Imposter syndrome is when you forget Mark Francois (Spud-u-Hate) Gavin Williamson (a lifetime collection of blunders with the teeth of a starved horse) Priti Patel (the Shetland Pony of the Apocalypse) and Desmond Swayne (the reanimated corpse of Alvin Stardust) are still members of parliament.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

That snuggle is doing more than you think, it floods both of you with the same bonding hormone mothers get with newborns. Pets have their own language for pure contentment.
