Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Who will play him in the inevitable movie? Philip Seymour Hoffman would have been perfect. Or Christoph Waltz 15 years ago.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Post you from a different era. This was my young, carefree, spontaneous era. I was 19 I think. I drove 250 miles to London just to buy the 'Boy' hat on the King's Road because I'd seen the Pet Shop Boys wear one

We had a lot of mutual, so maybe. But it doesn't matter though because they certainly won't be the only ones who think it or say it 🤷‍♀️

Never iron bedding or jeans. Hang stuff whilst wet, then give it 10 mins in dryer when almost dry. Hang other stuff when still very hot from dryer. Lastly, creases drop out of lots of stuff with body heat

Exactly this.

Like, you're posting on a site funded by hate and division, owned by the world's richest cunt, surrounded by the worst people in the world, and bluesky members are the joke? Fuck that, and fuck you. Anyway. This place might be a bit worthy and humourless, but I'd rather that than propping up facists

I was there last night. I still have my account and I still like to check my old TL for views on a particular news story or pop culture type event. The first thing I saw was two people I always liked ripping the piss out of bluesky and it made me so mad.
