アイスバケツチャレンジに参加した時のパトリック・スチュアート。多くのセレブ達がウェイウェイとアイスバケツをかぶる中、黙って小切手にサインして、オンザロックを作った。パトリック・スチュワートはかっこいい年の重ね方を教えてくれた。ちばてつや先生とほぼ同い年だったんだね。ありがとう。さようなら。

The White House's new program of protecting Russia has ramped massacres all across Ukraine. The Trump/Musk cabal now directly responsible.
Dad over dead. Fucking carnage in Chernihiv. Russian scums hit city center with "Banderol" (small-sized cruise missile). Two 15-years-old girls were killed who were walking down the street at the time. Videos 1 and 2 show a dad over a body of his dead daughter. On 2nd video his scream is heard on the background: "Noooo!". @POTUS, @SEPeaceMissions, you like it? You are also involved in this.

On St. Crispin's Day, October 25, 1415, an outnumbered English army under King Henry V won at Agincourt. Shakespeare gave him the greatest speech on brotherhood: "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." It still stirs the heart. (Kenneth Branagh, Henry V, 1989)

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

My favorite acting ever. Not even a nomination.
Captain Phillips’ ending was shot on the fly with real U.S. Navy personnel. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Danielle Albert was told to treat Hanks like a real patient, and it shook him. A Navy captain watching the shoot said: “I’ve seen trauma, and that’s what it looks like.”

More evidence Chelsea 💯 got away with it When Man City verdict comes, the disparity in punishments will seem very weird Lesson is ‘own up and we’ll be nice’ (pusillanimous?) But if you distrust Man City’s trophies, you have to say the same about Chelsea’s from 2010

Putin had four Ukrainian children killed today, on his birthday. Trump: "I’m going to call Putin today. It’s his birthday today. I’m sure you’ll be celebrating him."

He is truly disgusting… 🤮
Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up." What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today? Who struck an apartment building at 6 in the morning, wiping out entire families, including 5 small kids ON HIS BIRTHDAY!? ​You're sure you want to celebrate such a person instead of maybe mourning his victims? And they laughed in response. They fucking laughed! What the fuck is wrong with these people???

Twitter used to be great.
So, a shipment of crickets for the lizard arrived via FedEx today. It was my first time ordering bulk crickets off the internet, and I naively assumed that they would be in like, a bag or some other contraption to facilitate easy transfer to another container. They were not.

So much of the right these days just have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the hit to manufacturing driven by a Brexit he supported
