An independent bookstore in deep blue Pittsford, New York might seem like a strange place to meet Trump supporters. But under a big yellow and blue Stand With Ukraine sign, you can hear whispers that DEI is the reason the toppings are 80 cents a pound at the frozen yogurt place down the street

Having a child with additional needs is very ‘extra’ anyway. You have so much more anxiety. I’m on medication for depression because of all of this. The council make it ten times worse. I’ve had to up my medication in the past because of them.”

Thank you for all the suggestions for attracting more hot men to the National Trust. My favourite so far was getting Hot Priest to come and hide out in some of our priest holes. If anyone knows Andrew Scott please can you raise the idea with him - just casually.
Customer feedback this week;
‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’
Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

I see Celtic have released a huge, rambling statement designed to deflect criticism and manipulate supporters, all framed as evidence that the people running the club are accountable.
The kindest interpretation is: "We did our best."
If so, their best clearly isn't good enough.
