Scotland (or Scottish politicians) wouldn’t have touched with a bargepole the toxic debates on multiculturalism ripping through other parts of the United Kingdom. Now, they have arrived at its doorstep."

Not illegal, just no longer used in domestic cricket in order to promote spin bowling. The Duke is considered to favour swing bowling to the detriments of spin.
Also, in Australia we have quite a few cricketers and very few hand-stitchers. Looking forward to the Ashes.
