Having said it was okay for Bonehill-Paine to be a councillor because it was just bins, instead of dropping him, Badenoch has given him an advisory role – *after* Jewish groups refused to meet with him? Does she just never want this story to end, or....what.
if you're using an AI cover for your book, it's obvious to me you do not care about art or artists. that's what the book is supposed to be, bud - art. you are not one of us. you are feeding off our corpses and smiling for the camera.

I'm in Halberstadt where I have been sent by the lovely folk over at Orbital Studies to witness and write about the 17th chord change of John Cage's "As Slow as possible" which has been playing on an organ here since 2001 and is projected to keep playing until the 2600s.

Maybe it’s because Americans are so out of practice with kings that rather than anointing a Lionheart, an Ironside or a Wise they went for an amalgam of Charles the Bad, Sviatopolk the Accursed and James the Shit.

My personal rule is that if a person’s foremost issue with any given community is “division,” what follows is typically a defense of the status quo and a call to concede to its demands.
There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

“Son of A Preacher Man” is a good soundtrack for life. Driving along a lonesome highway? Son of a preacher man. Eating a wheel of cheese? Son of a preacher man. Having sex with a guy named Billy Ray? Son of a motherfucking preacher man

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
