Long live the macaque matriarchy.
We keep loosing the greats we need most right now.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer human skill that goes into haute couture.
Another day, another confirmation that January 6th was just as bad as all the most frantic warnings said it was.

When you want so badly to be Churchill but you can’t even manage Chamberlin. Watching the Tories fling Johnson into power to accomplish their dark desires (Brexit and anti-immigration) without having to get stink on themselves has been fascinating.

And I need more people to grapple with how horrible and painful and frightening a choice it is.
Can absolutely confirm this as a methodology.
