My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Imagine that happening now. Trump would deny the hole existed before naming it after himself.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

There is something very special about the Rudston Monolith, as it stands serenely in the churchyard to the north side of the chancel of the village parish church. It is the largest single standing stone in the country, measuring nearly 8m in height and 5m in

Just seen the new John Lewis ad. An old lady is sat watching TV, the news tells her to buy tins of soup and bottled water because war is coming, she cries as she looks at the expensive John Lewis tree decoration that she spent her pension on instead. A Gabba version of Fairytale of New York plays.

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Sounds like they're a lot smarter than the average American, then.

Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

I remember it taking over the news. As an 11-year-old, it was a terrifying event to contemplate from afar. For those there, it was an unthinkable tragedy.

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

"Good catch! Next time I'll make sure the bullet comes out of the end with the barrel."
