I have a confession A sort of history obsession. I relate everything to history like it’s my profession. 16-18th C. -specific timeframe expression. “That potato looks like a sedan chair.” “Cummings thinks he’s Thomas Cromwell.” It may be a digression But it’s my ND disposition.

@DavidLammy @realDonaldTrump @JDVance Lammy. What are you doing??

Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on your victory. The UK has no greater friend than the US, with the special relationship being cherished on both sides of the Atlantic for more than 80 years. We look forward to working with you and @JDVance in the years ahead.

@HallieRubenhold With you.

I feel sick.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

This explains it all. :(

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

Please can someone explain to me why Americans are voting for a toxic potato instead of a decent human being. #USElection2024
