Didn't go looking for accidental Classical Reception, but here it is alongside an interesting comment on Ted Heath nonetheless
Further to emails ofJanuary 21, I crossed an image of a rare 17th Century Marble Bust of Roman Emperor Vitellius you purchased from me during the second half of the 90's. I recalled upon many occasions you visiting Bennison, Pimlico Road and being extremely respectful and courteous, as Miss Maxwell was on each occasion. From recent media reports about you and our Prince Andrew, I do not believe you, Miss Maxwell and Prince Andrew would undermine your conduct the way reports are suggesting. I feel for you all and hope this episode clears so you can concentrate on your professional activities that do positive things for our countries. You may have heard a report an interesting report conducted by a genius Lawyer Michael Shrimpton - Michael Shrimpton youtube - Exposes Ted Heath (and others) The report is shocking and is not a hair-line what you are wrongly accused of (based upon our many meetings). Further David Dicke reports on the USA former President George W. Bush Senior which again is shocking, unbelievable, unacceptable... Mr Michael Shrimpton & Mr David Dicke are worth watching if you haven't yet crossed their researching of public figures that have (literally by reports) got away with murder. Please find attached an image of Vitellius, pair of 19th Century Medici Lions (that are perfect for one of your estates), emperor Vespasian and a pair of Piranesi Engravings for your consideration.

Qui est suffisamment con pour a) plaquer sa vie aux US pour déménager à Uzès sans se renseigner proprement et b) imputer la décision à ChatGPT?
For Julie Neis, it was burnout that ultimately led her to confide in ChatGPT. She had been working in San Francisco’s tech scene for three years when she says she became overcome with anxiety, depression and chronic fatigue. “I finally got to the point where I was like, I have to do something and change something,” she says of that period late last year. “I was a shell of a human.” So she resolved to move — to France, specifically — and turned to ChatGPT for guidance. After detailing her criteria (a quiet town, with a decently sized expat community) and her red lines (no busy cities like Paris), the chatbot issued its recommendation: Uzès, a small town in the south of France, population 8,300. Neis moved there in April, and says that outsourcing the decision-making process to ChatGPT helped her feel less overwhelmed by the whole process. Still, she says, it wasn’t perfect. Although Uzès does have a sizable population of expats from the U.S. and the UK, what ChatGPT failed to mention was that most of those people are retirees. Neis is 44.

I do have a working theory that peak Bluesky is chiefly driven by British and American users having profoundly different social codes
Chris Kendall (Brit) receiving flack from kate (ostensibly American) over an (aborted) jibe pertaining to the collapse of American democracy, the crux of kate's criticism being that resorting to such a taunt is an unnecessary escalation to what was an already fraught discussion over American eating habits and kitchen paraphernalia (and whether Americans are in this regard globally provincial or otherwise lacking). Kendall's approach is characterised by kate as "freak shit".

A Nouveau Front Populaire which stretches from Your Party to The Greens via Owen Jones isn't a political movement, it's a community allotment with suspiciously sharp trowels
A pact with the Greens, now led by eco-populist Zack Polanski? Corbyn reckons the discussion is premature, and Fitzpatrick warns against an alliance with a “more liberal” party, while figures such as Driscoll – understood to be on good terms with Polanski – believe such a pact is crucial. Campaign group We Deserve Better, linked to Owen Jones and staffed by former Labour left activists, hopes to persuade the Greens and the new party to forge one. It wants to take inspiration from the Nouveau Front Populaire alliance, which was hugely successful in the 2024 French parliamentary elections.
