There was a line in there when Bartlet was talking to Sam, telling him “Sam, You're going to run for President one day. Don't be scared. You can do it. I believe in you.”

That'd be an amazing reboot.....

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

"But some hillwalkers are concerned that they are increasingly coming across piles of ashes..."

To be clear, a "pile of ashes" is not in anyway scattering, it's dumping. There's nothing wrong with scattering, as it's spread out and unseen. Dumping - no.

Is it acceptable to scatter a loved one's ashes in the countryside?

Some hillwalkers are concerned they are coming across piles of ashes during treks in wild areas of Scotland.

YES!!!! There's some fighting against it apparently, but this is exactly what Dundee - and Scotland, needs to start doing. It'll take decades, but they just need to "start".

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

"Two government schemes aimed at cutting energy use by insulating homes were botched on a vast scale"

Just the UK Government pissing away vast amounts of money on a botched scheme.... I'd like to see who got those contracts in the first place.

I applaud Michael Gove's fervent commitment to gov't transparency on intelligence matters, however newly-discovered it is. ~AA

Michael Gove
@michaelgove
Are we really asked to believe a single civil servant is alone responsible? I fear he may be being made a scapegoat. Why not publish the evidence, publish the correspondence between NSA and Deputy NSA, and have the NSA answer parliamentarians’ questions?

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

Leia🇨🇴🇺🇸 @theswprincess.bsky.social · 1d

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
