Lux, Seymour, and Peters are the holy trinity of Liz Truss. The father, the son, and the ghost PM.

Haven't been this annoyed about work in a looong time. Tempted to start plotting vengeance.
Funny, given I thought I was peeved enough last week.

I think he pretty much already has. Not doing a single thing to prolong his stay in power.

I'd vote for him as toilet cleaner, except I want clean toilets.

Well, when the government is only encouraging migrants who are wealthy enough for private health and education, it does rather limit the available pool of talent.

And now you take my place.

Except I replied to you, so I'm back in. Or something.

Maduro is terrible, but it is a stark reminder that a lot of the enemies of Maduro are different terrible.

I don't know this person, but had made the - evidently wrong - assumption of decency.

The Chris Carter-written episodes are *so* bad on the whole. I think he must have been a more than competent showrunner and spotter of talent, but sheesh.

Duchovny was bearable on weekly cycles, but more annoying on binge. Gillian Anderson is obvious wonderful.

Yes, that's a whole other thing. Losing the better-off whingers is a dangerous pattern. One question is do they go Left or further Right? I think this one will go Labour for the optics, and this is yet another reason why Hipkins' RW bolthole look is no good for me.

It's only ever "what about MEEEEEEE?" with these people.

Verity is just another example, and not an especially interesting one.

A big chunk of the middle class, esp Gen X and early millennials, think it's about to be their turn to hoard wealth, so let's not hurry into equality.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back
