Seems like Mount Leinster has tiptoed across the width of County Carlow to become "Kilkenny's highest mountain" according to #dng's @elladunphy

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

An idle thought - wonder if Chaney regretted getting the heart transplant back in 2012? If he had kept the pump, would he still be alive? #chaney

For no reason here's an unedited shot I took from my wee dinghy on the River Boyne July 12th, just before sunset at 21:15. I was looking for a spot to camp, just upriver from the site of the Battle in 1690. Luckily there was no King William, King James, or even the Andrew formerly known as Prince!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Say it ain't so, @teenvogue.com! Brown-nosing the Old King in the White House (what's left of it) and dumping the politics team? Are you going to run articles like kids not speaking until they are spoken to and other delightful 1950's ideas? Looks like it's left to Rolling Stone to support Democracy

Good Lord! Saying that a lot these days. But is everything connected to Andrew the Commoner, and ex-wife/housemate Sarah, bent? I am painfully aware that rogues, scoundrels, and charlatans hide behind decent people, but how often can you be unaware, to put it politely? www.bbc.com/news/article...
Andrew fixed palace visit for firm with £1.4m deal with ex-wife
A company paying Sarah Ferguson was given a private tour of Buckingham Palace while the late Queen was in residence, BBC can reveal.

This guy analyses the present "added protein" tsunami. He blames demand side and influencers who stoke it. I suspect blame may lie with the dairy industry who were unable to dump whey in rivers as usual so decided to push it to idiotic body-builders and it exploded from there youtu.be/19ZjMXZYq_Y

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

Interesting. Or perhaps ironic (even more than rain on your wedding day) - Amazon services are having problems, so Reddit and others are down. But guess who ISN'T down? Amazon.de, .ie, .es, .fr, .co.uk.... Hmmmm

Excellent! Nice to see her back writing in the IT. The Presidential "race" hasn't interested me much so far, especially after that muddled debate/interview/panel thingy on Virgin.

My daughter just texted to ask for this recipe & I was thinking the other day I need to make it this week. It is so easy & really delicious. I always double the amount of sauce because I love sauces 😂

Sauteed Chicken in Mustard-Cream Sauce
This classic French combination of ingredients also makes an excellent sauce for fish, such as seared salmon and trout.

So MetroLink is finally going to happen? Again.
The most important condition that should be put on it is to not allow BAM within an ass's roar of it.
