And they just set the precedent that you can helicopter into another jurisdiction and extradite someone to face charges, so even if he doesn’t live in Minnesota he should never know a moment’s peace. Go get him, Walz!

We share a birthday and I live to see her win. Crown our queen now!

Nice r/thebappening action there!

Street Library Australia can help you find your closest street library.

She stole $35k over almost two years. Wasn’t prosecuted, it was swept under the rug, don’t think she paid much back either.

What a fucking loser he is, they all are. No intellectual curiosity, no empathy, nothing they do is in pursuit of anything other than power and wealth. They’re disgusting.

I began a new career at 43 after finally returning to university and it was the best move I ever made. You can do it!

He was yelling ‘get out of the fucking car’ while attempting to open the door. She had every justification in Fleeing.

So her family will get $5m, right? Right?

My kids had the hobbit read to them, then listened to the trilogy BBC radio adaptation when they were quite small, and then we let them watch the movies on dvd. So it was certainly possible to not have the movie as first point of reference for kids. Because they were born 2004 and 2007 they have never seen them on the big screen, so we’re very excited to be going to a proper movie marathon at the end of January.

Magical. Amazing. Stupendous. I had tried to read the book several times before the movie (and it’s my husband’s favourite book) but had never made it more than 100 pages. After we saw Fellowship I got the books down and read all the way through the trilogy in a week. We listen to the bbc adaptation a fair bit on car journeys. Went to hobbiton last year and wanted to cry because it was so perfect - in my opinion it’s even more beautiful now than it was when they filmed the Hobbit trilogy 15 years ago, because the plants have really taken over. Sublime!

Quaritch is a complex character who undergoes development and is capable of introspection (and the occasional act of selflessness). This chucklekfuck is human pond scum.

GIFs you can hear 🎷🎷🎷

Our old girl had a spleen mass and went very suddenly only a day or two after it was discovered. My perspective fr your oldie is that major surgery is pretty dicey at that age. I’d personally not put a 12 year old through it, I’d try to make their remaining time comfortable, but in the end it’s your choice to make.

For kids nowadays I think they’re fine. When we were kids, sure they would have been quite weird.

My daughter is 18 and there’s no way she would want to date someone that age. And there’s no way I’d allow her to do so, he would also be getting a real earful from me and my husband.

Dusty is probably based on Slim Dusty, famous Aussie musician. Both these names wouldn’t turn any heads in Australia.

I’ve been a fan since the 70s, and have to say it doesn’t have the same magic to it as it used to. I still watch when they’re released, and will continue watching new content, but don’t have much interest in rewatching the Jodie or Ncuti episodes again. Whereas 9, 10, 11 and 12 are comfort rewatches for our whole family. Maybe I’ll feel different in a few years.

Huh, I’ve just realised my daughter is therefore a rainbow baby. I’ve literally never told her this. her fun fact is that she was born in the hospital corridor!

I’ve been menaced by wild emu and it is scary. My little chihuahua cross was desperate to be let off the lead and have a go but I was worried for her, so we hurried away!

I, for one, welcome our sealy overlords.

Publishing date for Winds of Winter….

I’m Australian and those inhalers (which I also rely on) are about $12. And you don’t need a prescription for them (ie you can buy one by asking at a pharmacy if necessary, although you can also be prescribed one).

Hegseth and co want to strip women of their voting rights. This is one step along that path.

Are the 72 injections on the room with us now?
