One of the funniest things about Austin Powers is how he is exponentially less of a weird creep than Bond

@Hidden_Collect @kroketrendang You vastly underestimate the brutality of the Dutch in war. In Germany many were ennobled for administrative reasons e.g. civil service such as mayors or other bureaucrats, so not necessarily for having partaken in warfare. Many artists were bestowed the nobiliary particle too

@SirNotAppearing @Marblechops79 @BWoodzy99 Perhaps you should’ve looked up what the HoL’s duty is before spouting such nonsense. There’s a clear benefit to hereditary peers over life peers when it comes to party lines & the greater benefit.

Im afraid this statement reinforces the old adage that 'The Conservative Party has never put the clock back a single second' A mourning of the constitutional vandalism but also an acceptance that it is irreversible
Kemi Badenoch@KemiBadenoch

In the midst of all the news today, and with Parliament prorogued, many people may not have noticed that this was the final time the hereditary peers sat in Parliament before being forced out by Labour. I want to pay an extra special tribute to them. Combined they had 1784 years of parliamentary experience, wisdom and service to this country. That is not something easily replaced, and it should not be casually discarded. Most were Conservatives. All were public servants. They have brought to public life judgment shaped over decades, deep expertise, institutional memory, and a sense of duty that has strengthened Parliament and, very often, improved legislation in ways the public will never fully see. Their record speaks for itself. They have served in war and peace, in government and opposition, in defence, diplomacy, farming, business, science and public service. They have not merely occupied seats in the Lords, they have contributed to the life of the nation. That is why what has happened matters. Hereditary peers are a living part of Britain’s constitutional inheritance that Labour is casually tearing up. Labour has rubbed away another part of our heritage, not to strengthen Parliament but to replace it with political appointees, four of whom it has already had to suspend the whip from because they were so inappropriate. That contrast says rather a lot. At a time when public trust in politics is fragile, I think it is worth saying plainly that experience, seriousness and tradition still matter. Service still matters. Duty still matters. So today, as an era closes, I want to put on record my profound gratitude and admiration for our hereditary peers. Britain has been better governed because of them. The Conservative Party has been stronger because of them. And Parliament will be poorer without them. Their contribution will long outlast the petty politics that has brought this moment about.

How do intel and SOF afford Tudor/Omega etc? The short answer is, the same as everyone else.  They work hard and save up. No one is using your tax dollars for Tudors. Relax.

@kantcath @Sassy_Darkeye @boymolish It can be, if you have the money for that kind of sweater you have the money to go to a skilled specialist to get it re-knitted to your lines. Saying it "can't" be tailored is wrong.

@izzitrin because places like Amsterdam have become so gentrified you won’t find much of traditional cooking within the city.

one thing i genuinely love about the netherlands is that there is no dutch cuisine, and as a result they are the absolute final boss of yuppie NYT cooking. nowhere in the world will you find a better miso roasted whipped ricotta leek with pumpkin puree

@Chilly_MIV Did you not pay attention? “When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest change”. Bending was what her personality was centred around, her sense of being & losing that was the catalyst for air as it required acceptance of change

To all of the people saying “it’s due to her personality” then explain why once Amon used blood bending on her she was magically able to air bend fine.

I was skeptical, but now I’m completely convinced. Fencing will become super popular due to this one very particular improvement to the sport. “Sword tip visualization” It’s going to debut at the summer olympics. Every single duel will look like a bloody lightsaber fight
