Not to ruin it or anything, but did Tim Cook go orange in honour of the President?
Dave Matthews - quizzing, TV, comedy, food, probably too much politics, LGBT+, hoping this is better than X. Dad jokes are the author's own. He/him.

Understandably and predictably, sometimes people choose the latter. And that means police have to intervene on lots of cases that could and should’ve been dealt with by moderators instead. Right wing people are getting arrested because Musk won’t enforce the law on X. And politicians won’t say that.

Hotel near me had more crash barriers and green plastic stuff put behind existing railings. That made me think it was an asylum hotel. Turns out a few days later, the racist protests kicked off. Now the England flags around the hotel are a dead give away.

Growing up in the Irish Nationalist community in NI, it's probably no surprise I don't get the love the English have for the Royal Family. But I don't get why there isn't a mass of people screaming for Andrew and Fergie to get nothing more than JSA/state pension and a council house.
