It was refreshing to hear the Tories not only concede the election but they also made mention re. the transfer of power and democracy

Spot on. Mogg was grinning so widely, it made me wonder if he understood that he had lost

You should be able to watch the UK version of Sky News on YouTube. I used to watch it that way from Australia. Not sure about Channel 4 from there or from here.

Just in case you're tempted to chuck a Tory your vote today, have a look at this recap from the fabulous, Jonathan Pie www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKAe...

Complaints aside, it did put me in mind a bit of the northern half of Kholusia though. There's been a few things that have echoes of Shadowbringers

Same. Same. I felt my immersion break a little bit when I heard those American accents. I clicked through pretty quickly so I didn't have to hear them. I don't mind the accents but it felt discordant with the game even if it suited that particular moment.

That was my least favourite area of Dawntrail so far also. Mercifully, it’s a small-ish part of the map before the landscape changes again

It is utterly confounding. These six Justices have shown us all that they have no respect for even their own institution. How they can be content to throw the United States into the open jaw of a puerile real estate conman is not a thing I will ever understand

They've done a lovely job with this expansion. If you're looking to unwind some of the stress of the last 24 hours, I can happily recommend it.

On the same morning, the Court said: 1) We should not presume to know more than small town mayors regarding complex, technical questions like whether to arrest people for being poor. 2) I don't see why a "PhD" in "nuclear physics" should have any latitude to implement ambiguous energy rules.

I’m glad that’s the reason and that he’s okay. I’ll miss his posts and hope he returns.

Let’s shift our focus, ok? Donald Trump was fucking incoherent tonight. Yes, he’s always incoherent, but his answers were wholly detached from reality. You know what works better than appeal? Disgust. And there’s a lot in his answers that would disgust people if it were pointed out. So point it out.

The president is extremely old and literally has a cold, and people think the world is ending. We know nothing about either of these men we didn't already know months ago, people. Grow up. You know what needs to be done; now do it.

On January 6th we watched in horror as the orange moron's people stormed the Capitol Building because he urged them to do it. In Australia, ABC News cut the broadcast when his son, DJTJ, started calling for more violence.

It's enraging. They're giving him a platform to rant out his propaganda. What happened to the damned mute button. My teeth itch everytime they call him, "President" Trump

No one was fucking looking at trump's handling of covid and thinking that he was doing a great job. They looked at what was happening in the United States in horror. We grieved for the people of America from afar.

…and also Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I’m still processing how otherworldly it is to hear Amanda Achen sing live and how genuinely good the orchestra is. It was wonderful. If you get the opportunity to go and see Distant Worlds music from Final Fantasy, do go.
