Democrats have pressed for implementation in the years since, saying the only thing keeping the plaque from public view was that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) had yet to instruct the Architect of the Capitol — which oversees the complex — to install it. A spokesperson for Johnson at the time argued the project was “not implementable.” Some lawmakers took it upon themselves to memorialize the law enforcement response, mounting copies of the plaque outside their office doors.
the chief coward is Mike Johnson
cowardice in memorializing heroes
"In the predawn darkness Saturday, around 4 a.m., staff with the Architect of the Capitol bolted the bronze plaque to a granite wall near an entrance on the west front, close to where the armed crowd had amassed and scaled scaffolding set up for the inauguration."
The movie poster of The Bride!, featuring a close-up of Jessie Buckley in signature black lipstick and black splotch on her right cheek, looking side-eyed at the viewer. Christian Bale's Frank - whose stitched-together look is Boris Karloffian, nuzzles lovingly into his bride's face.
The Bride on an operating table, with a spaghetti junction of cables hooked into her chest, just above her heart.
The Bride screaming in what looks like rage and/or agony.
The Bride hanging out of a car window with left arm outstretched, screaming with joyful abandon.
Just back from watching The Bride! (Dir. Maggie Gyllenhaal.)
So far, it's my FAVOURITE movie of the year..!! (SLIGHTLY better than the other Jessie Buckley-starrer Hamnet, which I ADORED, but which had its weaknesses.)
For me, The Bride! was damn-near PERFECT..!!
It pretty much goes without..
There are 160k people who don't speak any English in England and Wales. More (1m) with weak English.
There certainly no streets in England where this is true of school age children. There is no street in England where it is true of adults either.
Can't see worrying about the apocalyptic consequences of computer programs with self-awareness while the world is already being torn apart by a guy without any.
Imagine if Obama or Biden had done something like this.
Wounded man staggers into bedroom. Woman stuffs body into one cupboard. A different body falls out of another cupboard. Dog runs through room followed by a squealing maid. Dog has severed hand in mouth. Dog refuses to give it back.
A little bit obsessed with all the nut clusters currently ‘ashamed to be British’ because Starmer didn’t sign us up to this shit show.
The idea the North Sea is some great goldmine waiting to be tapped is entirely at odds with reality.
I suppose all I’ve ever really wanted was for a beautiful woman to throw a drink in my face at a table in some swanky Sicilian hotel
A vintage ad for Vimto dating to the 1920s or 30s featuring a chap in cricket whites holding a bottle of Vimto and a glass of Vimto coquettishly. The tagline reads "VIMTO KEEPS YOU FIT".
No. It's like THIS:
Please god just put him out of our misery
If science is so great why do we only have one vegetable on the cob
Sorry, can't help. I'm not woman enough for you.
(Nor, indeed, VIOLENT enough for you. I would ONLY stretch to sprinkling you beneficently with Vimto.)
(And, alas, my considerable beauty ALONE is unlikely to prove sufficient in meeting your needs.)
We don't have the death penalty here for many reasons, including the possibility of wrongful convictions. It is therefore imperative that prison time should never become a death sentence via tolerance of violent conditions; however beyond doubt the crimes of any one man may be, this remains true.
I think the secretary of defense should not be a psychopath
Yikes..!!
I recently finished reading Clive Barker's (BRILLIANT) 1136-page Imajica and reading THIS⤵️ twaddle from RP1 took (MUCH) greater effort..
The above list of people in a photo together from January 1994
Suede’s best lineup: Brett Anderson (vocals), Bernard Butler (guitar), Mat Osman (bass), Simon Gilbert (drums), Stephen Fry (euphonium), Ian McKellen (kazoo), Pam St Clement (vibes).
A lot of these men were telling on themselves the entire time. But for some reason they kept getting the benefit of the doubt.
(Note that the OP was one of the few journalists not handling these men, and their companies, with kid gloves)
It’s never a great sign when a company thinks they need to make “don’t be evil” their motto.
Or when a company says they want to “move fast and break things.”
Prince.
Apart from not liking his voice/songwriting, what REALLY irritates me = that many of his fans often repeat the (in THEIR eyes) truism that he was some kind of WIZARD on the guitar.
I've found ALL of his guitaring RISIBLE, BORING&inferior to even Yngwie J Malmsteen, whom I largely dislike!
The song Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus makes me so incredibly, disproportionately, needlessly angry I genuinely cannot describe it. I would happily drown everyone involved in its creation.
"I was NEVER Punk", I whisper to myself, reliving my first gig with a band at a school disco where I played guitar, covering The Clash's Should I Stay Or Should I Go and The Cure's Boys Don't Cry.
(I WAS Metal, but Metal songs were FAR too difficult to pull off live for me in those days..)

The Chancellor of Manchester University has co-authored a new report, ‘Class Ceiling’, examining working-class participation in the creative industries across Greater Manchester.
The poster for 'Shakespeare's Othello' (helpfully differentiating it from all the OTHERS out there!!) Stark red and black, featuring Caitlin Fitzgerald's Desdemona looking at the viewer quizzically, David Garewood's Othello side-eyeing her and Toby Jones' Iago side-eyeing the Moor. There is a light highlighting the eyes of all three.
Othello and Desdemona holding hands, clearly in love, centre-stage. Emilia is standing stage right and Iago is standing stage left.
Just watched David Harewood's Othello at the cinema.
I'd studied the play many moons ago at school as part of my (woeful) preparations for my (STUNNINGLY unsuccessful) Oxford entrance exams.
I've been rereading the play over the last couple of days to refresh my memory&, despite enjoying the..
..which TOTALLY immersed me with its boldly, unapologetically FEMINIST, rage- and joy-filled energy..!!
..GUSHING over this film while acknowledging that it will try the patience of MANY viewers. There are faint echoes of Sin City and Brick and, even, mother! (all films I ALSO loved), but really, Gyllenhaal's greatest accomplishment, for me, is that The Bride! is, ultimately, an idiosyncratic vision..
