My powdered wig just arrived for my reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware in an above-ground pool on July 4th to celebrate America’s 250th birthday

I don't condone any of what I've seen in Belfast. I mean, I'd go to prison if I did, but all the same, it's not my preferred way of doing things. But then my preferred way of doing things (voting and public debate) hasn't made the slightest impact on the decision-making of the state. As such, there was a certain inevitability about this.
Moreover, it's not really my place to judge. I am an extremely fortunate individual who happens to live in a 99% white area, miles from any "diversity" and thanks to my self-employed status, I don't have to self-censor or live a double life at work. I don't have to bottle up my opinions. I actually make a modest income by expressing them.
Most low income working class people, meanwhile, have to live in close proximity to diversity and the squalor that goes with it. Their votes are even more worthless as mine, and they can't speak their minds freely because there'll be some HR ghoul in the mix who will fire them. Ordinary people bear the burden of potentially losing everything for having the wrong opinions.
Meanwhile, they can work hard to carve out a little corner of peace for themselves, just for the local authority to turn next door into a migrant HMO with illegal Deliveroo drivers coming and going at all hours. It's their communities being turned into alien, hostile and violent slums. To then say there is no justification for riots is to tell them they simply have to suck it up - even when they run the risk of an African savage beheading them. What are they supposed to do? Write to their MP? Everyone has a breaking point.
While politicians call for calm, they can only expect to be heeded if they actually do something, but remaining calm when the politicians continue to sit on their hands as people are butchered in the street is absolutely bovine. Ultimately these riots are a consequence of the wilful deafness of politicians, and the blame for what we've seen tonight lies squarely in their shop.

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke
“Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.”
“People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’
“I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.”
“So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’
“And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

I’m offended. Joker is way more competent than Newsome. 😆

I’m laughing, but he’s exposing Bass and Newsom for the cartoon characters they truly are.
The simple fact is that you’d have to be out of your mind to reelect Karen Bass after what she has done to our beautiful city. She is a living nightmare.

Just finished season one of 9-1-1: Nashville and I have opinions.
- the (sort of) long-lost illegitimate child that suddenly shows up theme has *several* pages on TVTropes, that’s how overused it it. It might have been shocking on Big Valley but it’s been sixty years, 1/x

Because, as my favorite author once stated, “once you pay Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.”

I am genuinely struggling to understand this logic.
If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil?
