McConnell is majority leader, if he votes against it it means it can be brought back more easily than if he'd voted for it and it had failed.

And now the US government has shut down. Happy one year Trumpiversary y'all!

I don't use Facebook. It's not good for my mental health.

My problem with the Mail always used to be it was too tabloid to have news, but too broadsheet to have boobies.

I hope so! I accept that the Standard and Metro is a commercial decision, and while they may be Daily Mail Group, and undenialbly rags, they're not filled with the virulent racism, homophobia and misogyny which infects the Mail.

That's the thing though - the right wing do not understand the left's criticisms. Things like Trigger Warnings are not about censorship or shielding people from bad things, it's about saying "there are bad things here, be warned". Few people however would object to being warned that you were...

There is a presidential physical coming up in the next few weeks.

Jubilee/Northern/Piccadilly lines combined usually get a couple of PEA activations per day, mostly due to ill passengers.

http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/andrew-tavener-arrested-over-wife-1029229 Not really much information on it at this point, mostly innuendo. By the sound of it the woman was found dying in her house, and then the man got hit by a train either before or during arrest. The station...

I wonder if we could literally pay Trump to quit. It may not be the best thing politically, but I think it's likely the most expedient way to get rid of him. The thing is, Trump is not there on his own. He may be president, but he wouldn't be there if he hadn't had supporters within the...

It is a problem. The reason Trump got through the election is that he had so many scandals there wasn't time to focus on any one of them the way email security became a major topic. We as humans have limited capacity for outrage. It's not that Trump is any less outrageous - in fact, as I saw...

I follow Nigel Harris of @Rail; a few RAIL journalists; Geof Marshall; I forget who else.

It's a bit worse than that. I know someone who is FirstnameLastname2 because she was originally FirstnameLastname but then transferred to JNP so got an @tubelines.com email, and then when we got transferred back to OneLondon they couldn't give her FirstnameLastname because it was already taken...

I'm not a hiker, but I enjoy walks along the Thames Path and such.

Avon still exists in some ways, postal codes being one of them. After all, South Gloucestershire was Avon once. Should be again, it made a lot of sense to have Bristol and all its suburbs within the same administrative area.

Pretty much everything in London. I mean it's all SW, SE, E, N, etc.

One can quite easily compare the two. They were similar. They both led their countries through WW2, they were both excellent orators, they served in their country's military, they are both remembered in a mostly one-dimensional way. But yeah, we're all going to die. Still, a nuclear attack was...

No, he just never knew. That's nuance and Trump doesn't do nuance. He's a senile old man who no one has never told no to. As a side note, Trump used to keep a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed.

Hoo boy...

I don't call it a new year thing as such, but after a pretty awful year for my mental health, I have decided on one thing: * Do not be "friends" with people who will not put in any effort to keep a friendship alive. I'm done trying to coax blood from a stone, if they aren't going to take the...
