General Relativity is the gold standard in physics. the bits that were bolted on afterwards leave a little to be desired. Fluidic expansion? invisible undetectable particles? the cosmological constant? we can do better.

Mayor Mamdani, pressed on what he would say to King Charles if they talk later: “If I was to speak to the king… I would probably encourage him to return the Kohinoor diamond,” Mamdani says, referring to the gem in the British Crown Jewels, which taken from India.

Whoever wrote King Charles's speech.... 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃. "I cannot help noticing the readjustments to the East Wing" "We made our own small attempt at real estate redevelopment of the White House in 1814." This is hilarious 😂 😃. He is talking about British forces setting fire on key government buildings, including the WH. The fire was MASSIVE so even the "small attempt" is so witty! I hope the host and hostess got it. 😔

“We’re feeling cr*p as a country. It felt like someone just lifted us all up a bit”. “I don’t think people are feeling jollier having seen speeches about checks and balances” Are you feeling 'jollier' having watched the King’s Congress speech? @maitlis @jonsopel @lewis_goodall

@juliahobsbawm King Charles III writes his own speeches with assistance from his private secretary Sir Clive Alderton. the speeches are signed off by the government, thus his speeches have the authority of both state and people. A perfect example of checks and balances on executive power.

@Adrian_Hilton As a Brit, we sort of get used to the soft power wielded by our monarchy, rooted in continuous history, but yes, this was a diplomatic masterclass of the highest order.

@lady_doi As much as I love to hear our wondrous achievements laid out, we sadly cannot take substantial credit for the game of tennis, for which we must pay due attribution to our neighbours across the channel, the French.

What have the British ever done for us? A 77 year-old British monarch is receiving a raptuous reception in the US. He's been mobbed at garden parties and received standing ovations from both houses of Congress. This is not just curiosity and intrigue. It's respect and recognition of Britain's importance and the stability of its monarchical system. And more broadly, it's recognition of all Britain has given the world. Not all perfect of course, but let's start with parliamentary democracy, common law, the English language, the industrial evolution, the laws of gravity and the theory of evolution, penicillin, computers and football, cricket, golf and tennis. Oh, and Shakespeare and The Beatles.

@angloid0 Well, England is a political construction, an area defined by the territorial conquest of a group of migrants who arrived by boat from Europe and displaced the British.

The King politely pointing out he is the head of state of Canada to President Trump, was the most British "Get orf my land" I have ever heard.

Congressman Michael Baumgartner
During my time as a civilian in Baghdad, Iraq and Helmand, Afghanistan I greatly enjoyed working with members of the British military. As King Charles comes to Congress today, I join all Americans in saluting the sacrifices of the 179 British soldiers killed in Iraq and 457 killed in Afghanistan as they worked alongside US Forces. May the “special relationship” between the US and the UK strengthen and endure.🇺🇸 🇬🇧

@Rep_Stansbury love your take, but "the King of England" is a little reductive, as he is the monarch of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other commonwealth realms.

@ShakeLS no, the King writes the speech and the government approve it. It is a legal requirement that his speeches have the authority of both state and people. This is a perfect example of checks and balances on executive power.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but ADHD does NOT mean you are hyperactive. While some ADHDers are hyperactive, there’s a whole other presentation of ADHD called Predominantly Inattentive, which is more common in women and doesn’t look hyperactive at all.
