Re: In todays news...
oops...
"someone" in the Georgia DA's office posted a list of the crimes Trump was charged with on line... before the Grand Jury had even voted on them,
DA said the list was completely bogus & it was taken down
Later Trump was charged with 100% of crimes that were on the bogus list
DA is now claiming she doesn't know enough about computers to explain how the bogus list appeared on line, or how it 100% matched the actual list.
A total of 18 people have been charged, one of whom is Sweaty Ken's publicist.
In other news, Biden's puppet masters forgot to ensure he was sober before putting him in front of the cameras this morning.

'Cairndhuna' No idea what it means, but a great username!

Re: In todays news...
Yeah Cairndhuna Terrace is a 1930s-type scheme of council houses. It’s named after “Cairndhuna:” a rock stack on the bay outside the town’s harbour.
That’s a Gaelic name, so it was probably assigned to the rock by the large contingent of Gaelic-speaking migrant workers and refugees from Highland clearances who followed the fishing during the 19th Century herring boom.

Re: In todays news...
Biden gave a presser with the leaders of Japan & S Korea from Camp David. Slurred his words like was drunk, ear piece fell out, couldn't read his notes Then when he got to the end of his part, just turned around & walked away leaving the other two standing there like spare pricks at an orgy.

Re: In todays news...
Bradley Cooper's new film about Leonard Cohen has people in a froth about his fake schnozer.
BBC News - Bradley Cooper: Why Bernstein nose row is complicated
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66545013
I get that 'blacking up' has, rightly, been consigned to history and that donning a hook nose to play Shylock could well be considered offensive, but where do we draw the line?
Making actors look older? Ageist!!
Able-bodied actor in a wheelchair? Ableist!!
Stage wigs? Stereotyping hippies and rock metal band members!!
I was under the impression that these thesp's were paid to play people they aren't. I mean,they love to get together and celebrate their genius at doing it at multiple award ceremonies every bloody week.
Good job Silence of the Lambs isn't being remade, as they'd struggle to find a genius serial killer to play Lector.

Could be fun recasting Mrs Doubtfire, historical characters will have to be played by dead people, only straight actors can play straight characters, 'trouser roles' in opera will be played by blokes, they'll need a posse of nuns for Call the Midwife and ordinary humans can't be cast as superheros. What larks they'll have finding their Superman.

Surprised no one’s mentioned Not White and the Seven Mystical Creatures.
Presumably not Dopey, Sneezy, Grumpy etc. but most likely L, G , B, T, Q, I and +.
