Not exactly an unbelievable headline story, but in Britain there is a bit of celeb gossip each year: Who is getting an honour from the Queen? Past recipients have included The Beatles and I think Mick Jagger, but not Keith Richards - snubbed by the Queen, who turns out to be a bit of a killjoy about recreational heroin use. Anyway, this year, sixties model Twiggy is getting an MBE (Member of British Empire), which is all the excuse I need for a photo:-
https://assets.vogue.com/photos/5876...irthday-07.jpg Twiggy(née Leslie Hornby), M.B.E. For her services to God and Empire, and in recognition of her work in promoting adolescent male fantasies. And here she is again in a better known photo: https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.co...c0/540x360.jpg ....which leads on rather cleverly to the next item: celebs who have taken a stand on principal and declined the honour:- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ampstorie...tory_slot=1-sa |
God Bowie could be **** ugly.

Harry Kane and Gareth Southgate both getting MBEs. Seen people crying about this. It's deserved.
Sir Harry Edward Kane. It's going to happen. |
I'd say that your insistence on saying "Sir" every time you mention that guy is pretty English nationalist of you. I would say that but as you haven't responded to one of my posts in weeks I think you've put me on ignore like a vag.

Together with the woobly-looking letters of the title, whoever signed off on that as a decent album cover should consider a different career path. |
If you clicked on the link about people who declined the MBE, you'll come to Alan Bennett, and if his is a new name to you, you're missing out on a unique treasure of popular British culture. For a two-minute glimpse into this man's unpretentious world view, listen to him read from his own diary, in which he wrote down his impressions of Love Island, of all things:-
EDIT: OK, here's one more... Alan Bennett is talking about how he looks into his own past to choose names for the characters in his writing:- |

So, something strange is going on in the skies.
A mile-wide object was seen in the skies over Kenner, Louisiana. It caused insane electrical interference and phenomena. It exploded transformers and electrical devices. Multi-colored lights and beams were seen shooting down to the ground and frying electrical cables. A similar thing happened in Long Island City and Astoria, New York, followed by widespread power outages in California. The power outages shut down airports and subways in New York. Here is a video from Astoria, New York, showing strange light formations and flashes in the sky around the time of the event: https://www.facebook.com/bittersweet...27040134260456 Internet users also report this strange phenomena in Brooklyn, New York and Charlotte, North Carolina. |
Hey cool! An arc flash in New York.
Pretty rare event. As for Kenner, that’s par when you have an aging infrastructure that’s neglected due to lack of funds (and, sometimes, just plain laziness). |

Welp, Warren has announced her candidacy to the surprise of no one. That's gonna be a nah from me.
|
Actually, she's exploring the idea of it.
She hasn't officially announced that she's running. |

@rostasi She announced the launch of an "exploratory committee" this morning, is that what you're referring to?

Holding out for Kamala personally

An exploratory committee is not necessarily politico-speak. It means that you have shown real interest in the possibility of being president. Now, it's time to find out how much of a reality it may become. If enough of the money isn't flowing your way (unfortunately) in order to make it worthwhile to run or if, for instance, you find that the media bashing is not something you could potentially put up with in the long run, then you don't officially announce your run for President later. "In the election politics of the United States, an exploratory committee is an organization established to help determine whether a potential candidate should run for an elected office. They are most often cited in reference to United States Presidential hopefuls prior to the primaries." |
Hoping Bolsonaro goes for a dual-Presidency.

Warren has the smarts, but she has terrible timing in just about everything she does
and I'm afraid that could be her downfall - even before she's gotten up. |
