Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This is Trump’s masked ICE agent, who shot the woman in Minneapolis, fleeing from the scene about 90 seconds after the shooting.
You can hear a witness yelling, “Don’t let the murderer leave.”

Local news has now posted video from a neighbor's surveillance cam. It does appear like the officer may have been pushed aside slightly by the bumper as the victim turned to leave.
Again, seems clear from the video that there was no deliberate attempt to run anyone down.

Have you noticed that doctors on ST tend to have one of two personality types? They're either:
1. warm and empathetic (Crusher, Phlox, M'Benga, Bashir, Culber)
2. snarky/crusty/"Yeah, shut up and I'll get you fixed, you big baby" (McCoy, the EMH Doctor, Pulaski, T'Ana)

Some genius took a photo of the baboon in his bad orange makeup and, using the exposed areas of skin as a reference, Photoshopped an image of what the baboon looks like WITHOUT makeup. Here's a before-and-after.
He looks like a cadaver.

The news media keep shouting about the Democrats releasing dozens more Epstein photos, but the media only show three of them and do a half-assed description of the rest. There's no link to the full photo set. I sure can't find one.
The media is getting them from SOMEWHERE. Does anyone have a link?
